Pet care experience

Passionate animal lover & advocate

I have experience watching dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 15 (also parakeets and even a chicken)! I provided care to animals of all sizes when I worked at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary for 2 years as an animal caregiving intern. I have also volunteered at animal shelters like Sean Casey Animal Rescue walking dogs.

Let me know if your dog is reactive/how they are around other dogs and humans. What type of personality does your pet have (shy, outgoing, etc.)? Does your dog pull? Is your dog prone to eating trash and other stuff off the street? Do they have any specific quirks or needs I can accommodate?
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.
