Information Symone G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets daily schedule, their likes and dislikes, and how frequently you would like communication from me! I would also like transparency on your pet's temperament (are they a barker), special needs, and any issues like leash aggression, anxiety, or other things I should be aware of.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park or on long walks. I live across from St. Nicholas Park with plenty of areas to play or just gave a relaxing walk along the nature path.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Symoné and I’m a furbaby queen! I've been caring for puppies, seniors, grumpies, sweeties and everything in between for 10+ years. I own my own wellness business and work from home so I have the flexibility to set my work hours and be available for pet care as needed! My apartment is cozy, hazard-free, Extra Large and located on the first floor. My building is across the street from St. Nicholas Park which is great for walks or playing in a grassy area! I love to give lots of belly rubs and cuddles and an avid Walker. Dogs receive about 4-5 walks a day in my care. My experience includes -Separation Anxiety -Administering medicine -Administering an IV -Puppies -Rescues -Pit Bulls -Temperamental Dogs -Older Dogs I pride myself in being overly communicative, patient and loving during your dog's stay with me. My only requests: -If you’re dog is not fully house trained please provide pee pads -Please provide doggy poop bags -Please be transparent if your dog is use to sleeping in bed with you -Please provide a crate if they’re use to one

Symoné has been great with my dog, Zeke. She is very reliable and communicative, and has no problem giving medication etc.

She took great care of Luna while I was away! I appreciated the updates and photos during the stay, and Luna came home happy and relaxed. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Thank you again for caring for Luna!

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.
