Pet care experience

Pet sitting, dog and cat lover

I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have entrusted their pets in my care to be fed, played with and kept happy (as they can being away from their humans). I love animals and will do my best to keep the animals in my care happy and healthy while they are with me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am good at following instructions and would love to help keep your pet on their preferred routine. I have worked with dogs that need to be crated before they are left alone, and cats that love to hide while new people are in their space. I grew up in Girl Scouts and always try to leave my space better than I found it.

Julia is always very communicative which gives me a lot of peace of mind when I’m gone. Even when my cat is being a bit feisty she always gives him great love and care.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a freelance novel editor which means I work remotely. I can take breaks as needed and work anywhere with wifi! So if you want your pet to have a companion during the day I would be a great fit for your furry family member! I am now also working as a barista part time so there will be days I am going to have shots that are anywhere from 4-6 hours.

I would love to know if there’s any hard dos and don’ts for a pet. Especially food allergies or what to do if they have a medical condition. Also any routines that will make your animal more comfortable with me in any capacity!
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.
