Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals, growing up with dogs, cats, and reptiles! Being outdoors and staying active is something I truly enjoy. I try to keep a positive attitude and strive to be diligent and respectful in everything I do. Plus, I’ve had some experience administering medication to my pets in the past.

Heidi did a great job helping with Mojito while I was out of town! Was very friendly and flexible with walking times.

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.
