I am currently working a M-F 9am-5pm ready to get more exposure to dogs and cats in the city. I am a morning person, but love to go out at night if needed. I enjoy long walks along the lake and can provide walking services for more energetic dogs along the lake.

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to provide care with cats and dogs in my home due to my new cat. However, once I know my cat can handle other cats, I am happy to care for them in my home. For my client's home, it would depend how they would like me to care for their pet.

Information Janet Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets age, energy level, any special needs, preference for walks, dietary restrictions, and human foods they can have if healthy for them.

A typical day

Some fun activities I will do are (but not limited to) walk around the lake, take them along walking trails, dog parks nearby, play fetch, and take them for a puppacino (with owner consent).

Super reliable, I feel so comfortable when she walks my dog while I’m working. There was a glitch in the Rover app and it was not giving updates on the walk. She continued to stay in communication and send photos so I knew that my dog was being cared for!

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.
