Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is different, I want to care for your pet in the same way you would. If they need extra time outside, if they need to be crated at night, or any other special care, I will provide.

Information August D. would like to know about your pet

What is their temperament? Especially with people and pets they don't know? Do I have to do anything special while walking your dog? (such as training enforcement or avoiding other pets)

A typical day

Almost every pet has a routine, I would love nothing more than to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking with that routine.

Experienced Pet Sitter new to Rover

Pet care experience

I worked at Paws at Play resort and daycare for three years. During my time there I was trained to administer medicine to dogs and cats. I can give topical and oral medicines, as well as sub-q injections such as insulin. I am more than happy to care for a pet that needs extra medical care at home. I have worked with a wide range of dog breeds and have been trained in fear-free handling techniques for both dogs and cats. I have also been pet sitting consistently alongside my daycare job since 2023.

August is amazing with my girl Reese on weekly walks. August is knowledgable, trustworthy and reliable. Reese is always looking forward to her walk with August! She knows they’re always caring, kind and gentle with her. I would highly recommend August to anyone needing pet care.

It's great having August on board as a regular play buddy and caretaker for my dachshund, Leonard! I always feel confident that he is in good, capable hands.

August checked in on Zuki for me and my partner while we were out of town and he did amazing ! He treated Zuki as if she were his own and was very thorough with the check in. August is our new kitty sitter from now on! (:

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.
