Pet care experience

Big fan of big dogs

Clients new to Rover: ask me how to get a $40 discount on your first booking! 🐾 As a college graduate in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation as well as a longtime petsitter, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and handling. Your pet and I will be best friends before you know it—yes, even your dog that doesn’t like anyone but you! I have been on Rover since 2023 and petsat for friends and family for over a decade prior, so when you book with me you can be sure your pet is safe with somebody competent and responsible that has stood the test of years of petsitting. I specialize in nervous pets, large & XL breeds dogs, and reactive dogs, and have a gentle demeanor that eases anxious pets. I am comfortable handling strong, stubborn dogs (including my own 65lb reactive pittie), but I have a gentle touch that also makes me great with older, skittish, and special-needs pets. I am comfortable with medically complex animals and have taken care of several animals after surgeries and major medical events. I have experience with all types of pets, from extra small to extra large (including livestock!) and from little ones to seniors, which makes me well-equipped to care for any animal, including unconventional, senior, or special needs pets. I have lifelong experience with both petsitting and babysitting, so I am a natural caregiver. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also experienced with rodents, birds, reptiles, and livestock including goats and horses. Walk and drop-in clients will receive an update and photos with every visit.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Please note that I require a meet & greet before ALL first-time bookings—your pet will thank you! I am more than happy to watch pets in your home or take them for outings. While caring for your pet in your home, you can expect an update with every visit. Feel free to leave written instructions for your pet’s care—just another way to make sure your furry friend gets everything they need from me! Dog walking clients: I care about the safety of your pet, so I do not use retractable (flexi) leashes, as they are prone to breaking and causing injury. If you do not own a standard leash, I have one spare—please let me know ahead of time if I will need to bring it.

Best dog walker and pet caregiver in the history of Rover. Hailey is absolutely the best there is. My dogs adore her.

Hailey did an INCREDIBLE job with our two kitties while we were gone! She befriended them easily, spoiled them, and made sure they had everything they needed. Will definitely be using her again in the future!

Hailey was great! She walked and feed our dog while we were out of town and did all the steps needed to do it. We live in a condo so it's tricky. They took lots of photos of our dog which help us have peace of mind.

Hailey is a dedicated and very professional sitter. She took care of our older dog who recently had surgery and was very attentive. Will be rebooking her for sure.

Questions I ask all potential clients: - Is your pet nervous about people or other animals, thunderstorms, loud noises, or anything else? - Do they have any allergies, injuries, or relevant medical conditions? - Are they on any medications, including any dailies you'd like me to give and any emergency meds (allergy/anxiety/etc.) I might need to give? - Do they have any behaviors (including eating food off the ground) I should stop them from doing? - Do they like to try to escape? How good are they at it? - Are they allowed to have treats? May I provide some? - What are their favorite treats, toys, places to go, or games to play? - When applicable, how much food do they get and how often? Where can I find it? - What is their usual routine? Is the timing flexible? - Do they like to lead the walks or should I? Do they pull on the leash? Do you let them pull or correct it?
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.
