About: As a paw parent myself, I treat yours as if they are my own. I have two cockapoos that are well socialized, and loving. I have been a Rover parent, also have hired personal pet-sitters so know what I expect and what you should expect. I treat your pet as if they were my own. It takes patience and kindness - simple. I walk pets 3 times a day, 5am, 3pm, 9pm. They are fed either 1/2 times a day at your preference with snacks and treats in between. If you allow plain treats such as fruits, carrot sticks, Cheerios, etc. I am in the healthcare field, Pet CPR/First Aid certified and thankfully have not experience any medical emergencies. I live in an apartment surrounded by two parks, and within 10 mins of dog parks (at your preference). They are free to roam my apartment and allowed on furniture and my bed (at your preference).
