Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I always make time for walks and pet visits, both on weekdays and weekends. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I often plan my days around it. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me — it’s a relaxing and rewarding part of my routine.

When I care for pets, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper meals, playtime, and enough outdoor time if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they need extra energy, gentle patience, or quiet company. If needed I will keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and cared for.

Empathy Energy & Endless Belly Rubs

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from cats, dogs, and birds to cows and farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to truly understand their behavior and emotions. Animals naturally trust me, and I build a calm, safe connection with every pet I meet. I also have experience caring for senior pets and helping shy animals feel comfortable. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving love, your pet will feel at home with me.

I have interviewed a lot of dog sitters over the years, Ion was the first one that brought treats for the dogs, you would think that is obvious, it is not. He asked a lot of questions, interacted with the dogs, wanted to play with them right away. My dog is 12, she has some issues and kind of a 'high maintenance' dog with supplements and some mobility issues. He was fine with it, read all my instructions, followed them, sent me pictures in the morning and evening with updates. When Keena was being picky, as she does sometimes, he asked and we got it figured out. I am usually pretty nervous with a new sitter, have had some nightmare situations, with Ion, I wasn't stressed, which is rare. When I travel again, I will reach out to him as my first choice and recommend to others to take care of their loved doggos

Ion took such great care of our dog Eevie and gave great updates! She can be kind of a nervous dog but she got comfortable with him right away. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Ion!

This is our second time working with Ion who watched our 74lb Boxer while we were out of town. He is great as always, very thoughtful and attentive to our pup and we won’t hesitate to work with him again in the future!

Ion was great with our pooches! Brought treats when her came to meet them and I could tell he knew how to work with them to decrease their anxiety. Thanks! Will definitely call on him again!!

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.
