Pet care experience

Extensive animal care experience

I started house sitting for neighbor's pets when I was a child and began volunteering at an animal shelter when I was 15. I went on to be employed at the Dearborn Animal Shelter as an adult where I gained important experience in caring for several animals with different needs at once. I have volunteered at two other shelters since then. I have extensive animal care experience from pet sitting, working at animal shelters, fostering animals, and my undergraduate degree in animal science. I currently work full time Monday - Friday, but I am available for drop-in visits before 8am, at noon, and after 5pm on weekdays. I am available during most times of the day on weekends for drop-in visits. For walks, I am available before 8am and after 5pm on weekdays and most times of the day on weekends.

Gigi took good care of our cat, going above and beyond to make sure he was looked after well. We will gladly book with her again!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or accommodations. I have experience with administering both oral medication and injectable medication or treatments. Also include how many times a day your pet is fed and how much. Let me know if your pet has any food or resource guarding and if they are crated while no one is home.
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.
