~ At a Glance ~ - 10+ Years of Dog Care Experience - Walks, Drop-In Visits & Overnight Stays - Experienced with Oral, Injected, and Topical Meds - Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR Certificate - Experience with caged animals (bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles) ~ My Experience ~ I am a recently graduated young professional currently working from home. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I began pet sitting for a neighbor in 2014, but I've been responsible for family pet care since I was 8 years old. These duties include: - Feeding - Cuddling and playtime - Walks and potty breaks - Administering medications - Baths, light grooming and hygiene care - Litter box cleaning and litter changes - And more! I have experience administering oral, topical and injected medication. I have experience with special needs animals, puppies and senior dogs. I’ve also completed the Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR course through the American Red Cross in October 2024. In my home are 2 cats and 1 small dog. For the safety and comfort of all animals involved, doggy day care and boarding is unavailable at this time. I appreciate your understanding! My policies are continued below. **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING.** ~ My Policies ~ Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are typically 30 minutes long, but 60-minute visits are also available. During these visits, cats receive food, water, and a litter scoop, while dogs are fed and walked or let outside to potty. Please specify the duration you prefer and the exact duties you would like me to perform for your pet(s) during this time. House Sitting House sitting services on Rover are billed at a nightly rate. Most clients within a 10-mile radius (10-20 minute drive) request multiple visits throughout the day, along with overnight stays. **However, if you need me to stay in your home full-time (24 hours) without leaving for two or more consecutive days, an additional continuous care fee of $50 per day will apply.** This is because I will be unable to meet with or serve other clients for the duration of your stay. Walks and Potty Breaks Walks are generally 30 minutes, but a 60-minute option is also available. For safety, I can walk a maximum of two dogs at a time. During our meet and greet, please demonstrate how to properly fasten their harnesses and share any commands you use. If your dog tends to pull, especially if they weigh 50 pounds or more, kindly inform me in advance. If you just want me to let your dog into the yard for a potty break, please specify this your booking request and request a drop-in visit instead of a walk. This is because Rover requires a card to be submitted for walks that records the time and distance traveled on the walk--this is inapplicable for potty breaks. Meet & Greets I offer a complimentary meet and greet to every new client, allowing us to get to know each other and to ensure my services align with your pet’s needs. During this visit, we will: - Discuss your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions. - Review home access instructions (entry codes, alarm systems, etc.) - Observe your pet’s behavior and comfort level with my presence. - Confirm the booking rate and answer any remaining questions. Your booking request is reserved for up to 48 hours after the initial meet and greet. If payment is not submitted within this time period, I must archive your request so I remain visible in Rover’s search results. **This means your requested time slot will remain open to other clients.** Please note, I cannot hold reservations without a confirmed booking, as my schedule fills up quickly, particularly around the holidays. Drop-In Test For pets, especially those with special needs, high anxiety, or who have no previous experience with sitters, I offer a drop-in test. The drop-in test is a discounted drop-in visit to see how your pet responds to my presence alone in your home. This test is an assessment of their comfort level, and an early opportunity to evaluate my quality as a pet sitter. If the test is successful, with your approval, we’ll move forward with house-sitting. If your needs differ from the care than I can provide, we won’t proceed with the longer booking. Cancellation Policy Cancellations made within 24 hours of the booking start time are eligible for a full refund. Canceling a stay any time after that will incur Rover’s cancellation fee.
