Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I prioritize time for dog walks, feedings, and play sessions to ensure that every pet under my care receives the attention and exercise they need. I schedule my tasks and activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that I am available for regular check-ins and any special needs the pets may have. This consistent routine allows me to provide reliable and attentive care, making sure that every pet feels loved and looked after.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being while maintaining the integrity of the home environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the client, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. I ensure that pets are engaged and happy through playtime, walks, and positive interaction. I also make sure to keep the home clean and secure, respecting the client’s property by cleaning up after the pets and ensuring all areas are left as I found them. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.

Information D.J. P. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any triggers of which I should be aware? I am able to manage most any breed so long as they do not have a history of unexplained aggression.

A typical day

When watching pets, I engage them in a range of fun activities to keep them happy and healthy. For dogs, I organize walks, runs, and playtime at local parks to ensure they get plenty of exercise. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug-of-war, and teaching them new tricks to keep their minds active. For cats, I provide interactive play sessions with toys, laser pointers, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I also make sure to tailor activities to each pet’s unique preferences and energy levels, ensuring they feel comfortable and entertained. My goal is to create a fun and stimulating environment where pets can thrive and enjoy their time while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals, but wasn't until I fostered a pit bull for a friend for a couple months did I consider turning that love into a business. Upon finishing the foster-stint, I quickly applied to work for Rover and have been walking ever since. I grew up with animals all around me while growing up on a farm in Iowa. Doing so allowed for me to learn to respect all creatures and their unique personalities and needs. I tell everyone that no one could ask for a better customer than that of a dog. Always happy to see you and appreciative of your time, presence, and efforts. I love what I do, and look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s) soon!

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.
