Safety, trust & environment

If I am caring for my client's pet in their home, I will ask the pet owner if there is a specific schedule that they would like me to follow as well as some emergency contact information and the pet's carrier (for any emergencies). Generally speaking, this is how I would care for the pet, not necessarily in this specific order: 1) I will make sure that there are no harmful objects within the pet's reach; 2) Provide food and water; 3) Play with them; 4) Administer medication, if needed; 5) groom/bathe.

Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet

Specific information that would be helpful includes: knowing if your pet takes any specific medications, if it has any allergies, feeding instructions, and veterinarian’s contact information (in case an emergency were to arise and the client is not reachable).

A typical day

The doggo(s) and I will doing lots of fun activities (frisbee, catch, tug a war, etc.) in the nearby parks and walking and exploring the neighborhood together. With the kitties, we'll play with soft plushies, ribbon toys, and go on walks around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I've loved dogs and cats since I was a child and I've had numerous experiences with them-both in a professional and personal setting. Since many of my family members and friends are dog and cat owners, I've helped with walking, feeding, bathing, grooming, and playing with newborns to more older and larger ones. I've also volunteered in pet shelters and sometimes we would nurse very sick doggos and kitties back to health or we would bring them out for walks and ensure that they were healthy and ready for adoption.

So thankful for Grace coming in clutch after an emergency at home and needing her services to relieve some stress. Would recommend ?, not only is her communication on point but her willingness to be there for you, as you would for your own furbabies, is what any dog parent needs. Thank you again Grace. Looking forward to any future doggy needs with you. Got some trips coming up, we will discuss soon. ?

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.
