Availability

As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention.

Information Marcia N. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. I always ask about their energy level, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medical needs, and how they do with other animals or new environments. Knowing things like whether they’re crate-trained, have any fears (like loud noises), or need help with anxiety helps me provide the best possible care. The more I know, the more I can make them feel at home!

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged and happy! Depending on their energy level and preferences, we’ll go on relaxing walks, enjoy backyard playtime, or have indoor fun with toys and games. I also love giving belly rubs, brushing, and just sitting with them for snuggles or quiet companionship. For more active pups, we’ll play fetch or explore the neighborhood. I tailor the activities to each pet’s personality to make sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and loved.

Maria was so very kind and kept me updated with sending pictures of my fur baby while out of town. She accepted a very last minute stay and was super easy to communicate with!

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.
