Pet Sitter for Dogs & Cats

I’ve been pet sitting for the last 16 years, starting with checking in on my neighbors’ pets and later house sitting for family friends. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of various ages including puppies and seniors.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a tidy, detail oriented person. I always make sure to leave things at least as clean as I found them and put everything including your pets back where they belong. I have my own car for transportation. I’m happy to re-enforce any rules/training if you go over what you are working on.

Iris was great. She stayed with our high energy doodle and took great care of him. Lots of photos, did everything we asked, and left our apartment spotless. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Iris is an exceptional house sitter and pet sitter. My “slow to trust” cat was so comfortable with Iris he did not hide from her! Our dog loves all the attention and play time he gets while Iris is with him.

Iris did a great job caring for our dog and our home while we were away for 10 days. She consistently sent updates and photos and followed all my instructions. I would absolutely use her again. (Note: I work for Rover)

Iris was a great sitter! She arrived on time and stayed as we had needed her. We appreciated her communication updates and photos. Her care attention for our senior whippets gave us such peace of mind.

Schedule

I currently work freelance as a 3D artist. Since I set my own hours and work from home, it allows me to be super flexible and work around your pet’s schedule.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Iris can host up to 4 walks per day
Ahead of time some of the questions I like to ask are: -Does your pet have any medical conditions or physical limitations I should be aware of? -Is there anything your pet does not enjoy doing? -Does your pet have any quirks? - How is your pet with strangers? -If it’s a dog, how does your dog do with encountering other dogs, people, and animals while on a leash?
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.
