Choosing someone to care for beloved furry friends can be a daunting task—and this is why I’m always honored to care for your pets like I would my own. After working for rover for almost a decade, and with hundreds of pet clients, I’ve gained a wide understanding of the various needs of both owners and pets. The pets I’ve cared for have ranged from chickens, to horses, to rabbits, to puppies, and cats, tiny ones, the biggest ones, the fearful, the calm and sweet, and the playful! One of the best parts of my job is creating rapport with such friendly and open creatures. I remember each pet I care for, and love to watch puppies become incredible adult friends for their owners. 🙂 I cater specifically to your pets needs—feeding times, schedules, and medications (I even have experience giving insulin shots). Prior to beginning on Rover I volunteered at an animal shelter for three years. This labor of love included walking dogs, caring for them, and assisting in pet adoptions. During that time I gained experience handling temperaments of all types, and learned about the unspoken body language that dogs communicate with. Assisting in the adoption process also gave me a wide understanding of the love involved when taking in a pet, and so I am always honored when clients choose to work with me! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to modify, according to the owner’s and pet’s needs. Trust is of utmost importance—I treat others’ spaces, pets, and belongings with the care and respect that I would hope my space is given should I be in the opposite position. Trust and safety are number one! I am honored to be given the trust and vulnerability of someone allowing me into their home, and to interact with such beloved furry family members. I’d love to meet you and your pets!
