Safety, trust & environment

As the care would be in your house, your pet won’t have to be stressed out by an unfamiliar environment and other pets, I am happy to speak to you to learn about, and meet, your pet beforehand, and I can stick to whatever schedule you already have put in place for your pet

Information Renee G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything and everything specific to your dog(s) needs and routines! Fenced in yard or not, serial puller, required medications, activity level, all information is welcome! I will need to know feeding, medication, and veterinary instructions though, as those are your animal’s basic needs

A typical day

I love to play with, train, and walk dogs. I’m willing to modify the routine to each dogs needs, as obviously older dogs are much more mellow and younger puppies require lots of exercise. In general; walks or play time during the day, and before bedtime at night

We really liked Renee this first time and immediately rebooked, however, the second time she barely messaged me and was extremely delayed when she did. It also seemed as though she left WAY earlier than I had her reserved for and left our dog in the kennel way longer than agreed upon. As I was contacting her that morning and into the afternoon for some follow up questions, she totally ghosted me and never responded. It had to do with house concerns AND dog concerns and I am just really displeased that my dog was in her kennel for 7+ hours rather than the 4 we discussed along with no communication about this or if my dog got her medicine either. I unfortunately will not use her again.

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.
