Pet care experience

Top Care for Dogs, Cats, & More

As a former veterinary technician and professional dog portrait photographer, I bring a unique blend of skills and experience to pet sitting. My extensive background in senior dog care ensures your elderly pets receive the special attention they need. At home, I care for a menagerie of pets, so I'm well-versed in handling various animals. What sets me apart is my deep love for all animals and my dedication to providing top-notch care. Whether you're looking for someone to play with your puppy, care for your senior dog, or tend to your cats and small animals, you can trust me to treat your pets like family.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities! With my background as a veterinary technician, I know how to create a safe and loving environment for all pets. In your home, I'll follow your specific care instructions to keep your pets feeling comfortable and secure. Whether it's giving medications, extra care for senior pets, or just lots of playtime and cuddles, I'll treat your home and pets with the same love and attention I give my own. You can count on me to provide a safe, happy, and caring environment for your furry (and not so furry) family members!

Schedule

As a self-employed professional portrait photographer, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule. This allows me to provide dedicated and personalized care for your pets. Since I don't have in-person portrait clients every day, I can seamlessly integrate pet sitting into my routine. Whether it's for a quick visit, an extended stay, or special care needs, you can count on me to be there for your furry friends. Your pets will receive the same level of attention and love that I give to my own menagerie at home.

Please share any unique personality traits, favorite comforts, known commands and signals, and special needs and preferences. I'd also love to know your pet's love language: Physical Touch: "Pet me, scratch me, rub my belly! I’m a walking snuggle machine!" Quality Time: "Let’s hang out, human! Play fetch, go for walks, or just binge-watch Animal Planet together!" Acts of Service: "Bring me snacks, fluff my bed, and scratch that spot I can’t reach. Concierge service, please!" Gifts: "New toy? Treats? Squirrel plushie? Yes, please! I’m a gift-loving goofball!" Verbal Affirmations: "Tell me I’m a good dog! Shower me with praise and silly voices. I live for the compliments!"
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.
