Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am pretty flexible with the care that is needed for each dog. For example I understand if certain dogs have boundaries. Our dog is familiar with gated areas, as he does not go downstairs to the basement. For dogs that pull, I highly recommend harnesses where the leash clips in front of the chest. This turns the dog towards you when they pull. I also recommend long leashes to encourage exploration and enrichment (when it's safe of course!). Keep in mind, pets are not to be kept outside for long below temps of 32F and above 90F.

Sent several pictures of Luna doing her activities which was so nice. She spent time with my dog and even got her to eat her dinner!

Rachel responded quickly to a last-minute need and was able to work within the time frame I requested for three days in a row. She took great photos and left messages regarding the care she gave.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for. So far I don't have experience with injections and first aid, but I am always willing to learn through repetition.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
