Former Vet Technician loves pets!

Pet care experience

I can come by, walk dogs, feed cats, take care of litter boxes, or anything else your pet(s) may need including administering medicine! I am happy to stay at your home or just visit and send pictures via text. I have taken care of a few kitties in the DMV over the past years and would love to take care of more clients. I can probably get you referrals if you would like them. Thanks :). Please note I work full-time, if your dog is used to this then I’m a good fit. I do give your pet the full attention when I am there and I always send pictures and will communicate what is going on with your pet. I love spending time with them. Note I just moved back to Silver Spring but will travel back to Virgina for my repeat clients for house sitting. Note if you are a new client, I prefer a meet and greet at least a week before your trip.

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.
