Information Rae F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog's special needs and I'll do what I can to accomodate. Without fail, your dog should get along easily with other dogs...or at least be willing to ignore them. I have two medium size dogs, 8 and 10 years old. They're playful and friendly.

A typical day

I try to get them out for a good loooong walk at least once a day. About an hour. Maybe more or less depending on weather and what they can handle.

Home away from home for your dog

Pet care experience

My goal is for your pet to have such a great time at my house that they don't want to leave. Boarding can be stressful for pets, so I strive to make sure my little visitors know that they are safe and loved. Even better, I want them to have fun!

Rae has been great with Phoebe, our high energy labradoodle! Phoebe is always excited to see her and we always appreciate Rae’s flexibility and communication! We can always trust that Phoebe will have a great time when she’s staying with Rae!

My dog got very comfortable during her stay with Rae, she made friends with the rest of the dogs under Rae’s supervision, and Rae was very attentive to all my Penny’s sensitivities. I have a very happy pup!

Rae is the best sitter! It’s abundantly clear that she cares for Milo. He has a great time with her and the other pups and comes home happy and healthy (and tired from all the playtime!) As soon as we pull up he rushes to the door to see her. She’s a great communicator with me and has offered tips&tricks about his ongoing training.

Rae was great with communication and went out of her way to make Jackie comfortable during her stay. Jackie will definitely be back! Thanks!

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.
