Information Rosie H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything you feel I should know about your pet. Any personality quirks or potential medical issues, etc., but these days I’m experienced enough to handle most things that dogs can throw my way. And again, if you like what you’re reading so far, reach out and let’s set up a quick meet-and-greet.

A typical day

While there is no “typical day”, when it comes to dogs, you can probably hear about what it is like for dogs to stay with me best from one of my many clients: “Rosie is incredible! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my puppy buddy. I always know he is in great hands. Lots of photobands updates. -Craig A.

Pet care experience

Hi there, Thanks for checking out my Rover profile. I love taking care of pups whenever an owner is busy or travelling, and I’d be happy to find out about your pup and your needs. Ideally, before booking anything, I like to have a meet and greet (no charge) to get to meet you and your pet(s) and ensure we are a great fit. I will recommend a trial stay ($45-one night stay) if there is any concerns of separation anxiety. This is to ensure the pups stay and your vacation is peaceful. I’m truly happy when I have a dog in my home and the reviews from my clients owners reflect that. I strongly suggest reading some reviews to ensure you know your dog will be in the best care. I strive to be the extended family that you can rely on, since 2022 some reoccurring dogs have become extended family. I’ve been blessed to be invited to one clients Thanksgiving dinner. I love seeing dogs run toward my door and happy to see me. If you like what you’ve read, please reach out asap, as I often book up weeks or months in advance. Thanks!

Rosie has been phenomenal and has been above and beyond while I’ve been away. She has worked so hard on getting my dog accustomed to her and giving me regular updates. Could not recommend more!

Rosie is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very reliable and has been looking after my little dude for over a year now with no complaints. Highly recommend.

My dog, Bronwyn, has stayed twice with Rosie. Each time I've been very impressed with her genuine care and affection for Bronwyn. I'll request Rosie again every time. Thank you, Rosie!!

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.
