I’ll make your pet smile!

Pet care experience

I am a first year medical student at VCU School of Medicine. I have been a dog sitter for four years now. I started dog sitting while I was an undergraduate at the College of William & Mary not only as a way to earn some extra income, but also because I was missing the company of my dog back home. Taking care of pets has quickly become a great joy in my life and I look forward to each Rover request! Though I have only been dog sitting through Rover for four years I have extensive animal care experience through my own experience growing up with a dog. Prior to Rover I was also taking care of pets for my neighbors and family friends. In high school I also spent my free time volunteering at animal shelters So I assure you that I am well up to the task! I am honest, responsible, dependable, and will always treat your pup with kindness and respect! I have a flexible schedule in the afternoons/evenings and reliable transportation to gladly accommodate any of your requests. I am also open to any questions you may have. I am incredibly excited to get to know yourself and your pets!

Angelica was so wonderful! She stayed in our home for a long weekend with our two dogs. They loved her and were searching for her as soon as we returned home from our trip. During her stay she kept in touch, sent photo updates, followed their routines perfectly and gave so many snuggles. We feel so lucky she was able to stay with our pups. Highly highly recommend and will be using her services in the future!

Dog was alive when I returned home and was happy to see me. I found out that she had left him alone more than expected and with access to the guest room bed. When I touch his shoulder he yelps. In my care notes, not letting him jump up and down was mandated. She tried to hand wash kitchen items but dirty implements were put with my clean ones in drying rack. She opted to eat in guest room rather than use breakfast room table or TV tray. Food debris was on countertop and running down new dishwasher. My house is cluttered with belongings from a much larger house but I do try to keep kitchen work areas clean. Not the end of the world…. I was glad she was available to feed, water and let him relieve himself. She might do fine for you and your pet that doesn’t have physical issues.
