Grad Student who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old when I got my Corgi. People know me for being attentive, caring and reliable. I am willing to go above and beyond to help take care of your dogs.

I was so happy Tim was able to watch our dog Bodi. He communicated with me just the right amount and it definitely seemed like Bodi had a great time. Tim was even super accommodating and flexible when my flight was getting in at a weird time, making everything so much easier than it usually would be if I had used a boarder. I would absolutely have Tim watch our dog next time we go out of town if he is available. He is great!

Tim was great with our old pup; he administered meds, made sure she ate and was great with communication. Terrific experience; we’d use him as our dogsitter again.

I’ll admit, I’m demanding. I have high expectations. I also have anxiety and ADHD. I’m a nervous wreck leaving my dog with a stranger. I usually try and get a neighbor to watch my dogs, so I seldom use Rover. But I did and I’m glad I did! Tim was awesome. Tim was confident, calm, flexible and caring!! I searched Rover for some pretty specific criteria: someone with a house, fenced in yard, flexible with drop off and pick up times, no small kids in the house, no cats, and only one dog - my dog, at a time. Tim met those criteria and more. He didn’t have many Rover reviews so I asked him to tell me about himself, he did, and I’m so glad I chose him! Tim is a grad student and had plenty of time and energy to wear out my Labrador. After I picked her up, after her initial excitement to see us, she passed out on the drive home. She never sleeps in the van, so that was a great sign. One last thing, I have two dogs and they have been in several fights with each other lately. I was very anxious about leaving Sunny because I know how she is with my other dog. I was afraid she would be hard to manage on walks because Tim lives in a neighborhood where there are a lot of other dogs. I was also afraid what would happen if she got loose, and not know the neighborhood. I was worried Tim wouldn’t be able to figure out her harness. Like I said, I have anxiety… I had nothing to worry about with Tim. He went above and beyond. So glad I chose him, I hope you do too.
