Love all the DOGS and cats

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole adult life, from puppies to seniors. I’ve been caring for (walking, sitting, etc) friends and family pets for 20 years. I have been a foster home for dogs that are medically fragile/post surgery. Lost my dog 2 years ago and want to spend more time with dogs/have a flexible schedule which allows me to do so.

Rachel did a great job with our dog. I got pictures regularly and she communicated well. My dog seemed well cared for when we got home. Great sitter.

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.
