Pet care experience

Longing for fur on my clothes!!!

Love all animals, as soon as I turned 17 I had pets nonstop! Everyone would bring neglected, abandoned animals to me, knowing I would never turn any away. My favorite pet ever was my Great Pyrenees - Bumble. When my kids were young I was a nanny, pet sat for those families and my friends and family. I love animals so much that I spent years doing allergy shots for cat allergies, and now can have my own cats! I enjoyed many pets over the years, cats, dogs, bunnies, small mammals, reptiles, even a beautiful painted turtle. Happy to take care of any species. My husband and I try to provide the same care for your furry children that you do. We both believe in positive reinforcement and do not think there is any such thing as a bad animal. I work outside the home but partner with my husband. He is also a Rover sitter who does fulltime pet sitting. Between the two of us we can provide midday breaks to any pets when we are on a house stay but we do require they can be alone at least 4-6 hours. We do not offer constant care. We are Bonded and Insured for your additional assurance.

Wonderful care for our old and sometimes finicky kitty, Ollie. He came right out for them each time they visited. He hasn't done that for new people in years!

I love all animals, have had all breeds of dogs: mixed breeds and pure breeds from my smallest, a beagle, to my largest, a Great Pyrenees. I have had several pets with special needs and want to know exactly what your pet needs.
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.
