Paws to enjoy the good life here

Having pets myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your beloved companions. I remember taking my own dogs to kennels and feeling as if they spent most of their time waiting for me to return. When I discovered Rover, I loved the idea that pet parents could find a caring, home-based alternative—either at a sitter’s home or in their own familiar environment. As a Rover sitter, I care for pets and homes exactly as I hope someone would care for mine. I have an established clientele of pups I care for in my home (since 2019) and have recently begun to enjoy in-home sitting as well, bringing the same dedication and attention to detail your pet deserves in their own home. I am a very clean person, respectful of your space, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, always seeking detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s needs and routines are thoroughly met. I’m also excited to share that I am now offering dog walking services and drop-in visits, providing pups with daily exercise, stimulation, and companionship—perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to stay happy and healthy even on their busiest days.

Carol is so great with our dogs. She is reliable and easy to communicate with. We are so happy to have her help when we have to leave our dogs behind.

Schedule

I work full-time 100% remote so I have the flexibility to care for your pets while I am working. I do like to head home for a few hours a day if house sitting to be with my family. My husband cares for our pups who are visiting and our own, if I'm away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can follow their usual routines, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, while ensuring they have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s familiar surroundings, adhere closely to the owner’s instructions on diet, medication, and daily habits, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. Whether at my place or the client’s, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness by giving them attentive, loving care tailored to their needs.

Pets

A typical day

When watching pets, I engage them in fun activities suited to their personality and energy levels, such as interactive play with toys, fetch, gentle walks or runs, and brain games like treat puzzles if available. For more relaxed pets, I offer cozy cuddle time, petting sessions, and quiet companionship. I also tailor activities to their favorite pastimes, whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, exploring the outdoors, or simply lounging in the sun together. My goal is to keep pets entertained, stimulated, and happy while they’re in my care.

When caring for your pets, it’s important for me to know their name, breed, age, and health status, along with specific details about their diet, food schedule, and any allergies or medications. Understanding their daily routines for feeding, exercise, bathroom needs, and sleep, as well as their temperament, training commands, fears, and how they interact with people and other animals is extremely helpful. I also like to be aaware of safety considerations such as escape risks, house rules, and whether they are microchipped or wear an ID. As well as vet and emergency contacts, and instructions for any unusual situations. Having this information helps me ensures the pet stays safe, healthy, and comfortable while in your care.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
