Safety, trust & environment

My golden rule is to treat every pet as if it were my own and to provide the best quality care and attention I can. I will make sure to keep you in the loop when you’re out and about. Every dog is different so whether it’s a walk every once in a while or a regular routine, I will do my best to work with them and build a relationship best suited towards their needs.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

It is important to be open and honest about your pets personalities and/or health conditions if any. The first time I work with your pet I'd like to know what to expect and what you expect of me. Is your pet people and pet friendly, or are there are any things you know of we should avoid that’d make them uncomfortable? I want to know the daily routine your pet is used to as well for things like the time they eat, when we should go outside, and how you deal with good or bad behavior.

A typical day

A typical day of fun for your pets would be full of activities and entertainment. We can go on an easy walk around the neighborhood or a nice hike at one of my favorite trails. It's good to let me know your pet's preferences in advance for when I come to visit !

Pet care experience

I believe every pet deserves to receive the very best service! I have years of experience with the responsibilities of caring for pets and working with animals. I am continuing my education and hoping to be a service animal trainer someday. I grew up caring for my beloved dog (15.5 years), and recently rescued a cat! I pride myself on being a helpful resource for my clients pet care needs. I am passionate about animals, I value building relationships with pets and their parents, and would love the opportunity to help you with your pet care needs. I hope to talk to you 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.
