Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

My first dog was a Labrador retriever but my other dogs were mixed breeds I would like to know if they can do any tricks or if they have been trained but I also love any dogs that hav'nt been trained. I will enjoy anything extra that you might like us to do while you are away.

A typical day

We have a lovely park right in my back yard we can walk to and I have lots of tennis balls and we can play catch in the back yard or we can snuggle on the couch.

I love fur babies and I enjoy walks

Pet care experience

I have been a dog bather and groomer for 2 years and I have been walking dogs for two years before I joined Rover in 2020 I love fur babies and I have owned many great dogs. I have also done vacation care with many dogs and I am always on time and put the needs of your pet first and always listen to the owners instructions. I enjoy playing with your pets and if they stay at my home we have a lovely park to walk to every day. I think I can relate to dogs and cats better than people but I still have great people skills and look forward to getting to know you and your pet.

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.
