Highlights
Pet care experience
The Steve to your Blue 💙
I've had dog shaped besties since I learned to walk. They taught me how to love unconditionally, and it made animal care and advocacy my calling. I was studying veterinary medicine before I moved to Topeka, and recently I decided to take animal care back up. I also volunteer at the humane society, so I can spread that passion as wide as this community lets me. I especially love to take on the challenging cases. I have 2 pibbles, and a husky mix, so you can say I like a challenge. Be it from the bad rap their breeds carry, to actual problem behavior that needs to be adjusted, to me there is no lost cause! I dream of tails wagging and goofy tongues out as far as the eye can see!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to give trauma informed care, which means I cater the visit to your pets needs and what they're comfortable with, so that we can build a trusting relationship. After that, improvement and success is a piece of cake. Give time for pups and kits to get used to having me around... There might be a lot of bribing, but mostly trust that I will listen to our fur friend's body language as they communicate how to approach them.
Ratings and reviews
She’s always awesome and I love that she loves my boy as much as I do!!
Rosie went above and beyond for our kitties.
Rosie is absolutely the best. You won’t find anyone who cares for your beloved pets the way she does.
Rosie has been amazing with our boy and us! She gives amazing advice if you need it and is always working towards making our baby feel comfortable!
I just could not love Rosie taking care of my girl enough! She’s so patient and thoughtful. I’m so grateful to have found her here on Rover!
Rosie is amazing! She took such good care of my girl and worked much harder than she had to to gain her trust. She sent tons of pictures, had excellent communication and kept me updated the whole week. My dog is not an easy one but she handled her like a pro!

Schedule
This is my number 2 priority after my own pack of critters. I intentionally schedule in plenty of time so yours are taken care of and tongue-out-happy! For House sitting visits, I try to include at least 1 special outing to a public park, where your pup can smell all new smells and unwind from routine. Then I'll add a little spa at the end of the day, to get ready for bed (I wipe their paws, brush them and apply coconut oil to their pads and nose). For Sitting AND walking, play time is a must, as long as a safe enclosed environment is provided.

- Let me know all the details that would make our playdate successful and safe. Allergies, medical needs, behaviours, quirks, triggers, etc. I have no breed preference or restrictions. I know there is a bad rap for certain breeds, but rest assured, I don't subscribe to that nonsense. To be safe, the only thing I limit is the number of dogs I can walk at a time depending on their size.
