Set on making your dog's day better

UPDATED May 2026: Full-time Dog caretaker, looking to add additional clients at this time. Specifically for regular walks or regular drop-in visits. House-sits will be considered, but limited outside of clients I already work with. *Happy to accept one-time requests as well!* About me: I took care of my dog, Macie (in profile picture), since I was 11 years old. We were both "pups" when we rescued her and truly grew up together. Macie was a medium sized boxer-beagle mix that was a ball of energy. Made for fun times and sometimes a steep learning curve. She was a quick learner though and it made me a better teacher. I have also been a dog-sitter for neighborhood dogs, including two larger juvenile brothers. And finally, I developed a special-bond with my sister's dog, Rory. Rory unfortunately had a very rough start to life, which left her completely terrified of the world around her. She needed a gentle touch (figuratively, because she wouldn't literally let anyone touch her). Slowly but surely she wouldn't run away when you came nearby and she started to open up to the idea of giving this world a second chance. She is now a happy teenager! All of that is to say, I understand that all dogs with their own care needs and personalities and I love the process of figuring out how to make each individual's day better.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to visit your home and walk around the surrounding areas. If given permission, we can expand that range to car-rides and local trails as well. I am extremely attentive and my top priority is keeping your dog safe. With that being the case, the only thing I will feed your dog is food you provide or treats you approve. (Unfortunately I can't bring dogs to my home or I would risk losing a security deposit)

Please let me know ahead of time how your dog interacts with strangers as well as other dogs. This will help me understand what approach to take if I am greeting them for the first time. If we are going for a walk, it will also give me a sense of the right location to bring them to stimulate them or avoid areas where other dogs may be walking. Also let me know about treats! If you have treats for them, how many treats should be the limit, etc. As mentioned in my safety bio, I won't give dogs any unapproved food items by the owners.
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.
