Pet care experience

A Friend for Your 4-Legged Family

As a life-long animal lover and someone who grew up around 4-legged friends, I know that a dog isn’t just a pet, it’s a member of the family. Leaving them with a virtual stranger takes great trust, and I will do everything I can to earn and keep that trust. I've gone on hundreds of walks with dozens of different dogs, all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Some walks I take are on-call with a dog I've never met, others are dogs I've gotten to know and love over a period of time. I can handle either just fine. My availability runs from late morning to night time. As a night owl, I have no problem taking a dog for a last-minute walk at 10 o'clock at night. I don't have any days that are off-limits to walks, as long as multiple walks don't interfere with one another. And if you want me to take your dog to the dog park, even better! I get to be around even more dogs! I also am very serious about keeping my vaccinations up to date, including COVID and flu shots.

Safety, trust & environment

Whatever the client does to care for their pet, I try to replicate. And if I feel like I can’t provide the same care, I’m honest about that up front. Sometimes I’m not the right fit for a job, and that’s ok! I’d rather the pet get the best care even if it’s not from me.

This is my second time having Emily take care of my cats. They take some time to warm up to strangers but are definitely getting more used to her! Emily provided plenty of updates and takes great care of my pets.

What commands does your dog respond to? Are they reactive around anything (people, bikes, other dogs)? Does your dog have a favorite route? How much “business” do they typically do? Do they have any special needs when walking?
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.
