Teacher Turned Trusted Pet Sitter
Hi! I’m new to Rover and would love the opportunity to earn your trust and care for your furry family members. If you’re looking for someone dependable, loving, and experienced with dogs of all ages and personalities, I’d be honored if you’d book with me and help me get started on Rover! I have found a passion for being kind and loving to every dog I meet. I’ve noticed I’m naturally great at bonding with dogs and gently helping with training. What better way to fill my cup than by spending time with animals while helping people feel confident their pets are truly cared for? I currently have two dogs: JT, a Jack Russell Beagle mix, and Miss Kahlani Ann, a 3 year old Rat Terrier Corgi mix. I adopted JT when he was 5 years old and have helped him adjust to stairs, car rides, and a daily routine that includes dog park visits. Kahlani Ann keeps life fun with her playful personality and energy. Before them, I shared 10 incredible years with Stewart, my soul dog, who joined me for road trips, everyday life, and miles of running together. Stewart shaped not only my love for animals but how I love them: deeply, patiently, and fully present. I also had a dog named Hoagie for 17 years. He sparked my lifelong love for dogs and taught me just how special the bond between people and pets can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing gentler attention. As a teacher, I bring calm energy, structure, and clear communication to every interaction. Whether your dog needs exercise, affection, or quiet companionship, I treat each pet like they’re my own. I truly understand the emotions that come with leaving your dog because pets are family. I’ll always go above and beyond to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for mine. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to gate locks — and take time to learn your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I do love to be outside and play with our pups if they won't leash walk as well. We will spend the time together! I make sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and that your pet is never rushed or overwhelmed. I build trust by being consistent, calm, and communicative. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in, I always take time to greet your pet with warmth and patience so they feel safe while you're away. I also send updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive, low-stress experience — one where your pet feels loved, and you feel peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
If there’s anyone I’d trust with my dog, it’s my mom. She treats her dogs like second children, they are truly part of the family. She’s incredibly caring, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s going for a run, playing fetch in the yard, or just snuggling up on the couch, she puts her heart into every moment. I’ve seen firsthand how much joy it brings her to spend time with animals, and I know she’d treat any dog she cares for with the same love and attention she gives her own. Any pup would be lucky to stay with her!

Schedule
I’m currently off for the summer, which means I have full availability for pet care — especially daytime walks and drop-in visits. This is the perfect time for me to give your pet consistent attention, playtime, and companionship while I build a strong routine with these services. As I build my Rover presence, I’m offering discounted rates for my first few clients. Just reach out and let’s chat! As the school year begins, I’ll continue to offer evening and weekend availability, along with care during school holidays. I'm currently focusing on getting drop-in visits and walks running smoothly and will always do my best to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule.
