Highlights
Pet care experience
Clean, energetic and caring
I look forward to getting to know your pup, and helping you give them what they need, whether you are away, or are just swamped! I grew up, caring for the family's high energy German Shepherd and Border Collie. When I went to college, I began looking after friends' dogs over night: meals, town and trail walks, water playing, poop clean ups, bed time routines, tick checks in the evening while they settle in for the night. Since then, I have helped manage dogs in work camp settings, and in homes, for friends and coworkers. I have some experience with puppies, seniors and high stress dogs. I have house sat for single nights, weekends, and several weeks at a time, which I enjoy because it helps me get to know your dog better! I am tidy, respectful of your house rules, and I enjoy caring for houseplants when everyone is put to bed.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am respectful of homes, dogs needs and their stresses. For dog walking, I will walk dogs often in leashed areas. I enjoy bringing dogs to off leash trails -only upon your consent- if your dog has shown good recall, and is safe with other dogs and people. The safety of your dogs and other people is at the forefront of my priorities. I will keep you updated on your dog, on walks, checkups or dog sitting. Throughout the day, I'll check out your dog's poops, make sure they don't get into garbage, and following your rules for greeting dogs and other people. For dog sitting, I am attentive to the dog morning, noon and in the evenings. I will not leave the house for more than 4 hours on weekends. I will play with them inside and outdoors, and ensure they get frequent pee and poop breaks.
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Rose as a pet guardian! She is incredibly trustworthy, patient, compassionate and conscientious, and can capably take care of my 80 lb lab/pittie mix, whether for walks or longer stints of petsitting. My dog is anxious and reactive to other dogs, and Rose made me feel at ease while also following our existing training plan. Thanks Rose!!!
Its hard describe the relief and appreciation that you feel when a quality human looks after your home, garden and high energy German Short Haired Pointer. Rose is that person and so much more. We received frequent updates of there adventures, the house was tidy and clean upon return and the garden taken care of. We would recommend Rose to anyone and especially for pets that are at there best when climb 3 mountains on a weekend! We look forward to having her back.
