I grew up with 'pound hounds', my parents always found a rescue that needed stability, love and care and I've always valued having an animal in the home. After leaving my parents' home I continued to pet-sit for our family pets whenever needed. I've watched plenty of friends' pets as well and enjoy the brief window of time I get to spend with these fur-babies. I recently had a friend recommend Rover as a way to bring love and care to families that need to step away from their babies and I jumped at the opportunity! I provide calm, dependable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs — whether that means active playtime, extra patience with shy pets, or keeping up with feeding and medication schedules. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like family and aim to make their time with me as stress-free and fun as possible.
