Safety, trust & environment

Establishing trust and rapport with every animal I care for -and with every client!- is extremely important to me. I always allow animals to approach me at their own time and on their own terms, never rushing or crowding them. Before every job I do a full walk-through of the house and daily routine with my clients, taking detailed notes and ensuring I understand exactly the care their pets need.

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for and am comfortable working with a wide variety of animals, not only dogs and cats! I have cared for fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds in the past, and welcome the opportunity to expand that list even farther. I have owned and cared for many senior animals throughout my life, as well as many nervous or skittish or otherwise 'difficult' cats and dogs who need gentle, considerate handling. I'm handy around the house and yard too!

Owein was great with our little guy. Took care of every detail including good care of the house.

Owein did absolutely amazing with my senior dog. He’s an anxious, quirky dog who just needs some time to get used to someone before relaxing and going back to his normal lazy schedule. Owein was so great with Cooper! We received pictures and updates and we had great communication throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be booking more stays in the future. Thank you Owein!

Owein was very kind and prompt. The communication was very easy and he gave us picture updates throughout his stay with our dog. It was great that he was able to stay with our dog nearly 24/7, she loves company!

Owein is my go to sitter for taking care of my two pugs! He really came through in a pinch with a last minute booking the day beforehand with an unexpected need for a sitter. My dogs absolutely adore him and he always gives them such nice thorough walks. I will definitely continue to have Owein watch my pups in the future whether I am on vacation or need help with them being walked during the day. Thanks so much!

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.
