About: With 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health, and comfort. I've worked in a Veterinary setting and have cared for pets of all ages - from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm calm, patient and intuitive, always tuning in to each pet's unique personality. Your pet won't just be watched - they'll be nurtured like family. I prioritize trust, safety and routine, so your pet feels relaxed and happy while you're away. Whether it's administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, or just providing belly rub and playtime, I'm here to give you peace of mind Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I care for my own cats and dogs everyday, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and playtime. I'm used to managing routines, medications and individualized attention - especially with my experience breeding Maine Coons. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize consistency, calm, and companionship in every visit, Whether it's a quick check-in or extended care, you can count on me to show up with patience, presence and love. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priority. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment and follow every instruction carefully - from feeding routine to medications and special needs. With a background in veterinary care, I'm confident in handling emergencies calmly and responsibly. Trust is everything. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'm always happy to provide updates, photos, and honest communication. My goal is to make you and your pet feel secure, supported and at ease every step of the way.

I only work three nights a week, which leaves long weekends available for services. I have pretty open availability to suit your needs. I’m very willing to work with your schedule. Whether you need over night care or daily walks, I'm confident we can arrange something. If the day you need, reach out, we may be able to work something out.

I am experienced with house sitting and take pride in making sure you never have to worry about anything while away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lorain
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my babies! She was so attentive, listened to every little instruction I gave her, and handled my very high-energy pitbull like a pro. She was also so sweet and caring with my cat. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my pets, I truly appreciated how comfortable she made me feel while I was away. I came home knowing they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her with my pets again! 🐾❤️

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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. 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
