“Exp’d, Trustw’y Animal‑Lover
About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home!

Safety, trust & environment
1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.
Ratings and reviews
Pam watched our dog during the holidays with a last minute booking. She was accommodating of our schedule and requests. She spoiled our dog like she was her own, and our dog just loved the time spent with her. We will be using her again in the future. Pam was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to others!
Wow! She was simply amazing with our girls! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk them. She usually does a meet and greet but because our booking was last minute she just trusted that our 2 golden girls would be sweet and welcoming. (Which they were). Will definitely be booking her again!
Pamela took care of my 3 cats and stayed in my home to avoid to have them getting situated elsewhere as one of my cats is a scaredy cat. She visited upfront to get to know our routine and to meet the furry customers. And what can i say, they loved her. She´s for sure a cat whisperer. We got updates throughout the day and and she sent us a lot of pictures. I am happy we found her and for my next vacation i know who my Cat sitter will be. Thank you Pamela for the 100% positive experience. Marlin, Spooky and Piri say "Hi".
Pam recently took care of our chickens while we were on vacation and she did an exceptional job! They always had fresh food and water. She let them out each morning and made sure they were safely in their coop each night. Pam is caring, reliable, and trustworthy, and I would highly recommend her for any pet care position.
Pam was awesome with my 2 large dogs! They both adore her even my grumpy old lady! I was completely comfortable leaving them with her or welcoming her in my home. Highly recommend Pam!
I hired Pam to take care of my dog, June, while I was on a work trip. June is a small, clingy dog who usually doesn't do well when I'm away. I was hesitant to hire someone because June isn't very sociable. However, after an initial introduction, my worries disappeared as Pam and June quickly bonded. I was amazed to see June warm up to Pam and even give her kisses within minutes. Pam stayed at my house and treated June as her own, even FaceTiming me (though June didn't seem to miss me). I felt completely at ease, knowing my puppy was in good hands. I highly recommend Pam and will definitely use her services again!

Schedule
1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind.
