Many dogs need specialized, one-on-one care, and leaving them behind is always going to be a challenge. Omega, my dog, has severe separation anxiety and epilepsy. She’s on a special diet, doesn’t always get along with other dogs, and tends to pull on her leash. I know that I could never leave her in a kennel! In fact, typical boarding options present a lot of problems for dogs like her. I became a pet-sitter to ensure that pups like Omega get the best care when their owners have to go out of town, or work long hours each day. I’m a perceptive, loving caretaker. When I’m with your dog, she will get my undivided attention. We’ll take long walks and enjoy outdoor play. With each visit, I also make time to relax with the pup so that they can bask in warm, friendly companionship. I’ll pay close attention to any and all instructions you leave behind--including home care, like managing deliveries, mail, or watering plants. And I follow up with top-notch communication, including texts and photos, so you know exactly what’s going on--and never spend a moment worrying. I have one dog, Omega, and a cat named Ubik. Omega is a Border Collie/Chocolate Lab mix. She's been with me since she was born seven years ago. Her mother, Hershey, passed away last year at 14. Ubik is a 9-year-old and indoor, long-haired calico cat. He loves being groomed, and is the definition of a "scaredy-cat"! My free time is spent enjoying the neighborhood, traveling to local beaches, and relaxing indoors with a good book or TV show. My furry kiddos are part of my family, and they tag along as often as possible. Omega and I go for lots of car rides and play at the park daily; she loves to play fetch. Caring for the homes and pets in my community is deeply fulfilling. I’ve always been passionate about animals; I’m a vegan and have supported animal-centered causes throughout my adult life. Rover has given me a wonderful opportunity to pivot my career and turn toward work that improves my own health and happiness along with the pups I look after.
