Who best to know how to care for your animal than you! That's why I require an initial meet and greet with you and your animal(s) to allow me to see and hear how you interact with your animal, commands they know, signals, their leash training, temperament, etc. Also, it allows the animal a chance to meet me with you (their safe person) around. I will also send you a short form to fill out with necessary details like care instructions, emergency contacts, vet and immunization information, etc.

A typical day

Hanging out with animals has always been something I've loved. Whether you have a bird that loves to bop to music with me, or a cat who goes nuts for a laser pointer, I'm happy to enrich your animals during my visit. This includes livestock! I often sing to the flocks of chickens I care for, I've thrown around a ball with a donkey or two, I love giving goat scritches, and though I am happy to take your horse for a walk on the lead, I do not ride at this time.

Pet care experience

I am a certified Veterinary Assistant and have my Associates degree in Animal Science. I have worked with animals on and off for 15 years and have owned and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. ~I work in all weather conditions so long as I can travel safely ~I am comfortable with all dog breeds as well as: Cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, other small animals, chickens, goats, horses, fish, and more!! Just ask! I am an active person so I will enjoy walking and playing with your animals and I don't mind necessary farm chores or clean up duty. I care for each animal as if it’s my own and that includes notifying you if I feel there are any health or safety concerns for your animals that need to be addressed. As a trained, educated, and certified animal professional I have an obligation to the animal first.

C.j. Was extremely sweet. She sent me constant updates and photos. Her set up was exactly what we needed for our boy who didn’t have much experience with other animals. She was very easy to work with and also very thoughtful and considerate. She even went out and bought him a jacket when he seemed to be having issues adjusting to the cold. Would absolutely book with her again!

C.J. was fantastic with our dog Milo! You can tell she is a true animal lover and is very interested in getting to know your pet and their likes and dislikes. I received frequent updates/pictures notifying me of how he was settling in and this made relaxing on vacation so much easier. She treated my dog just like he was part of her family and that was comforting. She was easy to communicate with and replied to me almost immediately. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services.

C.J is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog several times, both at my house and also at her house, and he loves her! She's attentive, sweet, and reliable and obviously an animal lover! You will never regret asking CJ to watch your animals! She is my go-to for any animal care I may need!

C.J. was amazing with my dogs. She sent photos showing my two having a ball, and made me feel completely at ease with being away from them. Cannot recommend her enough!

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.
