Hello friends, and welcome to 2026! Whether you're new to the Washington scene, or you've been here for ages, you're in for a good time with me, Angel! 😇 I'm welcoming you into my 7th year here on the Rover platform. I even started my own sitting business in 2023 but closed it down when I realized all that Rover does - and that I couldn't match the cost and ubiquitousness of features. I'm extremely confident that as long as I'm available, something good will come of your current situation. Please, take a read through my profile and let's make sure that all involved are compatible: As an aspiring whisperer, I'll know what your pet wants, what they're trying to tell me, and I will customize an approach to make your buddy happy within your parameters. Enjoy your time away while your fur-baby's needs are taken care of. I've seen first-hand what great Rover sitters do to take care of pets and I strive to offer even better service. I have experience with: *The geriatric, *Potty-training puppies, *Injured small/large dogs & cats, *Free-range critters such as farm animals and reptiles. Plus, I give extra attention to caged critters like rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. However, I purposely choose not to interact with puppies anymore whenever possible for liability reasons. Reach out to me if you're looking for someone chill and laid back but assertive when it comes to your animal's safety and happiness. For your protection, I have even opted-in to the Enhanced Background check over some other Rover sitters. And for your buddy's protection, I've been certified in Dog & Cat CPR by the American Red Cross since 2023. *Due to a chronic, arthritic medical condition that does not allow me to perform multiple long daily walks, one long walk every other day is about as much as I can muster during overnight bookings. I have needed to retract my dog walking services as a result and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Short (0.5mi) daily potty walks for drop-ins and sittings work just fine and are helpful!*
