Pet care experience

Work from home- near park to play

I am a retired pre-veterinary medicine major who loves animals but travels too much to have my own due to my non-profit job which trots me around the globe. When I am not traveling, I work from home in my home in Lakewood. My schedule is very flexible and allows me ample time for walks, bathroom breaks and playing. I have a fully fenced in back yard and an unfenced front yard. I am within walking distance of many parks and the lake! My partner and I have a five year old part time who loves giving snuggles and belly rubs. She is scared of dogs that bark a lot though. I am very clean and will make sure your family member is as comfortable as possible in their home away from home. Whether your dog has energy for days or likes to sleep the day away, my petless place can accommodate!

Abby came to the rescue when I had a last minute emergency. My dog came home happy so I know she was well taken care of.

Prior to the stay, Abby was approachable and communicative, and we were excited to board with her. During the stay, however, communication was an issue. We are used to other rover sitters sending pictures and updates unprompted, actually being available for pick up during the agreed upon pick up window, and coordinating with us if adjustments needed to be made.

A typical day

I love to walk. We have several open parks and are within walking distance of the lake. We also have a partially y fenced back yard which is perfect for sun bathing or playing ball.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Abby can host up to 2 pets per night
I do not have any dog preferences. I grew up with all kinds of dogs (Havanese, Lab, Labradoodle) and can take care of any type of dog. Before sitting, I would love to know the dogs schedule, preferences and quirks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
