About: In my pet care experience, I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment where animals can thrive. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s training energetic puppies or providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, I adapt my methods to ensure every furry friend feels comfortable and cherished. One of my special skills is training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to instill good behavior and strengthen the bond between owner and pet. I understand the importance of consistency and patience in fostering healthy habits from a young age. Additionally, I have extensive experience in senior pet care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and offering companionship to ease any anxiety or discomfort. I recognize the significance of maintaining routines and adapting care plans as pets age, ensuring they receive the attention and support they deserve in their golden years. Overall, my commitment to compassionate care, coupled with my expertise in training puppies and caring for senior pets, distinguishes me as a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. I take pride in creating enriching experiences for both pets and their owners, fostering trusting relationships built on mutual respect and affection. As someone who is not employed, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, enriching my life with purpose and joy. My schedule revolves around providing attentive care and companionship to furry friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Each day begins with a morning routine focused on feeding, walking, and engaging in playtime with the pets under my care. I prioritize their needs, whether it’s administering medication, practicing training exercises, or simply offering cuddles and affection. Throughout the day, I maintain regular check-ins to ensure the well-being of the animals, incorporating additional walks, outdoor excursions, or interactive toys to keep them stimulated and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll through the park or a cozy afternoon spent lounging together, I dedicate quality time to building trusting relationships with each pet. In the evenings, I wind down with soothing activities such as grooming, gentle massage, or quiet snuggle sessions, fostering a sense of calm and relaxation for both myself and the pets. Bedtime rituals include ensuring comfortable sleeping arrangements and providing reassurance for any anxious or restless animals. On a weekly basis, I prioritize tasks such as grooming, vet appointments, and replenishing supplies to maintain the health and well-being of the pets in my care. Additionally, I allocate time for ongoing training and enrichment activities, fostering mental stimulation and physical fitness for continued growth and development. Overall, pet care is not just a responsibility but a fulfilling passion that shapes my daily and weekly routine. By providing unconditional love and support to animals, I find purpose and fulfillment in creating meaningful connections and enriching lives, both theirs and mine Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are paramount in my approach to dog walking. I understand that entrusting your beloved furry companion to someone else requires a high level of confidence and peace of mind. That’s why I prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for every dog in my care. Safety is always my top priority. I meticulously assess walking routes to avoid busy streets and potential hazards, ensuring each outing is both enjoyable and risk-free. Additionally, I adhere to leash laws and maintain control over the dogs at all times, mitigating any potential conflicts or accidents. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the dogs and their owners. I cultivate open communication and transparency, providing regular updates and feedback to keep owners informed and reassured. By building trust through consistent reliability and professionalism, I strive to become a valued and trusted partner in their pet care journey. Environment plays a crucial role in fostering a positive experience for dogs during walks. I seek out peaceful, natural settings where dogs can explore, exercise, and engage their senses freely. Whether it’s a serene trail through the woods or a lively park filled with exciting sights and smells, I tailor each walk to cater to the unique preferences and energy levels of the dogs in my care. In essence, my dog walking profile revolves around creating a nurturing environment where safety is upheld, trust is earned, and dogs can thrive both physically and emotionally. By providing attentive care, fostering open communication, and prioritizing the well-being of every furry friend, I aim to deliver a dog walking experience that exceeds expectations and brings joy to both dogs and their owners alike.

Many of my friends and family have dogs, so she and I are constantly surrounded by furry friends of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I regularly take Bettie to dog parks, hikes, and dog-friendly adventures, giving her plenty of opportunities to socialize and interact with other dogs. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable reading different dog personalities, understanding their boundaries, and recognizing when a pup wants to play, needs space, or just needs a little extra reassurance. Between caring for Bettie for the past five years and being surrounded by dogs through my friends and family, I’ve developed a genuine understanding of how different every dog can be. Whether your pup is social and playful, shy and cautious, energetic, quirky, or a senior enjoying a slower pace, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at ❤️ Your dog’s comfort and happiness come first, and I’d love to give them the same love, patience, and attention I give Bettie 🐶🐾 As Bettie has gotten older, I’ve become diligent about keeping her routine consistent and paying close attention to her meals, exercise, energy levels, comfort, and overall behaviour.

During walks, I’m happy to match their pace and energy level, whether they’re looking for an active adventure or a relaxed stroll. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit or walk, so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
