Safety, trust & environment

I sadly can not host in my apartment because it is a small studio apartment with no back yard. When in your home taking care of your pet, I will follow the schedule you have set with your pet and know plenty of DIY interactive mental stimulations activities for dogs. While also taking your dog on as many walks as it needs throughout the day.

Information Shelby B. would like to know about your pet

I want to meet the dog with owners present before being left alone to make sure that the dog is comfortable around me. I would also like to know any specific training that the dog requires (if any for on walks) and/or any behavior issues (if present in the dog.

A typical day

I know many DIY puzzle and interactive games for dogs to work their mind and I am no stranger to fetch and tug of war. Depending on location I love to take my dog for walks in Tower Grove Park or go to a dog friendly coffee shop.

Pet lover looking to furbaby sit!

Pet care experience

I grew up with two cats then two dogs and recently adopted my own dog last year. He required a lot of training and desensitization (from severe fear and anxiety of almost everything) after spending his whole life in a shelter. He is very high energy and requires a lot of exercise both physically and mentally. I am aware of dog queues and dog language. I also have experience watching and walking my friend and families pets, as well as doing daily check ins (with cats)

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.
