Reliable pet care you can trust

Pet care experience

I’ve worked with animals all my life, from their learning years to their golden years as seniors. I have worked with clicker/positive reinforcement training, which I am happy to work on with your dog as well. I have also previously owned or cared for fish, birds, even a hedgehog. I even cared for someone’s goat for a while! I have a passion for animals and enjoy training, playing with, and just getting to know your four-legged friends. Note that with dog sitting, I will stay at overnight at your place if that’s needed, but I have to leave throughout the day for other walks/visits from 6am-3pm depending on clients I have booked. I won’t leave your pet alone for more than 4 hours and your dog will get 3 walks a day while I sit them.

Continues to be a great choice to watch our dog while we are out of town! I’m glad that I can finally relax on a getaway instead of worrying every second about my puppy!!

James did an amazing job! I could see Angel was very happy to have someone visit and give her the meds. Love the pictures. Will definitely recommend for next time.

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.
