Availability

I work a day job so if pets will need a potty break during my lunch break and they aren’t staying with me I would need to limit the area to Olympia/Lacey within 15 min drive of my apartment. I have had a pet or pets for most of my life and feel it enhances life. Pets bring so much joy and laughter!

I can give medications, take for walks, give play time. Until Dec 2023 I had a 15 yr old dog who was my best friend, baby and partner in crime as the saying goes. She passed of old age. My heart is not ready to take on a new pet of my own but I would love to help you with yours. Unless requested otherwise I’m fine with pets on furniture such as the couch or bed.

Information Annmarie R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs for your pet such as short walks, medications, behavioral issues, basic tricks or potty training needed. It’s important to find the right sitter for your baby so I prefer meet and greets in advance.

A typical day

Wake up, take pet outside for a potty break, then feed. Explore parks near my house in the afternoon and/or evening, daily walks, lots of toy play and games. I’d offer treats to teach basic tricks if desired by owner such as sit, give paw/shake, willing to potty train if needed. I’d take pics of the pet throughout the day in order to provide an update to the owner.

From the very first meet-and-greet, I knew my baby was in the best hands! She kept me updated with great communication and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was only the second time I’ve ever left my baby with someone else, so I was naturally a little nervous. She made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. Thank you so much for treating my baby like the little princess she is! I could tell she was spoiled with love, attention, and wonderful care. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I will absolutely be booking with you again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and amazing Rover sitter!

Annmarie was AWESOME with our 2 dogs and cat. She had great communication through our entire trip and went out of her way to take extra care of the dogs to calm them during 4th of July fireworks. Will 100% be asking her to watch them again!

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.
