Information Theodore N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, medications or behaviors I need to know about! Leaving a list behind of those things would be very helpful for me.

A typical day

I love to go on walks in neighborhoods around the houses I'm at! I know Peoria well so I can find fun spots to walk to. If the weather is bad I like to setup puzzles or play with toys!

Pets

Experience with a variety of pets!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm where we had multiple different animals - dogs, cats, cows, chickens, goats, turkeys, pigs and at some points even a horse. This started my love for animals! Since then I've cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, small animals and exotic pets. Currently I have 4 cats, and 2 dogs. I've had various reptiles, frogs, and spiders as well. I also have experience with extra care for special needs animals (my oldest cat, 3 of my lizards had special needs, and a few clients have pets who needed shots/liquid medication). My friends, family and my return clients have relied on me for feeding, walks, and staying over with their pets while they are working or out of town for years. Being around any type of animal makes me happy, and being able to help out people makes me really happy too. Take a look at my photos to see some of my past and repeat clients! I've returned because I missed this job a lot!

Theo has watched our dogs before and our dogs love him. Theodore is consistent with his daily visits and communication. We will use his services again.

Theodore did a great job sitting our dogs. He sent pictures and kept me up to date with how things were going.

Theodore is very personable and good with our puppies. If something comes up or he has any questions, he’s not afraid to ask which is important since one of our puppies has health issues. Very flexible and understanding given our situation. Will definitely be booking for our next travel plans. Thanks Theo!

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.
