Every dog is different, so I believe the most important thing is to carefully follow pet parents' instructions. I'll strive to care for your dog the way you care for them yourself, including maintaining the dog's familiar routine. I will ask you plenty of questions if anything is unclear, and I'll make sure we're set up for success on every visit.

Information Amanda P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs (including medical needs), if they have any behavioral issues, if they require any special equipment, if they wear any clothing/boots, and how I can best approach and get to know them.

A typical day

I will do whatever the pet parent recommends! Long or short walks, dog parks or regular parks, playtime or nap time. Whatever you and your pet need, I'm there for you.

Loves ALL dogs

Pet care experience

I truly love all dogs. That includes low-maintenance pups but also higher-needs dogs! I'm comfortable with large and XL breeds, senior dogs, dogs that require medical care, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I'm highly communicative, compassionate, and very attuned to pet parents' needs as well as the needs of their pets. I firmly believe that dog care should relieve your stress, not add to it! I recently had to say goodbye to my own amazing, 80-pound pitbull. I trained him myself, then took care of him as he aged--meds, dog diapers, and all. I will extend the same thoughtful, gentle, extra-mile care to your dog. I'm also a poet and a Harvard graduate :)

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.
