Safety, trust & environment

I find that animals are typically most comfortable in their own homes. I don’t offer boarding for this reason. When I visit I like to know where their favourite toys are and understand how they like to engage with people (ie do they like attention, do they prefer to be ignored but close by?)

Information Miriam D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pets’ unique needs, allergies and commands! I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before walking your dog. This is so that the dog feels a bit more comfortable and we can start to built trust right off the bat.

A typical day

A typical day looks like playing with your pup or cat to the degree that they like. It involves feeding them, potentially giving them treats and generally being around them so they feel less alone. I like to take dogs on walks to places that they feel the most comfortable, so familiar places are prioritized. I do not typically take the dogs off leash for safety reasons.

Miriam is great with my pets and was very flexible when I had to change the timing of pet sitting a bit today. So glad she was able to watch my 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.
