About: Dogs are treated like family and ,quite honestly, like sweet babies in my household. My roommate and I both have animal experience and adore fury friends. I do have my own 42lb dog as well, so I am only accepting dogs that can be social but I love to give them the dog park, swim in a lake, go hiking kind of experience if permitted. I work remotely, so I have the time to spend with animals during the day. Especially midday long walks. Any animal in my care will be well looked after. I care for all animals like they are my own which means they get spoken to like they’re human and loved like they are human. My house is their house and when going into someone else’s home I am there for one purpose and respect that appropriately.

Jefferson Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dávila was wonderful with our cat Rosie while we were away on a month-long road trip. She checked in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and always left detailed updates with photos that made us feel so reassured. Rosie was clearly well cared for and comfortable in her hands. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave and will absolutely book with her again in the future!
