Experienced Petsitter & Zookeeper

Pet care experience

I recently moved here to work at a local zoo. I've been working in the zoological field since 2007 with rhinoceros, hoofstock, small mammals and birds. I've always wanted to work with animals, and after years of doing so, I can say that sometimes dogs and cats can be as much of a challenge as a hippopotamus! But I've had lots of epxerience with both lol. I have two cats, and until she passed, my boyfriend and I had a dog (Honey was the best!). I got my first dog in the 7th grade and I've always had cats. I started dogsitting for friends when I moved to Florida in 2010, and I found out about this site then! I've dealt with a lot of dogs in one household (7!), medications, different diets, etc. Your pets are my pets, and pets are family. :) I am flexible based on location and length of stay. I prefer to stay at your house due to the ease of that in terms of scheduling, and this also makes it easier on your pets, staying in the same environment. I currently work a 9-5 job Tuesdays-Saturdays. Hope to hear from you...we'll see what we can do.

Sean was wonderful with the dogs and our home. I was hesitant using Rover, as we’ve never used a house or dog sitter we didn’t know, and the dogs can be fearful of dudes. No concerns. When we returned from a 7 day holiday and opened the front door, they were standing there excited, expecting Sean. Awesome awesome. 10 stars.

My English Bulldogs require a little extra attention due to medical conditions. Sean did everything exactly as I asked. He took wonderful care of both my dogs and house. Very trustworthy guy and a good communicator.

Sean was great! Him and his family took great care of our big baby! With that said, I know our 120lb pup can be a handful to say the least and Sean was nothing but nice and I know Mickey was well taken care of when we were gone! I would def use Sean again as a sitter if he would be willing lol!!

I don't host pets in my own home anymore. I will take care of your pets in your home however you want me to do so.

Information Sean R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about their behavior, diet, likes/dislikes...and what you want from me while you are away. I will treat your pets as if it were my own, but if you'd rather I treat it like it is yours, I can do that too.

A typical day

I am very flexible., though I do work 5 days a week, so when I am at work, the dog will be at your home (wherever you want me to have them) for up to 9 hours with no potty break. Other than that, I will do whatever you would like me to. I am a runner, so I will gladly take dogs for a run, and definitely a walk. :)
