I have a 7-year-old yellow Lab named Zeke and he is the light of my life! And I have been pet walker and sitter for just about as long as Zeke and I have been buddies. I am excited about being a sitter with RoverGo because I get quality support from Rover whenever I need it so that I can focus on loving dogs and embracing their ability for unconditional love, friendship, loyalty and selflessness. Dogs really do have the ability to make us smile when we are feeling down, bring out our inner kid when we need to play and inspire us to be better. As a pet sitter, I strive to give the best care possible for our furry families when their owners are away. In addition to pups, I also have experience with cats and I gladly offer services for all feline friends as well! When I’m taking care of someone’s pet, I like to know what their favorite activities, games and toys are so that I can engage with them in a way that they love and are comfortable. I like to understand every pup’s special commands and phrases so that I can use a language that is familiar to them. I am very communicative with clients and provide frequent updates and pictures so that owners have peace of mind that their loved one is being well cared for. I am always polite, thorough and follow all owner directions and protocols. I also love to hike and take nature walks. I try to hit the trails weekly and I love to read and sketch at local coffee shops -- I always enjoy the company of a furry companion when I go!
