Dawn is great and easy to work with! She’s clearly comfortable around small and big dogs and took great care of our pups. Wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again to watch our babies!

​My first priority is always the safety and comfort of your pet. Before any booking, I gather detailed information to ensure a seamless transition and excellent care. This includes knowing their full veterinary and emergency contact information, any medical conditions, allergies, and current medications. Crucially, I also need to know their established routine (feeding times, walk schedules, potty habits), any behavioral quirks (anxiety triggers, fear of loud noises, leash reactivity), and their preference for play and affection. This allows me to perfectly match my care to their individual needs and maintain a happy, secure environment.
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.
