Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Bestie!

Experienced dog walker and drop-in sitter comfortable with multi-pet homes, including dogs and cats. I regularly care for clients and work with households that have multiple pets, different routines, and varying energy levels. Dogs have been part of my life since I was born. I grew up with large dogs and later took an active role in training multiple puppies, teaching core commands (sit, stay, come, lay down), potty training, and fun tricks. I’m especially comfortable with higher-energy breeds like Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. I currently volunteer with a puppy rescue in my free time. Cats were the one exception growing up—my dad was allergic. In fact, when I was little, I once asked if we could get a cat when he died (very dark childhood humor). As an adult, I became the only person in my family to adopt a cat without growing up with one, which taught me how to quickly learn an animal’s needs, respect boundaries, and adapt my care style. That experience makes me especially attentive in mixed dog-and-cat households. I’m currently focused on dog walks and drop-in visits, so your pets receive punctual, consistent care and my full attention. I know how important reliability and communication are when someone is entering your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. For walks, I tailor the pace and structure to each dog’s needs. For drop-ins, I make sure all pets are fed, exercised, refreshed with water, and given individual attention—not just a rushed check-in. If you’re looking for a dependable Rover sitter with clear communication, multi-pet experience, and genuine care for animals, I’d love to work with you.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I am self employed, if an emergency occurs, I can take care of it immediately and not be worried about an employer having a problem with this. I own a reliable car that is able to take even a few large dogs if necessary. I maintain your pet’s routine exactly as you outline, so their daily life feels familiar and stress-free. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, training reinforcement, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to signs of stress, discomfort, or boredom and adjust activities accordingly. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates, photos, and messages so you know your pet is happy and cared for. I love taking pet pictures!

I have experience with many types of dogs and breeds. My family and I have owned higher energy dogs like Border Collies and Aussies. If your pet has any special needs or interests, I am more than happy to accommodate. I've been commended for my ability to handle all types of animals.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
