Pet care experience

Come home to happy pups!

Hello! I'm Lovey. I'm a freelance journalist who works from home at odd hours and due to a change in life circumstances, I am currently returning to Rover after some time away in search of a few longer-term house-sitting stays for April and May 2026! Up until her passing in January at the age of 12, I cared for my beloved Frenchie mix Ellie her whole life, including the medication and mobility issues of her senior days. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all walks of life, and have a green thumb and extensive collection of my own when it comes to any plants that may need watering while you’re out of town. I love dogs and exploring local neighborhoods on foot. I always take walks for the full half-hour or mile-long (whichever comes first) unless otherwise specified.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is self-set at this point in my career, so I’m usually available for last minute requests during the work day so long as they are within a 20 mile radius of downtown Durham!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I am always careful to follow exact instructions for both entry and drop off, and as an extrovert I have no fears when it comes to navigating apartment complexes and front desk people. :)

A typical day

Depending on your dog’s energy levels, we can either have a sniff-walk for mental stimulation, or focus more on time spent walking and distance traveled. I have a knack for finding interesting routes on foot in residential areas!

The most important thing to know ahead of time is how reactive your dog may be on leash when it comes to approaching other dogs—my default is to always avoid unless told otherwise!
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.
