Pet care experience

Trainer, photographer, and friend

My significant other and I have had our own dogs for over a decade now, but have been training dogs since we were kids. We have train dogs in personal protection, service dog tasks, and for fun. I have experience working a veterinary clinic and a board and train facility. Above all, our dogs are family to us, and we are very picky about who watches them. I expect that you feel the same. If we are caring for you dog/cat while you're away at work, or out of town, we will do more than just stop in to let them out and feed them. We are happy to spend time with your dog(s) whether they like playing outdoors, or just staying in and having company. I'm also a pet photographer in my spare time and never turn down a request to send photo updates, or take some great shots that you might want to share on Facebook, or frame.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, we are not able to board your pet in our home. Our current senior dog does not get along with other dogs. We are happy to stop by your home up to three times daily for drop in visits and may be able to do some in-home pet sitting on a case-by-case basis. Don't hesitate to ask.

Kate did a great job! I needed help last minute with my cat and she was ready and available to help. Met with her virtually via rover app, I felt comfortable with her right away. She gave very detailed check ins. Absolutely will use her again and recommend her to others.

If your dog has special needs, let's go over that during our meet and greet. I can give oral medications, if needed. I do not have experience administering injected medications and confess that I do not do well with needles. If there are behavioral concerns (ie bolts for the doors or would do better if I can offer a treat when I come in the house), no worries, just let me know.
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.
