We were so grateful that our dog Colt was being so taken care of and even got to play ball, his favorite thing. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands.

This is our second time leaving our pup with Julie and I didn’t worry for a second! She is always super accommodating and diligent with Luna’s needs and schedule; whether it’s her feeding schedule, allergy meds, or the never-ending pets my doodle will paw you to death for 😂 All of this was confirmed when she set me a picture of Luna, not in her crate where she goes in new places to feel safe, but curled up by Julie’s feet. I wouldn’t leave my dog with just anyone but I’d book Julie again in a heartbeat. 10/10

This was my first time leaving Sunshine with anyone. I was nervous about his overnight stay. Julie communicated with me during his stay. My detailed instructions for him were followed. She understood that he is my baby and she took good care of him. I would highly recommend her for your dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. I keep a peaceful home and stick to consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and rest time. I’m home often on weekends and available to give plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I adjust to their needs.

Pets

A typical day

I’m very attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully and understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s normal routine. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, senior dogs or dogs needing a slower pace. I can keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

I'm an old special education teacher who understands the various needs of each individual. I think it is safe to say the same can be true for dogs. I just need instructions on what your preferences are ahead of time.
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.
