Safety, trust & environment

At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is friendly or anxious or high energy. Please let me know what length of walk they like or how long they like to be outside or if they’re allowed on your couch or not. Tell me all the details! :)

A typical day

With me, your pet will have lots of fun! We can visit the local park and take long walks. We can also play with their favorite toys and I’m happy to give them treats for their good behavior!

Pet care experience

I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help!

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.
