Reliable, available, ready for fun

Pet care experience

Your dog deserves some time outside. I want to be that person to bring some fun in the sun (or rain/snow) for your companion in chief. I have been around dogs all my life. I grew up taking care of a Lhasa Apso (15 lbs) and lived and cared for a few other smaller dogs throughout my life. I currently have two large dogs, a Lab and a German Shepherd (you can imagine the shedding), and I love walking them and exploring the city together. I have experience using prong collars, ecollars, gentle leaders, and harnesses. My Lab is not a dog park type of dog, and that's okay we have plenty of fun exploring and playing fetch. My German Shepherd does like dog parks and other dogs, people not so much. I know one size does not fit all. Whatever you want me to with your pup just let me know. I want them to have a good time and will treat him/her just like my own. Note: My dogs will not accompany me during rover booked walks. Medicine? No problem. I regularly administer ear drops, have done injections, ointments etc. Solo play? Dog parks? Can do. Over the years with my own dogs, I've learned to recognize body language when a dog looks uncomfortable, anxious, fearful or just wants to play. Let's just have fun.

Steve was fantastic and such a lifesaver. Our girls took to him immediately and they went on a great walk around the neighborhood. Steve was also very responsive, punctual, and was thorough.

We had a great experience with Steve - although I did not meet him in person, he was very responsive and communicated clearly and we found our dog happy and relaxed when we returned. Would recommend!

My favorite places to walk are any park or greenspace in the area. I also bring along a bottle of cold water and a bowl during those really hot days. We try to walk in the shade where possible.
