I have a fenced backyard where dogs can stretch their legs a bit and get fresh air. I like to take strolls with my fur friends to the local park which is walking distance.

Information Sonya S. would like to know about your pet

If you have no care information or photos of your pet listed on your profile, please include details when you contact me so that I can make sure I can provide the best possible care for your pet. Your pet should come to me clean/groomed. I also appreciate knowing what your pet's bathroom and feeding schedule is.

A typical day

Depending on the age and temperament of the dog, a day will include at least one 30 min walk through the local park. Depending on the weather, I allow dogs to move from the backyard to the indoor play area freely where they can play with toys, relax and sunbathe on the artificial grass outside, or play with toys inside. Water will be plentiful and they will be fed based on your instruction.

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.
