I currently work from home as a full time mental health therapist, so I’m home basically all the time. The longest I work with no breaks is 4 hours, so while I’d still be in the room with your pet, that’s the longest I wouldn’t be able to take them out for. I love to go on walks/runs and be outside, so your pet would still get plenty of outside time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a modern, dog friendly apartment. My top priorities are making sure your dog is safe and feels comfortable and relaxed. I meet these goals by being very attentive to your dog’s well being, needs, and moods. I live with two roommates who are both women and PHD students at UCLA. They both keep to themselves and love animals. One has a cat, but she keeps him in her room. I have the master bedroom, which is very spacious - that’s where your pet would be for their stay.

Information Madeleine S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know how energetic he/she is and whether he/she is able to keep to themselves while I’m in a session for up to 60 minutes. Since I’m a therapist, I do need to be focused on the client during sessions.

A typical day

I can take your dog to a dog park since I have a car, or just walk around the neighborhood. I enjoy long walks, short walks, and running. I love to play with dogs, like tug of war and throwing the tennis ball.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a mental health therapist who works remotely and lives in an apartment Sawtelle. I love dogs and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them. My goal is to meet the needs of your dog and to make him/her as happy as possible. I can take dogs to the dog park because I have a car and clean driving record, or I can just take them on walks or stop by to play! I am always highly aware of my surroundings when walking a dog, and my number one priority is keeping him or her safe. Taking care of dogs is something that brings me immense joy and I am more than happy to help you take care of your dog (or pet)! I am not one to party or hangout in large groups, so you can be assured that you and your pet will be safe and in a calm environment. I’ve been walking a black lab mix almost daily for about 3 years for an elderly neighbor. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between!

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.
