Active and Caring Rover Sitter

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters? Well, for starters, I've personally taken care of two furry friends, Maggie and Lucy, who I absolutely adore. They've taught me everything about unconditional love, patience, and loyalty. Aside from that, I have a special skill in training puppies and caring for senior dogs. And, as a former professional athlete, I'm super active and love going for long walks and runs. Your dog will definitely get a workout in with me! Plus, I'm not one to overindulge them with food, so you don't have to worry about them coming back to you with a few extra pounds. I'm also studying to be a nurse, so I'm always learning and growing in my ability to care for others. But right now, my focus is on caring for your pup! So if you want your furry friend to be in the hands of someone who is personable, funny, and endearing, then look no further. Let's connect and set up a meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment

If I'm caring for pets in my home, I have a fully fenced yard with a doggy door, so they can play and explore to their heart's content. And, if needed, I'm happy to keep them separate from my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful of the clients' rules and routines. I communicate clearly and effectively to make sure I'm meeting all of their needs and expectations. I'm patient and compassionate, but also able to be firm when necessary. And, I always make sure to give each pet plenty of love and attention, whether that means going for a long walk, playing fetch in the backyard, or just cuddling up for some quality snuggle time. In short, I treat each pet as if they were my own, with the utmost care and respect. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me, and that I'll always go above and beyond to make sure they're happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me and the dogs I watch is all about fun and adventure. I absolutely love being outside and exploring the great outdoors, so you can bet that we'll be spending plenty of time outside in the fresh air and sunshine. One of my favorite spots to take dogs on walks is Potapsco Park - it's such a beautiful area with lots of trails and scenic views. I also love taking pups to Old Ellicott City, where we can wander through the charming streets and enjoy the sights and sounds of this historic town. No matter where we go, you can be sure that we'll be active and playful. I believe that exercise and playtime are so important for dogs (and for me too!), so we'll be running, playing fetch, and having a blast together. Whether it's a game of tug-of-war or a romp through the park, I'm always up for some fun with my furry friends. As a part-time student, I have plenty of free time to explore new places and have fun with the dogs I watch. So if you're looking for a reliable and enthusiastic dog walker who truly loves being outside and being active, I'm your guy!

Taking care of furry friends fits perfectly into my routine. It's a great way for me to de-stress and take a break from my busy schedule. Plus, I love meeting new pets and getting to know their unique personalities. There's nothing quite like the unconditional love and joy that they bring into our lives. And, as someone who is super active and loves spending time outdoors, taking dogs for long walks or playing with them in the park is a perfect way to stay active and energized. So, whether you need someone to drop in and check on your pet during the day or stay overnight, I'm here to help.
