I stick to your pets home routine as best as I can. I am happy to bring in mail/packages, take out curbside items, and do light plant care.

Information Rachael W. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioral issues, how they walk on a leash or harness, favorite treats, any known medical issues or allergies. I am not able to accept any dogs with aggression issues at this time. Please also let me know about any entry/parking restrictions for your residence.

A typical day

I always change up the walking route so there will be new smells and sights for your dog to enjoy. Depending on temperment, I tend to walk through parks so there is always exciting things to see and smell.

Dog and Cat Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I specialize in cats, but enjoy caring for well-behaved dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for fish, birds, chickens, and other small animals. I have experience in oral, transdermal, and injection meds as well as sub Q fluids. I’ve been Petsitting professionally for more than 10 years and have cared for my own dogs and cats my entire life. I volunteer with the Oregon Humane Society and foster kittens when I am able.

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.
