Trained in dog/horse walking, bring my trained therapy sheltie with me always, fenced in backyard, willing to bring dogs to area dog parks if they have permits

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 is great! We've used her for years. The cats love her and she does a great job while we're away. I can trust she is taking care of my kitties.

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.
