Pet care experience

Gaurdian care at your doorstep! 🐾

I have a strong background in managing a vet office and surgical center. My love for adopting shelter pups and fostering has grown, and I'm experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. Each pet is unique and special, and I appreciate the traits of every breed. Additionally, I'm now caring for cats as well, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I'm excited to bring my passion for pet guardianship to your furry loves!

This was my first time using a dog walking service. I couldn't have picked a better person to entrust my dogs with. Thank you Nicole for a great job and most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved you.

By gathering this information ahead of time, I can provide the best possible care for the cats and dogs under my guardianship. Feeding Schedule: Understanding their regular feeding times, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies they might have. Medications: If they require any medications, knowing the correct dosage and administration instructions is vital. Medical History: Being aware of any past or current health issues, recent vaccinations, and contact information for their veterinarian. Exercise Needs: Knowing their exercise requirements and preferred activities, so you can keep them physically and mentally stimulated. Behavioral Cues: Understanding their body language and behavioral signals to ensure you can address their needs and potential stressors. Special Habits: Being aware of any specific habits or routines they have, which can provide comfort and stability during their time with you. Interactions with Others: Knowing how they behave around other pets or people, which can help ensure a safe and positive environment. Emergency Contacts: Having the contact information for the pet owners, as well as any emergency contacts they provide.
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.
