Information Shelley D. would like to know about your pet

I need to know level of socialization with other dogs, any behavioral concerns, and any medical concerns I should be prepared for. I also need to confirm the dog's vaccination and park permit status.

A typical day

Love the dog parks if your dog has a permit, as well as area trails that allow dogs, or areas that your dog already feels most comfortable. My trained sheltie comes as a playmate.

Shelley was fantastic! She was great at communication and sending updates on my dog. I was so happy to have her help let my dog out this weekend.

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.
