Ruffin’ It in Sedona

I like poetry, sunsets, and long walks on the beach. None of which matters to your pet - except maybe the long walks on the beach. Which would be nice, if I lived near the beach. Note: I have found a wide variation in the amount of attention different dogs need. Dogs requiring more attention are more liable to damage furniture, screen doors, etc., and Rover doesn't provide any coverage for that. Rover also doesn't allow sitters to specify different rates based on age/size/breed/etc. (except for a puppy rate). My rates are the minimum I feel comfortable charging for a minimum care dog - I may request a higher rate for certain dogs.

Vlad did a great job dealing with my boys (sorry about the crazy Moose). Thanks again for covering on short notice.

Vlad was very accomodating. He showed up as agreed to let the dogs out and everything went fine.

Vlad was super great with our puppy and made sure he felt comfortable. He kept us updated and even sent a few photos. Very reliable, we will definitely use him again.

Schedule

I work remotely and am currently in between jobs. I am home in the mornings, then in the late morning/early afternoon I usually head into town, either up into the canyon for a dip in the creek, or to a coffee shop. I always take dogs with me when I go out, and make sure to park in the shade with the windows down if they stay in the car.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back patio and no pets of my own. Unfortunately I have had some damage to my property recently, and since Rover does not provide any coverage, I am starting to be more selective about the pets I take on.

A typical day

I spend as much time as I can outdoors, including up in the canyon where it's cooler in the summer. I like taking dogs to my favorite cafes in Sedona. If they like other dogs, I take them to the dog park where they can run free.

Are your dogs crate trained, and will you be providing crates for them? Do they get along with other dogs, and can they be taken to the dog park? Do they like water?
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.
