Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, routines, or preferences your pet has — for example, dietary restrictions, medications, favorite toys, or any behaviors to be aware of (like fear of loud noises, pulling on the leash, or not getting along with other dogs). The more information the better - thank you!!

A typical day

Depending on their energy level, we can go for long walks, or a run if they’re comfortable running on a leash. I also enjoy playing with toys indoors and outdoors — whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or just keeping them engaged and having fun. Whatever your pet enjoys most, I will make sure they have a great time!

Reliable, loving pet care!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up around pets and have spent years walking and pet-sitting for friends and family. My family currently has an 8-year-old lab mix, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Now that I’ve moved away from home, I’m looking to spend more time with animals and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own dog. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just company and cuddles, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!

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.
