Pet care experience

Expert Animal Lover

Hi! I have background experience as a vet assistant and have experience working at horse stables for many years. I am not a licensed vet tech or a veterinarian, therefore I will not be able to advise of any medical advise or provide medical care. I am familiar working with many different types of animals and their different temperaments. However, proof of rabies vaccination is imperative upon meeting first. I would enjoy being able to give the best possible care to your pets. I have cats of my own and have owned dogs before so I am very familiar and able to clean litter trays, clean up the backyard after your dog, and administer medications upon request. I am unable to provide house sitting or boarding services, however walks and drop in visits I can do. I maintain a close eye on pets as well as I would my child. My child may come with me for some drop in visits in the evenings. Please let me know in advance if you have any qualms to that effect. I will utilize all of the safety features provided in your home upon request. Please make this explicitly clear and provide detailed instructions if necessary. Feel free to message me for availability!

Safety, trust & environment

While I mainly do dog walking and drop in visits, it is my responsibility to prioritize care and the safety of your pet. I am vigilant while on walks and am ready for any situation. But, the safety of your home is huge. Understand that it is extremely important to me that your home is safe whilst you are gone. Again, I will need you to make it explicitly clear, what safety precautions you have that I may utilize on your behalf.

Holly is amazing! Our cat needs medication and an inhaler and Holly did a great job giving her everything! Our cat is shy and not a fan of new people but Holly handled her with care. She went above and beyond!

I do not have any preferences regarding your pet's medical issues. However, I would like to know about any behavioral issues beforehand. I have worked with high-maintenance pets so I’m sure we can work around it.
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.
