Love animals and their people

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I knew as I grew up I wanted to go somewhere with it, I began by offering my services to neighbours and family friends and now like to branch out and help others with their animals. I am good with dealing with dogs that are anxious or just need a little extra care. I would say a skill of mine is being very attentive to their needs and behaviour.

River was amazing with Bruno. Super responsive and kept me informed with text and pictures. I highly recommend River . Bruno seems to have taken to River and her love for animals comes across on her caring and compassionate care. Thank you River

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow any boundaries in homes I am staying at. If you are crate or leash training that is perfectly okay with me. I will always make sure to know where the dogs are at all times as well. When I am overnight/day sitting I prefer to stay with the animals most of the time

Information River M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is reactive, shy, a barker etc. I am totally okay working with that, but I believe it’s important to cater to the individual needs of every animal. I do particularly love small breeds like Shih Tzu’s and Pekingese, but also medium and large. I’ve worked with pitbulls and larger mutts in the past few months and they are some of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met.

A typical day

I love going to parks with dogs and running around with them, especially in the warm weather. I am willing to take them on trails and explore new places with them that the parents are okay with.

Availability

I am available most days to do drop ins or walks. I do have a part-time job, the days I work I mark as not available in the Rover calendar, but usually I can make things work. I’m quite a flexible person and I appreciate flexibility from pet parents. My biggest priority are making sure the pets are happy and safe always.
