Information Rachael D. would like to know about your pet

I generally like to know their temperament and what you/they are looking for out of their time with me. Do they have any special needs, dietary restrictions?

A typical day

I tailor each pets visit to what the owner and pet need. If your dog needs a casual stroll around your neighborhood or a more vigorous uphill climb, we do it. I like to let them set the pace and the mood-- are we exploring for scents? Are we on a mission? We find out together.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets since 2001 and love every kind of fur baby! Sadly, I can’t have dogs where I live, so I love to get my puppy fix by helping your pets when you can’t!

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.
