Pet care experience

I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :)

Helen and Chris and their young son were great watching Charlie. Sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell Charlie had a blast. Would not hesitate to rebook.

Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!

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.
