Safe, Snuggly& Stress-Free Pet Care

Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of experience from puppy stage to seniors, and medically involved dogs. I’ve trained and cared for many dogs of my own as well as others so I know how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. For dog sitting, I can guarantee multiple walks a day, all the love, attention and play time your pup needs. Please let me know if your dog should be crated if I need to leave the house or if they are okay to free roam!

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.
