Pet care experience

Let take care of your precious pets

I've taken care of animals for years. When I was younger I not able to have a dog. So when I could I went to the library and researched breeds of dogs. I was so interested I even went to local dog shows. I love dogs and like cats to so let me take care of your family pet. I have experience with older dogs and dogs with special needs. I am working part-time right now, but I have time to play and take care of your precious dog or cat. Weekends are good for me. Let me know and I will be there to walk, play, and feed your family pets. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep them company. If I come to your place I will take care of your dog and make sure to have their best interests at heart. Whether at my house or yours your pet will be taken care of.

Thank you Stuart, for taking such good care of Sweet Pea. The updates, and care and great feedback was really appreciated. Anyone would be proud for you to take care of their fur babies.

Stewart was awesome. I had previously hired a sitter to stay with Otis and Izzy and they bailed on me. I had heard about Rover, and I thought no way will find one the day we are leaving. But….Stewart came to my rescue, plus another nice lady I had contacted also agreed but I had already hired Stewart. He did very well, he kept us informed, he sent pictures, some weee same but that’s OK. He had some trouble with Otis eating and Izzy is very sensitive, and doesn’t warm up to people at first time. But as time progressed she got better. Stewart’s schedule is very busy during week working full time job, harder for him to make a mid day visit as we would like. We like for them to get out 3 times which was not a problem on weekend. I would use him again, as he did excellent job.

Stuart took great care of our two geriatric dogs w/ health issues (administered meds, assisted w/ blind/deafness access). He stayed overnight in our home to care for them and texted regular updates and pics. He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable of care for special needs/geriatric dogs. Highly recommend Stuart and we will be requesting him for future needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced in backyard that my dogs enjoy with plenty of shade and a shed. The animals I petsitt will have plenty of room to run and play. They will also have loads of playtime and enjoyment with my dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I will play fetch with your pet and make sure they have plenty of exercise. I live near some lakes and we could even go swimming if your pet enjoys this activity. The lake is near hiking trails and we would go for walks there. We could also go to some local parks or go downtown for walks. I enjoy jogging so we could even jog together. When your pet is with me they will get active.

I am a person who likes to know about each pet I look after so I can plan. If your pet has special needs like medical needs let me know. I have experience with giving medicine to dogs like insulin or oral medicine. I had dogs in the past that needed this help. So I am not scared to give medicine. If your dog needs special food just let me know. If your pet as any special needs at all let me know.
