Your pet’s new best friend

Pet care experience

When people ask, “are you a dog person or a cat person?” I’ve always said, “both.” I’ve had 10 pets in my life, both dogs and cats, and I love them equally. It seems like when I meet new pets they usually take to me very quickly, and I’ve always been very proud of that. I’m usually the first person my friends ask to pet sit, and I’ve been doing it since 5th grade. I’ve taken care of pets with special dietary and medication needs as well. I look forward to giving your pet the same love, care, and attention that you would.

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.
