WAGGING TAILS = EPIC TALES!!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! My name is Tu like the #2. Easy to remember, hard to forget. When I first started out sitting on Rover I had barley and reviews or rankings. Fortunately, my passion, persistance and excellent care has led me to be one of the highest rated sitters in the Boston area. I took a slight break to make some career changes and now that I'm a little more settled, I'm ready to get back into what I enjoy on the side which is hanging out with your pup! I'm sure you have some basic questions for me, I'd like to cover some of them here: Do you have any pets or dogs of your own? - I currently do not have any pets or dogs of my own. However I did have a hamster when I was 12. We had a play date with a friend that had another hamster and one thing led to another... a few weeks later I ended up with 12 Hamsters, my mom wasn't to happy about that at the time. Aside from the Hamsters I was always an avid dog lover but never had the opportunity to have one of my own. Why did you join Rover/become a dog sitter? - I understand that having a dog is a long term and full time commitment that I'd love to commit to in the future. However at the moment, I'm not ready to make that commitment quite yet. In 2014 I found Rover and started dogsitting from there. Since then I have lived vicariously through other people's dogs and have watched over 160+ dogs in my time. I've had so much fun since then, I haven't looked back. Now instead of having just 1 dog of my own I can care for a wide array of dogs. What more could a dog lover want?! What's your schedule like in terms of caring/watching my dog? - I've started and fully submerged myself in the realm Real Estate. A flexible yet sporadic schedule comes with the territory. Since its flexible I can arrange my schedule around to accomodate your needs. I'm always working, so as long as I have internet access and my laptop then I 'm a happy camper! Where will my dog stay when you're away? - Right in your own home! What better feeling than to have your furbaby in the comfort of their own home and schedule without having to worry about being exposed to a new environment. I use to host dogs at my residence however since moving, my current place unfortunately doesn't allow dogs... womp womp. What happens if there is an emergency? - Before every stay I always require an emergency contact and vet information for the pup. I like to get a schedule or itinerary for your pups daily activities, medical information, allergies, etc. I also have a car so should there be an emergency I am able to get them to the vet right away! You sound amazing! I'd love to have you watch/care for my dog while I'm away. Whats the next step? - I always require to have a meet & greet before any stay so it'd be a good fit and everyone is comfortable with everyone else. Dog and human a like. We can set something up that works with both of our schedules and have a meet & greet from there. I look forward to hearing from you and excited to meet you and your Furbaby!

Tu was absolutely amazing with Adicus! He was so comfortable with Tu, that he had taken himself to bed by the time we returned home. Absolutely fantastic sitter!

Our dogs really warmed up to Tu in the week we were gone. (I even think they miss him!) He was a great sitter -- sent lots of updates, was very friendly and responsive. One of our cats is finiky and will hide for days after someone new is in the house, but she was out and about when we got home which must mean that she liked Tu, too!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in South Boston and there is a beach 10 minutes from my house, plus a ginormous park with a lot of grassy areas for running around in. A little further down about 15 minutes is an actual dog park that other dog owners always bring their dogs to. I can also bring your dog there to socialize with other dogs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I can put together a little area in my room with a sleeping bag, cushions and/or blankets. Time I'll spend with your dog I just finished with school so I'm in between school and job hunting right now. So most days I am generally free so your dog will get a good amount of attention and care.
