Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any medications your pet is on and any conditions that your pet has. It’s also helpful to know what kind of food they eat and how often, and of course any fun facts or their favorite toys!

A typical day

I typically wake up and feed Violet breakfast and then have lots of play time. We then like to cuddle on the couch and watch tv before I get ready for the day. I take lots of breaks to play with her and her favorite thing to do is play fetch (she’s a strange kitten for sure)

Pet care experience

I’ve had a dog my whole life and have helped my family take care of their pets since I was young. I recently lost my childhood dog and miss the companionship. I have a 1 year old cat, Violet, who I’ve been raising since she was just a few weeks old.

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.
