I've been a Rover sitter for almost a year and have proudly maintained Star Sitter status for more than eight months. I love meeting new pets and providing reliable, loving care. I send lots of pictures and updates though out the day that gives owners peace of mind while they're away. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had cats in my home, along with a sweet family dog. From a young age, I learned how to care for pets with patience, love, and consistency whether that meant cleaning litter boxes, going on daily walks, keeping up with feeding routines, or giving plenty of snuggles and attention. Throughout high school and college, I regularly walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors' pets, including extended stays with dogs and puppies. One of my longest pet-sitting jobs lasted over two weeks, caring for two dogs, including a high-energy puppy and making sure they received multiple walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection each day. At home, I have a playful cat named Ash and we're currently fostering an adorable kitten named Winnie. Caring for them has strengthened my understanding of different personalities, routines, and the patience every pet deserves. I've cared for pets with a wide range of temperaments, from energetic dogs to shy cats, and I always take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own while respecting the routines and care instructions that help them feel at home. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
