Pet care experience

Attentive, Adaptable, Pal to Dogs

My number one pet care skill is dog walking. In current life I have now, my family recently adopted an eleven month lab mix puppy who I have been helping to house train and potty train her. I live near a park with a track around it, so it makes it easy to walk her. My other skill would be getting dogs to like and trust me. Ever since I was four, I have had at least two dogs, which has trained me to give dogs a lot of pettings, talk to them, and play with them. Other specialties I have are feeding, watering, bathing, and brushing a dog. Overall, I have had five dogs, in my life time since I was four, including a Jack Russel, Terrier mix, Pyrenees Poodle, Feist, and a Lab mix. Parting outside of dogs, I have experience with caring for rabbits, birds and fowl (chicken, duck, geese, guinea), and a stray cat. Apart from my pet experience, I want to clarify how I charge for house sitting. First off, I do not do overnight care, so if you need somebody who will stay over the night please find somebody else! Furthermore, I do not like how Rover charges by night, since the hrs of care people need me for can vary drastically from 1 hr-8hrs. Therefore, when you contact me, I would like to discuss the price with you, and modify the deal accordingly. Here’s a guideline for how I’d like to charge for dogs: - For exactly 1 hr - $25 -Every additional hr - +$5/hr Every additional dog will be 50% more of original charge. A puppy (less than a year) will be 5% more of original charge Holidays will be 5% more of original charge For cats: - For exactly 1 hr - $20 -Every additional hr - + $5/per hr Every additional cat will be 50% more of original charge. Holidays will be 5% more of original charge

Safety, trust & environment

The number one way I will care for your pet at your home is by being attentive. I'll make sure that they are not doing anything they should not be doing. I will also ensure they have plenty of time outside for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. Furthermore I will keep an eye that they are fed properly, have plenty of water, and loved and cared for. Lastly, I'll make certain to clean whatever mess your pet may make and guarantee that your pet is happy and content.

Sarah confirmed everything in advance and asked great questions so we were on the same page. She was on time and took great care of my two dogs while we were away for the whole day. She is kind and friendly. We will use her again!

Let me know your dog's meal plan, such as what they eat, the amount, and how many times they are fed daily. Also, tell me if your dog is on any medication or has any special condition. Other info to share would be any specific behaviors I should be wary of, and/or any special rules you want me to follow pertaining your dog.
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.
