Availability

I am retired but enjoy staying busy but also relax by being with animals. I have very accepting pets that will calmly welcome your pet to my home. My pets will also accommodate my stay in your home if that is best for your pet. My 2 cats & 2 dogs can stay alone overnight if you need me in your home. I understand pets feeling most secure in their known environment.

As always, just the best care. I feel so good about leaving Zeke in Melissa’s care because she REALLY likes him and that’s evident not only in our communication when she’s with him but in the happy, relaxed guy that greets us when we come home.

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.
