Pet care experience

I'll treat your furbaby like my own

I'm a lifelong animal lover who has taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. When my pooch passed, I fostered dogs with disabilities and behavioral concerns through my local animal shelter. I have a fondness for rescues but love all dogs, no matter their breed or size.

Janice was great! She took wonderful care of our Lady bug, sent many pictures and videos and kept us updated! When we use Rover again, Jan will be our number 1 choice. She’s very kind and thoughtful, 10/10 would recommend her services!

Janice provided excellent and loving care for our cat, Lolli, as she didn’t want to leave during pick up. Nothing but five stars for her!!! I highly recommend Janice’s services as she’s at the top of my list for recommended sitters.

Janice was excellent. I’m a longtime Rover parent and I can say that she’s a future star sitter. She sent lots of pictures, communicated easily, and my little guy seemed so happy and content. Don’t hesitate to book her.

Let me know if there are any special considerations I should be aware of and I will try my best to accommodate. My preference is for dogs that are under 45 lbs (I'm not a big person so I'm mindful of size for everyone's safety!), but willing to work with larger dogs that aren't reactive on 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.
