Safety, trust & environment

At the moment I just have one cat named Bruce Wayne who is very much my shadow. We play fetch and he sleeps next to me most nights. I have also cared for many cats and dogs and will accommodate the individual needs for their care.

Matt took great care of our senior dog Jazz. He updated us frequently, was quick to respond to texts and was so helpful when we got stranded due to a winter storm.

Matt did a great job letting out our motley crew of dogs. They can be a handful but he handled them all and was great at communicating throughout the whole process.

If you would like to have a phone conversation or a meet up with your pet to discuss their specific needs I’m totally happy to do so. I want them to feel safe and loved as if they were my own.
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.
