Pet care experience

I'm a kind hearted animal lover.

I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, Alobar, Delilah and Cedar. I've had them all since they were 5 and 6 weeks old and I wouldn't trade them for the world! Our favorite things to do are go to the beach for off leash play time and to visit our family and friends in the mountains of North Carolina. Cedar the kitty enjoys any moment she can get with the dogs and I. She also enjoys playing under the covers, hunting lizards and eating lots of treats. I have experience in fostering as I've fostered golden retrievers through Grateful Goldens and an entire litter of puppies through Pet Helpers. I also have experience sitting for some other interesting animals ranging from chinchillas to servals. After pet sitting for SO many years I've come across all types of animals with an array of personalities. This allows me to be well rounded and an ideal pet sitter for any situation. I pride myself in being kind, nurturing and very patient when it comes to taking care of animals. I like to take my time with them to make sure they are properly taken care of and having a great time too! I'm available full time to pet sit for you year round and on some holidays! I fully understand how important it is to find a reliable dog sitter and will be available during rain, snow, or sunshine to take care of your dogs! I absolutely adore all animals and couldn't imagine not having them in my life! That is why I have made the decision to become a pet sitter. I have been a sitter on Rover for 8 years and I'm a retired, but still licensed massage therapist of 13 years. I am now currently enrolled in nursing school full time at Trident Technical College. I am very hyper aware of all the important safety concerns when it comes to watching animals. I'm always on my toes and ready to keep everything under control. I will provide you with a ton of fun photos of your pets for your viewing pleasure and so you can follow along and stay updated on our sessions.

Katie spent the whole time with our kitty and loving on him and taking good care of him. We enjoyed our trip so much more with her good communication and kindness to our little one.

Before I watch your pet I need to know of any important medical history, aggressive tendencies or potential escape artists. Also it's nice to write out a note and leave it on the counter if theres anything special I should 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.
