About: I've been helping out families I know with dog and cat sitting since 2020 and am ready to do it in a more formal way. ——- Here's the story: my behaviorally-complex bestie turned me into a dog trainer, and now my day job is helping other families like mine. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP). ——- I like to take things slow when I meet a new pet, unless they're not into that kind of thing and would rather go straight to sharing our personal space. I can take a hint...because I've spent time learning body language! ——— I believe in meeting an individual's needs based on their responses to activities. We can find all kinds of projects to fulfill your pet's physical, mental, and emotional needs. Enrichment is the key! ——- I also have lots of experience caring for reptiles and amphibians, and I share my home with two snakes. 🐍 I work full-time from home, and have a flexible work schedule. This makes it easier to fit caring for folks' pets in the comfort of their own home into my schedule. As a Fear Free Certified Professional, the comfort of the pet in front of me is my #1 concern. I want to meet your pets before I drop in, so let's set up a meet and greet! ----- I love engaging pets with mentally stimulating activities that allow the expression of their natural behaviors. Since I build enrichment plans for pets for a living, I tend to find creative ways to incorporate what is available to help pets use their bodies and brains to have a good time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Bree a thousand stars, I would! She went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable leaving my four cats and to make sure they felt safe with her. My cats aren’t easy to win over, but all four absolutely adored her! They got excited to greet her at the door and loved being nosy and watching everything she did. Knowing my babies were in such caring hands eased my anxiety so much. Bree is warm, personable, and truly fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for my fur babies. ❤️
Angie has been helping with my pups for years now and watched them grow up and she has been absolutely amazing. My pups love seeing her and she takes such great care of them. I love seeing her photos and updates every week. I would recommend her to anyone needing animal care. 💕
Melinda was fantastic taking care of my babies while I was out of town. She communicated well and gave great notes for the check ins. She was also really flexible when our dates/times had to be adjusted. I’ll definitely be trusting her to babysit my dogs, cat, and bunny again. Especially with the extra TLC she gave one of my dogs when he had an anxiety episode.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
