Safety, trust & environment

When walking, I am very aware of my surroundings at all times and walk dogs on sidewalks or on the shoulder of the street to keep dogs away from parasites and other animal waste. I take frequent breaks for dogs that may need it (puppies, elderly dogs, and special needs dogs).

Information Shakira W. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are accepted. Meet and Greets are mandatory. Is your baby slow to accept strangers? Does your baby have any allergies? What are some triggers or fixations that you baby has? Is your baby a forager on walks? Do you have a routine? Is your baby on any medications? What are your commands? What is your baby’s activity level? What is your baby’s favorite activity? What are your baby’s aversions? I need to see a recent vet record for applicable services.

A typical day

I can throw a ball for hours and can roughhouse with the best of them. I enjoy going for long walks by lakes where dogs can have new experiences like seeing fish. I’m never out of belly scratches or ear rubs and love cuddles.

Good communication and housesitting! Shakira spent 5 nights housesitting our apartment and took good care of the pets, plants, and home.

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.
