Experienced and caring animal lover

Pet care experience

I have many years of experience in animal care. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 4 years as a young adult. Since then I have cared for many pets, including my own. I also worked as a naturalist for a decade and during that time I cared for animals like birds, snakes and even tarantulas! I am calm, responsible and friendly and I am good with both human and animal communication and will work to help you and your pet feel safe and comfortable.

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.
