Pet care experience

College student who loves dogs!

I have been taking care of my family's pets since I was a young girl, but I officially started dog sitting when I was around 16. I have been a dog walker, stopping by houses when families are out of town or at work. I have been a dog and house sitter, staying for as long as two weeks with multiple large dogs. I absolutely love all dogs and have a lot of experience with big "scary" dogs and how to manage them, having grown up with and trained German shepherds.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a calm, clean environment either inside your home or when on a walk with myself. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and ensure constant supervision, trust, and gentle care.

Mariposa took care of the boys, took them on walks and played. She kept me updated and communicated well. So appreciate her great care!

I like to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time; things like dietary restrictions, medications, favorite toys, triggers, and how they do around other animals or new people.
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.
