Walk – It Does A Doggy Good🐶

Pet care experience

I have a genuine love for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. As a German Shorthair Pointer dog & cat mom, I understand the importance of exercise, routine, and comfort—and I love getting outside for walks rain or shine. I’m responsible, reliable, and great at communicating with both pets and their people. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱 Services I Offer • Walks & drop-in visits • Pick-up/drop-off and transport to vet appointments, grooming, or daycare • Regular daycare or boarding arrangements (I only take my pets to the best places here in the PNW) • Personalized pet care calendar that integrates seamlessly with your schedule (can setup a google calendar the integrates with your calendar) • Extra love, playtime, and snuggles—because pets deserve the best! Whatever your needs are, just ask—I’m flexible and happy to create a plan that works for you and your pets.

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.
