Ltd availability- weekends only!

Hi friends, please note that I am now only available weekends for short-term bookings. Perfect for a weekend trip out of town! (Can do Fri night, can’t do Mon morning.) 🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️ Throughout my life, I've had dogs, cats, a rabbit and rodents for pets. I have cared for dogs and cats closely through every stage of their lives. Puppy-hood, post-op, and senior care. I have a lot of experience, patience and compassion for animals. WARNING: YOUR PET MAY GET SPOILED ROTTEN :) Please be aware, my travel radius is 4 miles. For short-term bookings I may travel further, and may assess a reasonable fee depending on distance that I would first discuss with you.

Emma was awesome and was totally flexible with scheduling. She shocked us by offering to pick up our Westie at the Clearwater Beach resort so that we could just enjoy a much needed mini vaca. Daisy took to her immediately and was tail wagging from the start! Very happy!!

We just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all of the help you gave us on our wedding day. Having you there to take care of Truman during our photography session made all the difference — we were able to fully enjoy those moments knowing our pup was in such good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a walk-aholic and love to take my time and smell the roses along my walk... or for a dog, stopping to smell every mailbox, patch of grass, passing dog, etc.. In my dog's old age I realized how important all those little curiosities are for them and decided to never cut a dog's sniff-time short haha! I have a large fenced backyard and I love trips to the dog park.

Before sitting your dog, I’d like to meet with them and you so we can establish a connection and be clear on all the dog’s wants, needs and limitations. I have an extra soft spot for boxers and pit bulls, since my dog was a boxer and my doggie nephew was a pit bull. But all dogs have a place in my heart and bring me joy.
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.
