Safety, trust & environment

I can't care for pets in my home, but I am able to work with and around anything that my clients have in their home. I am pretty flexible.

Information Rich S. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy watching any dog or cat, but I’d prefer to know if they are friendly, their age, how high energy they are, and if they have any special needs.

A typical day

I’m happy to stop in and check on your dog or cat. I can’t wait to take the dogs on walks around the neighborhood, maybe stop at the park and throw a ball around, or play inside with your cat!

Pet care experience

I've been in a pet-loving household all my life. I got my first dog when I was 10-ish and I've fallen in love with many animals since. I currently have 2 sweet and friendly cats that I can't get enough of. I recently lost my corgi, but he is still in my heart. I'm not ready to own another dog yet, so I would love to spoil yours!

Rich is great. He dropped in on my two cats to feed, play, and care for them while on my two week trip!

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.
