Schedule
I'm currently working part-time, and I'm looking to making pet care a more central part of my life, so I will have plenty of time to give the attention to your kiddo(s) that they deserve. ❤

Please let me know if your pet has special needs or health conditions about which I should be aware. Also, please make me aware of any behavioral sensitivities they may have (ie. nervousness around strangers or dog reactivity). As a former veterinary technician, I am well equipped to work with dogs with health conditions or behavioral sensitivities.
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.
