Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care for every kind of pet!
Hi! I'm a graduate student with many years of experience in animal care (I've been on Rover since 2020, and worked with animals for years prior to that!). I have personal and professional experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from hermit crabs to horses (and lots of critters in between!). Please feel free to inquire about pricing for services not listed. For dog owners specifically: I am comfortable handling a variety of dog breeds (I don't discriminate!), ages, sizes, personality types, and behavioural quirks. I have a valid certification in canine and feline first aid by Walks 'N' Wags. This certification reflects my understanding of prevention of illness/injury in dogs and cats, my recognition of signs of common illness/injury, and my ability to perform first-aid skills (including CPR) on dogs and cats. I treat every animal as though they were my own. In particular, I am always mindful of animals' body language, and I am careful to handle animals in a way that minimizes their anxiety and maximizes their comfort. It is important to me to listen to animals' communication so that I can honour their needs and boundaries and can build a mutually trusting relationship. You can rest assured that your pet will be in loving, capable hands and that I understand how important they are to you!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I maintain a clean, safe environment and make sure there is nothing lying around in the home that pets can get into. I am especially careful to safely store all food, garbage, and medications. Before starting a sit, I always ask owners where their pets normally stay (e.g., in a crate or in a pet-proofed part of the house) when they are home alone, and I uphold their usual routine when I have to leave pets home alone. I do my best to respond to owners' messages promptly, especially while their pets are in my care!
Ratings and reviews
Rosalie was professional and attentive, and sent updates with photos that made me feel confident that my cat was well cared for with her. Definitely recommend!
Rosalie watched our large sized dog overnight and they had a blast. She sent plenty of updates and pictures, and asked questions if instructions weren’t clear. Thanks Rosalie so much! Hope you can watch our girl again soon.
Rosalie took great care of our kitty, and gave us great peace of mind leaving her for a long trip for the first time. Would not hesitate to rebook with her!
We love Rosalie
Very professional - great communication, accommodating of all needs of my cat. Would definitely contact her for future
Rosalie is always excellent with Opal. Highly recommend her.

Schedule
I am generally available to provide services on both weekdays and weekends. I do about 50% of my academic work on campus and about 50% from home. While working from home, I am very flexible with my schedule, so I prioritize keeping pets' routines as consistent as possible.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsRosalie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know about your pet's basic care instructions, personality, and vaccination status, as well as any present or recent health concerns (including allergies). Please also let me know how long your pet is comfortable being home alone for. I will do my best to accommodate every pet's routine, and the more information I have about them upfront, the more easily I can do that!
