Pet care experience

Dogs are family! Not pets ;)

From the moment I welcomed Dusty into my life, I’ve understood that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. My experience goes beyond feeding and walking; it’s about creating a safe, joyful environment where pets feel loved and understood. • Hands-on family experience: Caring for Dusty has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I know how to handle the silly, playful moments as well as the tender, comforting ones. • Celebration of milestones: I believe pets deserve to be part of life’s biggest moments. Dusty has been included in family celebrations, travel adventures, and even our wedding—proof that I’ll treat your pet with the same devotion. • Creative care: Whether it’s making up fun games, capturing adorable photos, or writing playful captions for Dusty’s “Instagram-worthy” moments, I bring creativity and joy to pet care. • Trustworthy and attentive: I understand how much peace of mind matters when leaving your pet with someone new. I’m committed to keeping routines consistent, noticing the little details , and giving regular updates so you feel connected.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety first: I follow routines carefully and keep pets secure during walks, play, and rest. Trustworthy care: Clear communication and regular updates give families peace of mind. Loving environment: Pets feel at home with me — nurtured, comfortable, and part of the family.

Schedule

My schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute check-ins. Because I’m already caring for Dusty, I’m accustomed to planning my days around feeding, exercise, and playtime. Adding another furry friend feels seamless. I manage my professional responsibilities while keeping time open for meaningful connections—like giving pets the attention they deserve. I know how important routines are for pets, so I make sure my schedule aligns with theirs, not the other way around.

Nellie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
What’s their daily routine (meals, walks, playtime)? Do they have any health needs (medications, allergies, vet info)? What are their favorite games or toys? How do they like to relax (cuddles, quiet time, belly rubs)? Are there any house rules (furniture, crate, yard boundaries)? How would you like me to keep you updated?
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.
