Information Steven R. would like to know about your pet

I typically ask for your dog's diet needs, medical needs, and any behavioral issues/quirks to keep note of. For example knowing of a dog's issue with chewing ahead of time will allow me to prep my house so there's nothing to chew within dog height.

A typical day

I usually like to reserve a portion of their daily meals as treats in order to reinforce tricks and training. My house is right across from Franklin Park, a popular spot for dog walking, so your dog will get to meet a lot of new friends on their walks.

Steven was great with our dog Izzy! She seemed to settle right in and enjoyed herself!

Steven recently cared for Ms. Coco, our senior dachshund, and did a fantastic job. Through photos and videos we could tell that Coco was well cared for and and was enjoying her own vacation. Steven was easy to communicate with, followed Coco's care instructions, and clearly really loves dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Steven again.

Steven was great with our French bulldog. He took our care concerns to heart and helped our guy stay safe in his care.

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.
