Safety, trust & environment

As a COVID-19 precaution I will wear a mask during meet & greets, pick-ups and drop-offs; for Boarding, pet parent/owner interactions with me take place outside my home. Pets are never left unattended while outside. While you're away I will send you photos of your pets so you can see how they're doing. I only care for pets from the same home unless you request otherwise (e.g. you request sitting for you and a friend's pet who already knows yours). My pup is crated when I'm away but I'll do whatever you do with your dog while you're out. If your dog has separation anxiety I might recommend house sitting to help ease their anxiety.

Information Pamela R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their routine, triggers/reactivity issues (e.g. people, dogs, squirrels), walking habits, what games they like, where they like/dislike being pet, and where they sleep so I can be mindful of those things while we're together.

A typical day

I have an unfenced yard but a long line so pets can run free if we're playing fetch or they just want to sniff around. If they're up for it we'll also explore nearby trails.

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of experience (6+ on Rover) taking care of pets of various species, breeds, ages, sizes, abilities, and health needs. I've done countless overnights as well as month-long sits. Tell me about your pet's routines, needs, quirks, triggers/reactivity issues (e.g. people, dogs, wildlife), joys, and I'll do my best to replicate what you do at home.

My Simon settled in quickly. Pamela sent me regular updates with awesome photos. I'll absolutely be sending Simon to stay there again.

This was our dog’s second stay with Pamela and he was very happy to see her. Pamela sent a lot of pictures and provided updates which we appreciated so much. She is always quick to respond and very observant of any special needs.

Pamela was a wonderful care provider for Goose. She provided timely updates and photos throughout his stay with her putting me at ease despite our first time booking with her. Picked up Goose happy and exhausted from hours of play with his new buddy Moose. We look forward to booking with Pamela in the near future! Thank you Pamela and Moose for a great experience!

Pam did an excellent job of looking after our dog Rory! She gave her regular walks and meals and sent us pics to show us Rory was well. Pam is a nice person and I would trust her to care for my dog again!

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.
