Pet care experience

Dog Lover/Former Pet Hotel Employee

I am huge animal lover, and have owned dogs throughout my whole life. Because of my love of animals, I ended up working at a dog daycare/pet hotel called Ruff for 1.5 years whilst living in Napa Valley (photos are included in my gallery). Here, it was my responsibility to walk, feed, bathe, watch over, and give medication to people’s cats and dogs. I also gained experience working with many different breeds and animals with specialized needs. Additionally, I have been a pet/house sitter for multiple families throughout the years and I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s) as well!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to ensuring the safety of your pet, I will make sure to clarify and follow the instructions provided by you. I know that maintaining a pet’s daily routine is highly important for their wellbeing while their parents are away. This is why I am sure to feed, walk, give medications to, and provide water for pets according to the routine times that are provided. I will give them lots of love and affection, and give them as much playtime as they need throughout the day. I provide updates on how my clients pets are doing and send photo updates as well. It is also important to me that I clean up after your pet, as well as myself to be sure that your home is the same as you left it.

My husband and I had the blessing of using Race as our trusted dog and house sitter off and on until we moved away. Race was always so kind and gentle to my dogs - they were very comfortable with her and we knew we did not have to worry about them under her care. In addition to sleeping in our house while we were gone, Race also had the responsibility of dispensing medication to one of my dogs three times a day. Race was a great communicator while we were away sending us photos and videos of her time with our dogs. This made us feel more at ease while being gone. We also had cameras around our house and while we did not monitor her every moment of every day, what we saw made us happy to have her in our home. Race also did other small things around our house for us such as bring in the mail and water some plants outside for us. At the time, my husband had a job that made us very cautious about who we would feel comfortable having in our home while away, but I can say that we trusted Race 100%. I would highly recommend Race as a pet sitter!

Please let me know if your dog has any particular behaviors to look out for, or if there is anything that I should avoid (for example: fear of strangers, anxiety around other dogs while on walks, etc.). Also please let me know if your dog has any specific needs (e.g. needs help going up and down stairs, is partially deaf, etc.). And of course, please let me know if they take any medications and how you’d normally administer them (e.g with food or a treat).
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.
