Give your dog a stay-cation! I watch your dog in your own home. I do everything I can to make your trip worry-free. That includes taking in the mail, watering plants, any reasonable housesitting tasks. Your pup sticks to their routine and gets lots of love and one on one attention! Do you have a large dog? Great! I have plenty of experience with big dogs. Medical conditions are not a problem. I have plenty of experience giving pills, and I often work with dogs who might need some extra consideration around their medical conditions. I'm used to working around special needs; my dog had hip dysplasia surgery. Over several months of gentle exercise, balanced diet, and regular supplements, he's regained most of his mobility! Does your dog have behavioral issues? I have plenty of experience with anxious or aggressive dogs. Most dogs just need a bit of patience! I practice positive reinforcement, rewarding desired behavior and ignoring (non-harmful) unwanted behaviors. People with high energy anxious dogs have come home to find that their dogs are actually tired! I'm an experienced dog person: I volunteered at the SPCA for several years, and have worked at a dog boarding facility/daycare. You might come home to find I've taught your dog a trick or two! Do you have exotic pets? I have experience with parrots, snakes, iguanas, skinks, sugar gliders, crows, and turtles, as well as more common small mammals like mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits. Rover doesn't offer options for exotics, so we can charge these as a dog walk or a cat visit depending on the level of care required. Normal feeding and watering is included in the cost of a regular visit.
