I will not be taking in animals. However, at my client's home I will follow instructions if they are left for me. Otherwise, I will make sure your animal has food/water and can go potty. Always making sure to be attentive and interact with your animal ! I will rarely just sit on my phone and not be aware of your animal.

Information A.j. R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any specific care needs. I’m always available during my visits to make sure your animal is PERFECTLY taken care of. I aim to do as well as a job as you would.

A typical day

I’m extremely active and love to go for runs so if your dog is up for that, I’m game! I also enjoy being a homebody so just hanging out with your animal is fine with me !

Pet care experience

Having dogs since I was 3 years old has groomed me to become a perfect sitter/walker for your pooch! I bathe my own dogs frequently and currently take them out 2-3 times a day. Family and friends call me when they go on vacation and need a stay in sitter. I have two cats that are under a year old. So I have experience with them as well. If you need me to walk more than 1 dog let me know! Leave me your notes and ill follow them to a T.

AJ was responsive and reliable. I wasn't home to see him interact with Yoda because we are out of town, but his Nanny was happy.

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.
