Pet care experience

Attentive sitter, play date &walks

I’m home nearly every day and have a fully fenced back yard and very friendly golden retriever to keep your pup company. I have decades of experience from puppies to frosted faces- each have their own joys. I have attended dog training classes, and have worked with well behaved and wild pups as well. I have experience with leash aggression, anxiety, high prey drive, dominance, food aggression and more. I can work with your dog in the space that they- and you- are comfortable, playing at home, play dates or going on walks. I will try and keep your pets schedule as much as possible and continue your training routines. For house sitting- I have my radius set small, since I will not be staying in your home- this allows do multiple visits a day, please reach out to discuss further and see if what I can offer is a good fit or not for your pet(s). I have over twenty years of cat experience, will provide little box cleaning and lots of pets, play and attention. I’m aquarium and house plant savvy as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pets routine as normal as possible while you’re gone is usually ideal- if that is out for walks, playing in the yard, or kenneled at night. My yard is fully fenced for boarding and as an added reassurance, I’ve been thoroughly background checked and have random drug tests through work.

Please let me know any concerns you have ahead of time! Also if you (or your dog) prefer dog company or no other dogs. Any anxiety or aggression present or past so I can help watch for signs, or avoid triggers. I want a great experience for all of us and a big part of that is setting up for success!
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.
