Pet care experience

Experience and love to spare!

I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away. I'm available for drop-ins and overnights and happy to care for your home during the stay, watering plants, etc. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5 at Yale. Why I love pet sitting Who doesn't love some fuzzy company? And I understand from watching our family pets how disorienting a kennel can be. In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss. (In case you're wondering why my testimonials haven't been updated recently, it's because I took a break from Rover to be more available to sit for family and friends. Sadly, some of those lovely pets have passed away now. It means though that I have the availability to return to Rover and I'm happy to be back!)

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for a pet in their own home. Before accepting a new client, I like to meet the pet and the parent(s) to make sure we're all vibing. I determine routine/schedule/likes/dislikes with the parent(s) in advance and stay in touch if something needs to deviate, which is rare.

Great experience with Ash. The pups seemed very content with her.

Ash came and visited and we knew she was perfect for us. We never had a doubt our pups would be in great care. She updated us and could not be happier. Definitely use her if you need a pet sitter.

Ash was awesome. She impressed us from our initial meeting and made us feel completely comfortable with her staying in our home with our two dachshunds. She sent daily updates to let us know that the dogs were doing well. Definitely a great choice!

Great experience. We had Ash stay overnight with our 2 dogs and guinea pigs and everything turned out as expected. She kept in communication with us and was very professional.

Schedule

In my initial meeting with a family, I like to get a sense of the pet's routine to determine if I can recreate that for them while their parent is away. My schedule, aside from my 9-5, is dictated by the pet's needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Ash can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Activities they enjoy; diet/food routine and favorite treats; friendliness to other animals, children, and people; medical needs; house/dog rules (Allowed on the couch? Barking okay? In training?); anything the owner wants to tell me, please!
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.
