Pet care experience

Experienced Vet Tech and Pet Owner

I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life both at home and in a veterinary setting. I worked as a veterinary technician for four years and come from a dog-friendly family (my dad is a veterinarian!). I have also volunteered at shelters over the years. I adopted two cats of my own in 2023! I grew up with two small dogs, but have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also care for a senior dog and have experience administering oral medication.

Moreno was awesome! She went way above and beyond what was asked of her and I really appreciate it. She was a great communicator, I will definitely request her again in the future. Highly recommend!!A+++

I have no breed preferences at all! Before caring for your pet, I'd like to know: - Does he/she get along with kids or other animals? - Does he/she take any medications? - Is he/she crate-trained and housebroken? - Where do you normally take him/her for a walk? - Does your dog have a favorite park?
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.
