Highlights
Pet care experience
High quality care! Pets are family
About me: I've taken care of my own pets ever since I was a child. I have had pets since I was born! I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, and more that I helped to care for. As a kid, I showed my dog and won awards, such as showmanship. I was also in horse riding competitions where I won awards. I also grew up with a veterinarian technician in the home. I have volunteered at animal shelters, including walking dogs. I love to sit for my special needs and elderly pets <3! I give them the extra care and attention they deserve! I take my sitting services very seriously, and go above and beyond the care of an average sitter. As a cat mom myself, I know that cats need affection and playtime too! I am attentive to each individual cat's personality and give them the love (or space) that they need. The meet-and-greet for new clients is mandatory for new clients (as it is for all Rover sitters). This is important so that you can meet me, show me where things are and your pet's routine, and to make sure your pet and I are a good fit. NOTE: Rover noted on here that I canceled a booking 1 day before it was supposed to start, but I want to clarify that it was a one-time occurrence and was due to an emergency. I have sat for many people many times, but unfortunate circumstances cannot be helped. That is life. I've never had to cancel all the other bookings I've had, so I don't want people to be deterred by that.

Safety, trust & environment
I love playing with cats and dogs, so your pet definitely won't be starved of attention! They will get all the love and care they need and more! I'm a responsible older adult who has raised a child and animals throughout my life.

Schedule
I work from home, so I can often be flexible with times to come care for your dog/cat and give walks. I am fit and can give energetic dogs the walking and playtime they need. I also know that cats need playtime too, as I have cats myself!
