*PAUSING SERVICES*

I am currently taking on new employment that may conflict with my sitter services so am pressing pause until I can further assess the impact and decide if I can continue or not. I am honoring all completed, booked requests. I love dogs and am comfortable with every age, size and breed. I make sure every furbaby is well-cared for and comfortable. Giving medicine is not a problem. Pups have the option of a large yard (half acre) to run around and play or just relax inside on a comfy bed, listening to the radio or TV. I will love on them, pet them and talk to them. I work from home so extra anxious pups can lay on a comfy futon with me in my office. If your pup is social they will have other dogs to play with. If your dogs prefers to be solo, he or she can have a private room with their own bed. There is also a pool if your dog likes to swim. Your dog will always be supervised in the pool area and yard and never left alone. I don't have children who live with me, but will occasionally visit. They are well-experienced around the dogs. General preferences: drop off and pick ups between 10am-7pm but requests can be made outside of that. Please arrange drop off and pick up ahead of time and be punctual. Food should be brought for boarding and long day visits. Let's have fun!

Our Bailey is now an older girl, but Cathy has been watching her when we travel for more than seven years. Bailey is always happy to stay with Cathy and does well with Cathy's dogs. Bailey always comes home happy and also is very affectionate with Cathy. What a wonderful puppy environment.

Cathy is always the perfect sitter with Bailey. She has about three dogs of her own who love having mine come visit. Bailey never seems the least bit nervous to be there and she normally is more of a loner. She loves being around Cathy’s dogs though and is always happy there.

Bailey always has a great time with Cathy when we leave her there. Last time she didn't even wait for us to leave - she just went exploring in the yard. There was no separation anxiety at all (not that there ever is at Cathy's). Bailey is always excited to see the other dogs and play there.

Cathy is the best! Our dogs love when she pet sits them! She’s got a large yard for them to run around and play in and she gives them lots of love and cuddles. She is simply the best there is!

Awesome sitting as usual. Bailey settled in well with Cathy’s other four-legged crew. Of course when she came home she had to get used to not being allowed to sleep on the bed. Cathy spoils her rotten and Bailey loves it. Thank you!😊

I will not be able to book any additional requests. Once I begin the new employment, I will need to assess if being a sitter could still be an option and will update by Spring.

It's helpful to know if your pup has separation anxiety, or has a history of chewing. For boys, if they tend to "mark their territory."
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.
