A typical day

A typical day is getting up and the pups go outside first thing. Then after coming in, they are fed. I usually let them out at least once more before leaving for work. When I get home, the first thing I do is let them outside again. Typically dinner is around 5 pm. After that, lots of snuggles and potty breaks.

Thank you for everything that you’ve done for Kobi, he has had the best stays with you and I know always was spoiled between cuddles and getting to run around :)

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.
