Excited to be your pet’s new bff!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of pets since I was little, whether my own Australian shepherd, Great Pyrenees, or cats, or my neighbors’; I’ve always had multiple animals in my life. I’m used to “high maintenance” breeds who may require extensive exercise, grooming, or meds, so no to-do list is too long for me. Also, I just moved here, and for the first time, don’t have any contact with animals, and I’m really missing them! So trust that any time spent with your pet is not just a task for me, but an absolute joy! I’m headed to business school in the fall, so I’m trying to take this season easy and spend my time on things I truly enjoy, hence Rover :) Which means that I’m super available for the next 8 months, but if you’re looking for someone long-term, my availability will shrink a bit come August. Lastly, if you like, I’m happy to tidy up/organize any space while pet sitting; I’m definitely one of those Southerners who thinks cleaning is a fun hobby!

Derby was amazing! My dad had a stroke the week of my trip and I was frazzled and unprepared, but Derby took everything in stride, even washing my dog’s bed when I didn’t leave a clean spare. My dogs can be anxious, but they were all relaxed and happy when I got home!

A typical day

I am a total LOVER of meeting dogs’ activity needs. I love a morning walk, midday dog park, and evening stroll routine. Fort Greene and Prospect Park are my two current favorite places for such, but I also love designing sensory experiences for pups, too (only when everyone’s really bored!). If your dog is a highly active breed, I also love to go on runs with pups!
