Pet care experience

✨ Trusted care with extra love ✨

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud parent to Simon (cat) and Frankie (dog) who are at the center of my universe. Over the years, I’ve happily provided house sitting, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for friends, caring for all kinds of personalities, from velcro-snuggly cuddle bugs to shy sweethearts who take their time warming up and steal your heart quietly. I focus on creating a safe space for owners and pets alike, a calm, loving environment where anxious paws can settle. I meet them exactly where they are so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Frankie Valli and I take frequent walks around the neighborhood, he has his own bed and space. Simon is the king of the castle, he has plenty of space to play and stretch his legs.My top priority is making sure my two boys are safe and they live in a stress-free home. I will always prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment in every home I care for. Whether I’m watching pets in my client’s home or stopping by for check-ins, I follow their routine closely to keep things familiar and comforting.

There isn’t enough praise in the world for Chelsea and her care for my grumpy but lovable cat. During an unexpected heat wave she went above and beyond to keep her safe and reassure me all is well. Chelsea is simply the best.

Chelsea yet again comes through with grumpy Minerva gifting us sweet images and the freedom to know she is in good hands. We had forgotten to refill a supplement before our trip, but Chelsea remembered and asked. She is so thoughtful and organized and patient with our elderly cat. 💕

It’s important for me to know a bit about your pets ahead of time so I can make their experience as happy, safe, and comfortable as possible. Things like favorite treats, playtime preferences, energy levels, quirks, and routines. I believe in being available for my clients at all times, before and definitely during their booking.
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.
