Please let me know if your pet has any special needs (potty issues, food allergies, mobility difficulties). I will do everything in my power to accommodate the needs.

We will go on many walks during the day and visit with neighbors. If owners allow maybe a quick shopping trip to Lowe’s, Scheels or other pet friendly stores. Fetch or tug-o-war in the basement.

I have had pets all my life (over 40 years), dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I’ve trained my pets with proper obedience. I can administer medication if needed. I’ve taken care of many pets for family and friends. My daughter is a pet groomer and can provide extra hygiene care if requested.

Cookie immediately felt right at home! Kari and her hubby took her, along with their doggies, took walks and they had a great time sharing the back yard!

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.
