Pet care experience

Vet Tech/Rescue Dog & Cat Mom

Not only do I have a great love for all types of animals, but I have 5+ yrs of experience working in a small animal veterinary hospital. Is your pet on insulin, steroids, or antibiotics? Do they have any special health conditions? Not a problem, I can work with them as long as you provide the details of what's needed. I have 3 pets of my own: a shorthaired black cat named Schoko, a Cocker Spaniel mix named Bissli, and a younger sheltie mix named Gila. The older two pets are seniors and have chronic health issues, but still act like kitten and puppy sometimes.

Safety, trust & environment

It's important to me that your pets have a positive and smooth experience with their pet parents being gone. When caring for any pet, I treat them as I'd want my pets cared for. I also use this app when looking for pet care for my pets.

Drop-In Visits • Apr 15, 2024

Mari has done drop-in visits a few times for my two cats, one of whom can be very feisty and picky. She’s done a great job responding to his temperament and is incredibly helpful and personable. I would absolutely recommend her!

Mari-Ann took care of my dog over a long week-end. She did a fine job. My Buster got along with her dogs and cat. She managed his puppy behavior with patience. Great about walking him. I would trust her again.

Schedule

I'm not currently working or in school...yet. My availability to take jobs after the end of August will depend on my schedule. I'm either at home with my pets or running about, with no more than 5 hours of them being at home without a bathroom break. Dogs I care for get walks as well as some play or snuggle time.

Please let me know about any health or behavioral concerns, as well as what commands or tone your dog is used to responding to. I prefer to meet you and your dog in person with you before booking.
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.
