Pet care experience

All animals,individualized care!

Bully breeds loved and welcomed! I have spent my entire life around animals; many species, many breeds, many temperaments and different environmental and social requirements. My mother was a veterinary technician and I spent my childhood and teen years helping around the vet clinic. I also grew up with horses and am very comfortable working with horses as well as other livestock. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and I have had my own dogs(all rescues) for my entire life. I currently have a black lab, a goldendoodle puppy,two cats, and an albino cornsnake. I have a special place in my heart for bully breeds; I've had and known many pitties and they are the best of the best. I'm knowledgeable about the personality traits of a variety of breeds of dogs and I'm a huge proponent of positive reinforcement and gentle training techniques for all species of animal. I am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and will work with difficult cases. I enjoy being active, whether that means a long walk, playing fetch or tug of war, or practicing obedience. I'll be happy to provide you with updates on your pet's well-being through messages and pictures. It is important to me that I get to know your pets' habits and quirks so that I can provide the best possible care and so that I can recognize any potential issues. I would also be happy to provide care for multiple animals and species at a time. I am experienced with dogs, horses, cats, reptiles, fish, and a variety of other creatures.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I try to follow my client's normal pet's and/or home schedule as closely as possible. So when housesitting I try to follow a normal wake/sleep/eat/out schedule. I time my drop in visits and walks for similar times every day and follow a similar routine. I try to work in plenty of praise, pets, exercise, and mental stimulation according to individual needs.

Donna has walked my large dog regularly for a few weeks and is always reliable and responsive. She takes extra care in the heat, she has been super helpful with Daisy!

Anything health related for sure is essential, and behavior with strangers, children, other animals, as well as any fears or particular likes. I want to know absolutely anything you think is relevant, no matter how tiny. You cannot give me enough information on your pet, and I'm happy to hear it all and reassure you that they're in good hands.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
