Pet care experience

Experienced, friendly, and reliable

I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, I have been taking care of pets on Rover for the last five years and I truly love it. I previously walked and took care of a variety of pets for roughly 5 years before I joined Rover. I enjoy meeting all different sorts of dogs and playing with them. I have experience with elderly, disabled and special needs dogs. I have dealt in depth with dogs that have epilepsy, in fact, I have three dogs of my own that have seizures. Should the need arise I can dispense medication and go the extra mile for a dog with special requirements. I also have experience dealing with mild to severely aggressive dogs as well as generally unruly or excitable dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, shapes, personalities and breeds! I don't only care for dogs, though, I also care for cats as well as other small household pets! Through out my entire life I have yet to live without at least one cat in my home, and just like with dogs I take great pride in being able to care for any cat, whether they be disabled, elderly or have special needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I do not board dogs, all of my experiences will be in your home. Your pups will be free to roam around and play where ever they are allowed, and only crated for any brief times I might have to leave if a crate is needed.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Elvis again. You're amazing so I could relax while we were away knowing he was in excellent hands.

We’ve used Doris many times over the last couple of years and our pups are always happy! She does dog walking once a week and in house sitting for us when we go on vacation.

Doris always does a great job. She shows up and reports in and sends me cute pictures that help me cope with leaving my pets behind. I know that I can depend on Doris when I go away.

Doris was very punctual and the cats seemed very happy upon my return! Everything was kept tidy and feeding instructions were carried out in good order.

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Doris can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
I would like a forewarning about any dogs that are even mildly human or other dog aggressive, whether it be food guarding, resource (toy) guarding, etc. It won’t stop me from dog sitting or walking them, but it will allow me to take certain precautions so that neither I or the dog are put in a situation that might cause anxiety or stress.
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.
