Pet Sitting, Visits & Walks :)

Hello, Friendly dog walker/ pet feeder in Lake Forest Park, here! I have a flexible schedule (I work from home most days). I have experience with many kinds of breeds, and greatly enjoy taking them on walks, playing in the house or yard, or just some cuddle time. I am a musician and I find that my dog, Simon especially enjoys when I play acoustic guitar, or piano if it's quiet. He is an 12 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix, that we got from the rescue shelter when he was still a pup. He's little but has a lot of personality, so I think he's making a name for himself on our block. Ok, I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Trixie was very happy. I always love when she makes new tiny baby dog friends. Recommended!

Michael was really chill and flexible and I really appreciate him taking care of Colby last minute. Simon the dog was very sweet to Colby as well.

My pet care style depends on the pet, really. Some like to play a lot, while others like to sleep or cuddle on the couch more.

Does your pet have any special needs, or issues? It's nice to know more about them. I know sometimes a pet can take a few visits to warm up, and sometimes instantly.
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.
