I recently went back to three days in office for my primary job, which does present some obstacles as far as scheduling. I generally go in Tuesday-Thursdays but I am available after work in the evenings. Feel free to message me for availability.

Safety, trust & environment

Although I work, I always make sure my dogs are within eye sight or napping/lounging in a designated safe area. I’m always aware of what is on the ground and always making sure your pet is relaxed, well fed, water bowl always full, played with and over all cared for as if they were my own. I always lock doors behind me and don’t bother open windows. I only unleash in the house or an enclosed area. I will 100% treat your baby as my own as that is how I would want mine treated :) Meet & greets are necessary when booking to make sure we are good fit for eachother :)

Information Kathleen N. would like to know about your pet

I do require a meet & greet if it’s our first time meeting. Just to make sure we are on the same page and so your fur baby can get a sense of who I am :)

A typical day

I’m a lover first so pets and cuddles are always number one. I always want to make sure your baby feels comfortable with me. As for walks, I just go with the flow and let them lead. I go where the wind takes us. If they’re a runner, they’ll have no problem catching up with me! Food tends to be the strongest motivator so making sure they are well fed is a number one priority. I will always leave a space nearly exactly how I found it.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all of my family and friends’ pets from high school, through college and they have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their babies many times. This has allowed me to grow my experience on this app and I now have four+ years of experience here as well. I finally got a pup of my own, making me the proud owner of a 4 year old Lab/German Shepard/Rott that I’ve raised since the early age of 7 weeks. I also grew up with two cats so I don’t mind taking care of either. Shoot me a message for any questions! Hope to connect!

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.
