Highlights
Pet care experience
Playtime & sniff walks, guaranteed
I’ve got a 4-year-old Chweenie of my own, so I know the whole range: the zoomies, the separation anxiety, the “why won’t you eat your food but you’ll steal mine” moments. Growing up with cats and dogs means I’m used to reading their moods, catching early signs something’s off, and knowing when a walk needs to turn into a slow sniff-everything stroll instead of a power walk. New to Rover but I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting around San Francisco for some time now, so I’m comfortable with a range of breeds and temperaments, not just the easy, food-motivated ones, but the anxious ones, the reactive-on-leash ones, the ones who need a minute to warm up to a stranger before they’ll take a treat from your hand. I’m patient with that. I don’t rush a nervous dog, and I don’t force interactions. Whether it’s a quick midday potty break, a full day of sitting, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re the only one on my schedule that day! Consistent routine, plenty of attention, and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety is never something I’m relaxed about. I always double check gates, leashes, and doors before letting anyone off leash or out into a yard. My own dog has taught me how fast a small dog can slip through a gap you didn’t think was a gap. I keep a close eye during play so things don’t get too rough, and I always have water available and know where the nearest emergency vet is before I start a job, just in case. I treat every home I’m in like it’s not mine. I respect your space, keep things tidy, lock up the way you had it, and don’t invite anyone else over while I’m looking after your pet. Same goes for your pet themselves. I don’t force anything on them. If a dog needs space before they trust me, I give them that space. Trust isn’t something I expect on day one. I earn it by showing up, paying attention, and being the same reliable person every single time. Communication is a big part of this too, so you’ll get updates and photos while you’re away.

Schedule
I’m currently on a gap year — using this time to study and save up before heading into grad school, so my schedule is wide open. No 9-to-5 pulling me away, no last-minute “sorry, something came up.” I can do early morning walks before the day gets busy, midday drop-ins, evening feedings, or overnight/multi-day stays if you’re traveling. I’m based nearby and can usually work around your timing rather than the other way around — if your schedule shifts last minute, I’m easy to reach and quick to adjust.

- Definitely let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, whether that’s a medical condition, medication schedule, anxiety triggers, or just quirks like being funny about strangers or needing a slow introduction. I want to make sure I’m doing right by them from the very first visit, not learning on the fly. I don’t have a strict breed preference. Having a small dog myself, I’m just as comfortable with little guys who need extra gentleness as I am with bigger, more energetic dogs. What matters most to me is understanding their personality so I can actually meet them where they’re at.
