Information Colleen C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Bring your pets favorite items like their bed, toys, food, bones and treats.

A typical day

Your pet will get lots of exercise (appropriate amounts based on their age/ability) and will play fetch or whatever toys they are into. They can also lounge on the sofa facing our big front window to look out for anything that moves, dogs, people, squirrels, and deer! We live near Swift Creek Reservoir so I like to go for walks around the lake.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays.

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.
