Please inform me of any intricacies needs or special needs you feel is necessary. I’m excited to learn about and provide an exciting experience for your pet and their visit.

A typical day

First I’m sure they will want to sniff every square inch of their new surroundings. I’ll show them the dog door. Post sniffing we can go for a walk to show them their new neighborhood or even go to the beach if that’s ok with you.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a lifetime dog owner. I have two 10 year old dogs Arcata and Izzy and one girlfriend Chelcee. The four of us love to hike, walk, go backpacking, camping or just hang at the house. We would be happy to have another fur ball or two join our adventures. Or perhaps just be a couch potato like our dog Izzy. Whatever they prefer you can be sure we will provide a safe and fun environment. We have a large dog door and a decent sized clean backyard where our dogs love to sun bathe. I work from home giving me the availability to be present with all the fur babies. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with a stranger. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet has a great time. Please reach out with any of your questions or concerns. Thanks!

Bella had an amazing time both days while we skied as was evident by her long nap when we got back to our Airbnb! Bella can’t wait to visit again.

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.
