Peace of Mind For You and Your Pet

Animals make my world go 'round! After a career as a Flight Attendant, I became a Veterinary Receptionist for the most amazing clinic on the planet. Not only are the veterinarians skilled doctors-- they are teachers who enthusiastically share their wealth of knowledge with all of us lucky enough to work with them. After I retired, I became a pet sitter for many of the clients we worked with. It was an honor to have known many of them from the time they were puppies, and through their Golden Years. I have enjoyed the company of dogs (and a cat) since I was a kid. Dogs will always be part of my life! In addition to caring for several of my friends' pets, I write a column on dogs for a local publication.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I do not provide daycare for pets in my home. I have three older dogs who are set in their routines, and who enjoy a quiet and predictable lifestyle.

Marti, sorry you walked into the mess. She is no longer croggy from surgery. She seems a bit hyperactive. After work I will take her where she can run free. Thank you for detailed info and pictures.

I want to make my time with your pets the best-- and safest-- experience that I can. I need to know if they have any medical, physical or behavioral issues. Do they enjoy the company of other pets? What's a typical day for him or her like? Being without an owner can be stressful for a pet. I want to get as close to a normal day for them as I can so that they-- and you-- can feel at ease.
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.
