“Hallie dropped in to check on Layla while I was away for a long afternoon. She sent pics of Layla and encouraged her to go outside for a little break.....however, in the 97* heat Layla didn't want to go.:-). Hallie was given some directions on how to access the house and she found everything easily. She has a kind personality and I will definitely use her the next time I need pet help.”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and have helped care for pets of friends, neighbors, and family. From walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals. I’m responsible and great at following instructions (which are skills I’ve built through teaching and caregiving roles) I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own! I'm currently a graduate student and student teacher, so my daytime availability is limited on weekdays. However, I'm available for early morning walks before school and in the afternoons/evenings once school is out. I’m also more flexible on weekends and during school breaks! When caring for someone’s pet and entering their home, I treat both with the highest level of respect, safety, and care just as I would want for my own. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow any instructions provided, keep communication open with updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I also make sure your home is left just as you found it, clean, secure, and respected.
About: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years.

I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!
