An animal-lover, dog-rescuer

Pet care experience

Over the years on Rover, I've had the pleasure of working with many dogs, cats, and some small mammals in NYC. In addition to my pet sitting experience, I have personally rescued two dogs in Taiwan. Our family dog, Malu, was rescued in 2010 and passed away in 2018. I also rescued another miniature schnauzer in 2014 named Sherlock, who now lives a happy life in the countryside. I believe that every animal has a unique personality, and I strive to capture their essence through my lens. That says, I always provide many photos for each visit!

Safety, trust & environment

I aim to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine for pets at your home. I am detail-oriented and always follow care instructions thoughtfully. I utilize Rover card to include detailed updates and pictures. In case of emergencies, I would first text and then call your Rover number. I also understand that home security is a concern while you are away, so I always follow specific instructions for each home, e.g. locking doors and setting alarms.

Information Hilary S. would like to know about your pet

Daily routine: - When s/he is used to eat, going on walks - If s/he takes medicine, when is the time to feed During walks: - Is s/he friendly to children, other dogs - Sensitive to the surrounding environment? i.e. some dogs get very excited when they see/hear balls. - How long would be suitable for a walk? Anything else you think I should know. I can adjust according to what your fluffy friends need!

A typical day

I will do whatever he/she is used to. I love the fact that they have their own personalities. It is always exciting for me to learn about each dog!
