Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child, and I absolutely love all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm always happy to learn more about what makes each animal unique, and I would be happy to talk to you about how I can best support your pet care needs. I have 2 rescue dogs of my own--both with special needs (medical and behavioral)--and I have experience administering medication, utilizing mobility assistive equipment, supporting senior dogs and cats, and treating complex needs with patience and love. Friends and family have relied on me for years to care for their animals, and I'd love to learn about how I can help with yours.

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.
