I work 40 hours a week remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can let the dogs out to play on my 10-minute breaks and at lunch, as well as morning/evening walks and play. I am usually around evenings.

About Rosie A.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I gather as much information as possible about an animal's routine, preferences, play styles or favorite games, and emotional and physical needs. I keep my client updated with photos and messages about their animal at the frequency they prefer, so they feel comfortable and confident that their animal is safe and happy.
Information Rosie A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about medication, mobility issues (do they need help up the stairs or onto the bed), or recurring health conditions. For example, I've had a dog with really sensitive pads that tore easily, and another with allergies who'd get irritable skin. If your animal has behavioral issues like separation anxiety or is leash reactive, please let me know how you help your dog cope. And of course, what is calming, comforting, and fun for your animals.
A typical day
I look to pet parents for pointers on what their animals love to do, since each animal is individual. For one dog I've cared for, playing with her Chuck-It in all weather was all she wanted. For another dog getting used to a new environment, I hid treats around the apartment to help her breathe more deeply as she snuffled for them and to relax in her new surroundings. For a certain cat, I'll dance a peacock feather or stuffed mouse around her head for her to grab at. And for some dogs, I'll freeze a stuffed Kong to keep them entertained and help them settle down after a play session. On walks, I allow dogs to take their time smelling their environment because this is very enriching and relaxing for them.

Work from home, pets aren't alone!
Pet care experience
I'm a full-time remote worker, so your pets will have constant company and frequent play/potty breaks. I have six years of experience with large, active dogs, including some separation anxiety. I grew up with cats and love them too. I love exercising active, playful animals, as well as hanging out with the more relaxed or senior critters. Is your dog or cat used to sleeping in the bed? No problem; love to snuggle. I'm a mature professional who enjoys leaving your home in better condition than when you left on your trip. I sometimes get asked if I smoke. I don't smoke anything :) I've also been asked if I drink during a sit. I don't because of personal preference and, more importantly, because if your animal needed emergency medical care, I need to be able to drive them to a vet. Since I bring my work setup to sits, my preference is stays of at least three nights.
Cat care experience
Rosie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Rosie took fantastic care of our dogs and our home while we were out of town. She was thrown some curveballs (my girl starting her heat cycle, as well as caring for an injured toe) and took them in stride. Her communication was great, and the dogs love her. Looking forward to having her back.
Rosie is AMAZING. When it comes to having peace of mind when traveling, she’s your gal. She is so caring of your fur baby as well as your home. She provides clear communications and daily updates. House was spotless upon our return and our pup already misses her! 5 Stars!
Rosie is a dream! She is consistent, reliable and takes great care of our home and pets. We always appreciate returning to a pristine home that always looks better than the way we left it.
Rosie was great watching our dogs for a long weekend. We really appreciated how methodical and attentive she was, asking and taking notes on all the little parts of their foods/meds/routine/preferences. We felt really comfortable having her in our home and trusting her with our doggos. Would recommend and would work with again.
