Pet care experience

After being a professional in the dog care industry for 3 years, I have truly found my calling. I am currently a full time student pursuing a career as a Veterinary Technician! I have a special passion for taking care of senior/special needs dogs as I have a diabetic senior dog myself. Because of this, I am well equipped to administer medications of all sorts, as well as specialized diets. I have a high attention to detail for feeding/medication instructions as well as behavioral concerns. Dog body language is something that I am very familiar with and comfortable deescalating if need be! Whether you have a couch potato or a high energy pup, I am happy to accommodate and make sure they have the best time by providing my best care towards them.

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.
