Mom who loves pets

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Growing up, we had fish and birds as well. In college, I had a goldfish and an African frog in my room. As an adult, I’ve had dogs, cats, parakeets and fish. My best friend and I pet sit for each other, but I have also taken care of cats, dogs, birds and Guinea pigs for other people. I have given medications to cats and dogs.

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.
