Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and owned a wonderful dog in college. I started living with cats once I started working full time. I currently have 2 young cats and one older cat that keep me pretty busy. Any dog that I host for doggy daycare, must be cat-friendly and actually needs to put up with being chased by my rascal cat Rufus (too brave for his own good). I have walked dogs at SFACC in the past and am comfortable around all breeds. I meet/greet/pet every dog I meet on the street. Because I brake for all dogs, I am irritating to walk with at times. I have an enclosed patio so your best friend can be outdoors and you don’t have to worry. I will take care of your best friend as if he/she were my own pet. I can provide references as needed.

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.
