Pet care experience
I am updating my profile because I have retired from being a Home Health Aide. That means more time at home and that will allow me to take at least one dog for any working Dog Moms or Dads who are looking for doggy day care. I was a co-owner of three doggie day care centers in North, Central and Southern NJ. I am animal CPR, massage and injection trained. I served only warm food to my doggies. I love all kinds of animals; once they enter my house, they become my children. I have been accused of loving animals more than people, and, I am OK with that. My darling Leah just went to Heaven to see some old friends. Now I NEED to dog-sit so I'm not so lonesome and can still share my bed! My second German Shepherd and I were trained to visit schools, hospitals and nursing homes. We met once a month at a Juvenile Detention Center in NJ, where kids interacted with Greta. I was an Emergency Room Technician, volunteered on several First Aid Squads in NJ, and have more than 25 years military background. As a result, I remain extremely calm in emergency situations. (But! I do sob at sad movies!) I am a licensed Home Health Aide. My doggie day care business is IMPORTANT to me and I will respond as quickly as possible. THANK YOU for reading about me and remember, I NEED 4-LEGGED, HAIRY COMPANY! I am old fashioned and respond faster to my phone, rather than e-mail. I am home most of the time except for Church on Sunday and Bible Study on Tuesday. I rarely do home health care work anymore. My lawn man does NOT use Roundup and I don't buy any rawhide toys or treats. I serve refrigerator-cold water and warm food, as found in nature. UNFORTUNATELY, I no longer have my own pets except for goldfish and a caged bird.
Reviews
We are snowbirds in Florida and this is the first time we used Rose to care for our standard POODLE Rudy. He Is from a show dog family whose grandfather won Best in Breed at Westminster. This was the best decision we ever made. She provided safety and care. We received daily updates and photos to put our mind at ease. If I had two words to describe Rose, they would be loving and attentive. We highly recommend her to care for your cherished family PET.
A+ as usual.
Do not leave your dog with this woman. I’m reporting her to rover. She did not take good care of my dog. I typed out instructions and communicated with her and she did not follow them. I provided all of the food and snacks for my dog and she fed her random food I did not send. I paid extra for this lady because she only takes one dog at a time, allegedly, and I was clear my dog is not a fan of strange dogs she doesn’t know or hasn’t had a chance to acclimate to. What did she do? She had a stray dog, who could have lord only know what fleas, ticks, or diseases, around my pet. I was clear when I dropped her off I didn’t what other dogs there. She just ignored that and did what she wanted. My flight was delayed and so I arranged to have my sister pick up my dog early to insure I didn’t inconvenience her or have her keep my dog later than we originally agreed. When my sister arrived my poor dog basically fled. She looks skinny and Rose said she hadn’t eaten during basically the whole stay even though when she texted me throughout she indicated that she’d “eaten a GOOD dinner”. I don’t know what to believe but I know my dog looks skinny. I don’t know if she got sick from that stray or whatever random food Rose decided to fed my dog in lieu of what I sent. I don’t normally leave bad reviews and I’ve never had a bad experience on Rover prior to this woman. It’s completely inappropriate to disregard clear instructions and preferences when caring for someone else’s pet. I wouldn’t want anyone else to worry about their dog like I did throughout my entire trip. Don’t book her for your pet. Also I have text messages and photos to back up what I’m saying.
Rose always takes the best care of my girl. Thank you, Rose!
