Pet care experience

Your Pet, My Priority

I have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cockapoo, a 30-pound, high-energy dog who taught me more than I expected. Early on, he pulled on the leash and got easily distracted around other dogs, so I worked through leash training and gradually introduced him to dog parks to build his confidence and social skills. I adapted his exercise routine over time, adding frisbee and fetch to match his energy level. Beyond my own dog, I stepped in for a family friend under emergency circumstances, which taught me how to stay calm under pressure, follow an unfamiliar routine carefully, and pick up on what a dog needs quickly. I confirmed the emergency vet location and sent photo updates within the first hour.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my first priority. In a client's home I follow all provided instructions carefully, double-check leashes, doors, and outdoor areas, confirm the nearest emergency vet, and send a photo update within the first hour so owners feel reassured from the start.

Is there a favorite blanket, toy, or familiar scent that helps them feel at home? Are they nervous around new people, and if so, how do they warm up best? Slow and patient, or do they just need a good game to break the ice? Are there any triggers I should know about, like loud noises, other dogs, or certain handling? The more I know before your dog arrives, the less they have to figure out on their own, and the faster they feel safe, comfortable, and like themselves.
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.
