Pet care experience

reliable experienced college sitter

I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs. One of my own dogs is very anxious, so I’m comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience and reassurance. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, and play with pets, and I can also give medication and help with basic training. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me with their pets, and I truly enjoy making every dog feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my clients’ homes, which helps dogs feel more comfortable by staying in a familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s routines and house rules to keep pets safe and calm, and I make sure the home stays clean and respectful while I’m there. Because I’m experienced, reliable, and attentive, I’m able to quickly learn each pet’s needs and keep them happy, safe, and relaxed in their own space.

Maggie has been good with both of our dogs and following the instructions we've provided for their care. We're looking forward to booking her in the future!

Schedule

I have a very flexible routine, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I’m available every weekend from Friday through Sunday for boarding or extended visits. During the week, I’m free every morning from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m also available after 4:30 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m free after 7:30 PM, with additional availability from 3–5 PM. No matter the day, I make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, exercise, and care.

Before watching your dog, I appreciate knowing absolutely everything you think is important. This can include their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, quirks, anxiety triggers, whether they take any medications, and how they do with other dogs or new people. The more details you share, the better I can match their needs and keep them comfortable, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
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.
