Love the company of pets!

Pet care experience

I am in my 40s and in a career transition. I have had my own pets... my last dog passed away a few years ago and I am not ready to commit to another yet, but in the meantime, I would love to keep your pets company! I have lots of experience pet-sitting for friends and relatives and am just getting started with Rover. I enjoy walks and dog parks. I feel comfortable walking two dogs at a time, possibly even three if they are very well behaved. I tend to like to let dogs run wild and get dirty, even if cleaning up afterward is a hassle. I am familiar with dog training basics and can reinforce whatever commands or habits you are working on with your pets. In addition to loving cats and dogs and being very attentive to their needs, I'm quite capable caring for plants and gardens.

Annika used to watch our elderly dachshund and is now helping us by staying with our dachshund puppy. She is extremely reliable and willing to go the extra mile with a higher maintenance little guy. She provides excellent communication as well. We feel so fortunate to have found her, I always feel comfortable leaving our pup in her care.

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.
