Pet care experience

Home Full time Pet Lover

*Daily text message and photo updates *24/7 supervision. I'm home full time *Long walks and trips to the dog park Hi! My name is Rich and I live at 40th St and Bell. I'm retired so your dog will have full time supervision. I am also one of the Rover Premier pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home interview with a home inspection. . My home is very pet friendly and has a doggy door to the backyard for the dogs convenience. The backyard has a lot of room for your dog to play and has a seven foot high concrete fence. My house is located near some great dog walking areas. I have been a full time pet sitter for over 10 years and have experience with giving dogs their medications including diabetic shots. As a Rover Premier sitter, I will give your dog the love and personal attention that he or she is used to and deserves. I look forwarding to meeting my new guests and their owners. Why I love dog sitting I am an animal lover, especially dogs. You can be sure I will take great care of dogs that I have stay with me as guests. I truly believe that dogs give us so much and ask so little in return. It is my great privilege to interact with these incredible companions. My experience administering medication: Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given a proper demonstration.

Stella had a great stay! Was a little nervous being first time leaving her with a sitter but Richard was very kind and sent lots of pictures and updates.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will go on long walks around my neighborhood. There are several nice parks in my neighborhood. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he or she feels most comfortable. However, I do not allow dogs to sleep in bed with me. Please feel free to bring your dog's favorite pillow, blanket, or dog bed from home. Time I'll spend with your dog Since I am home FULL TIME. Your dog will have my undivided attention, given the love and affection he deserves day and night. While you are gone you can be sure to rest easy knowing that your canine pal is being very well taken care of.
