Pet care experience

Rottweilers are my favorite breed.

I've had dogs my entire life. Some of my fondest memories of childhood include playing hide and seek with my brother and sister and our dog, Scamp. I guess, I just seem to get dogs and how they communicate with their pack... (though, my sister-in-law calls me "The Baby Whisperer," too). Now, I own and rescue Rottweilers for fun, my brother owns and rescues Pit Bulls, and my sister lives on a family farm. I figure understanding animals is somewhere in the most ancient parts of our DNA.

I was kind of nervous at first to have a new setter for the dogs, as we've always had one that we used in pensacola, when we were in florida. We came up to indiana for the summer and found steve on rover. He was very informative and appears to really appreciate our dogs and their needs. I would highly recommend steve for anyone that's got senior dogs or any dogs for that matter.

Steve was very easy going. Buster was well taken care of. I will consider using Steve again.

Repeat customer. Steve offers a second home for Sheriff. When we are traveling, we know that our dog is in very good hands. Steve is also flexible and comprehensive when there is a change of plans and schedules.

I don't really consider "breed" a large factor, though I do consider temperament to be important. That said, I can easily handle ANY dog, but I don't want to find out that your dog is going to be a problem from your dog. I ask that you be open and honest with me as I will be with you. You might just get a different dog back if you do...
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.
