Pet care experience

Animals are Family too!

I've had a pet since the age of 3, and I've personally cared for my own pet(s) for 12 years. I look at animals as more than just a pet, but a member of the household who has needs and wants, just like any other person. Walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up, and sharing affection are just some of the skills that I utilize when caring for your furry companions!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At home, Sam and I walk the neighborhood a few times a day and make daily park visits in the afternoon to make sure we get enough exercise (he's a popular guy at the park!). If I'm doing a check-in, I defer to what my clients would prefer, as they know best what their furry child(ren) needs. I can do feedings, litter boxes (for cats, and with proper instructions), neighborhood walks, and outings such as a park or dog park! Does your baby have a specific quirk? Not a problem! Basically, I want to ensure that my clients (and their furry companions) are satisfied with my care, and would like a routine person they can trust.

Schedule

I'm a full-time student (at night) as well as a gig musician. I have availability in the mornings until early afternoon (3 pm) typically. My best friend and I, Samwise, walk first thing in the morning and have play time at the park in the afternoons before class or gigs. When I eat breakfast and dinner, he does as well. I incorporate his needs and play times into a routine that becomes *our* time.

It is helpful to know of any conditions, special needs, and potential feeding/medication schedules they require. It is also helpful to know if any additional supplements are given during visits, or after feeding periods.
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.
