Information Tim S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs so we can talk about the best approach to caring for them to make sure they are well tended!

A typical day

We take long walks up the Vetarane Trail to Gazzam Lake. We also walk along Crystal Springs Dr and often go out on the Point White Dock to check out the smells!

Pet care experience

I’m a dog lover and will love your dog. They sense it! I have some flexibility and can do last minute drop ins and “emergency” walks if you get stuck. I can walk solo or with another dog and can do trips for off leash walks. We have lived on Bainbridge so long that our first dogs were mostly off leash and became neighborhood dogs. We previously had a Kitsap HS adoptee who had medication needs so I am conscientious about those issues as well. I’d like to meet Rover before taking on a walk or a dog-sitting gig and can make time to do that. I am reliable and punctual and with dogs firm but loving. Hope I can help you out. Thank you!

Tim was amazing. I’ve never felt better leaving my dog, my cats and my home with a stranger. Thank you!

Tim and his wife treat Lucy like a member of their family while she’s there. I can’t think of a better situation for her while we are away.

Tim has watched our lab on five occasions now. He is always flexible with times of drop-off & pick-up - and responds promptly to texts. Cisco is beyond well-cared for in Tim's home. Cisco is walked frequently & loved on by Tim's whole family & neighbors. Each time we leave town, I feel no guilt or worry, as I used to with kennel-boarding. Thanks for all the pictures you sent, Tim!

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.
