Pet care experience
Your Pup’s Home Away From Home ❤️
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl, and I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, one is 6 years old and the other is 4. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, and I’ve even had experience caring for chameleons! My love for animals goes beyond simply having pets. I studied veterinary medicine for three years, and although I ultimately chose a different path, the knowledge and love for animals have stayed with me. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care, including feeding, walks, bathing, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two-year-old daughter, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy. For me, Rover is a wonderful opportunity to turn something I truly love into a rewarding experience while providing pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a visit, or a comfortable home away from home, I’d be happy to care for them like one of my own. 🐾❤️

Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was reliable, caring, and treated our pet like her own. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring, and we will absolutely use her again!

Schedule
As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. For boarding, I can be home with your pet throughout the day, with time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can also accommodate regular walks and drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs and my family’s schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My family and I love having pets around, and I’m excited to make caring for animals a meaningful part of my routine while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in loving hands. 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a one-story home with no stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and play. My two French Bulldogs are very friendly and used to being around other dogs and pets. When caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they are supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and love. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet may need. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your pet’s normal routine, and keep a close eye on them throughout my visit. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. 🐾❤️
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to learn what they enjoy most and follow their normal routine. A typical day can include walks, playtime in the backyard, playing fetch or catch, and lots of attention and cuddles. If a dog enjoys being active, I’m happy to play ball, run around with them, or spend extra time playing outside. On warm days, if the owner is comfortable with it and their dog enjoys water, I can also let them have some supervised water play to cool off. I also make sure pets have plenty of downtime and feel comfortable in their environment. My goal is to keep them happy, entertained, and cared for while giving them activities they genuinely enjoy.

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know anything that will help me make their stay or visit as comfortable and safe as possible. Please let me know about any special needs, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, health concerns, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of. I’d also love to know your pet’s normal routine, what they enjoy doing, how they get along with other dogs or pets, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible while they’re in my care. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them!
