Safety, trust & environment

I take safety seriously for all animals under my care and work to build trust from day one. Whether you have an excitable young pup who needs help with basic housebreaking and manners or an older dog who takes it slow and needs medications administered, I am happy to give them the care they need.

Information Lydia Rose R. would like to know about your pet

The more information you can give me about your pet and their wants and needs, the better! If they have any health or behavioral issues, that is particularly important to know up front.

A typical day

I am happy to provide the care you need for your particular pet, whether that is running around and playing fetch in the backyard, going for a leisurely walk, or just dropping by for feedings and cuddles.

Pet care experience

I'm the lucky owner of a rescue pup myself, so I know how important it is to have a trusted caretaker for your pet! I started off volunteering as a dog walker at my local shelter and loved it so much that I decided to do it professionally. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities--including pups with tricky behaviors--and I love them all. I'm happy to run around for the more energetic pups or just do a gentle stroll and cuddle for the calmer canines. Whatever your dog's style, I'm happy to accommodate the care they need and will provide plenty of pictures and text updates with every visit. I truly love the time I get to spend cat sitting and dog walking, and make sure that the pets love it too.

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.
