Pet care experience

A sitter for your furry family!

I've cared for dogs since I was 8, and began professionally pet-siting at 19 during undergrad. I have since cared for all breeds of dogs, several rodents, and cats. I have provided senior care and have experience watching up to 6 pets at once. I have also cared for dogs with a wide range of health-related issues, including mobility, blindness, seizures, and incontinence.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to keep animals in their home as thier preferred environment. I will work with the pet parents ahead of time to best understand your pet's schedule, prefered interactions, and will send daily pictures and updates! Every pet is unique, so I limit my bookings to make sure each pet I take recieves individualized attention and the highest level of care!

Sam was so great with our pup! She was dependable, loved on our dog, and communicated with us several times and sent videos. Will definitely ask her to help out again!!

Schedule

*I am fully booked until Sept. 3!* FALL AVAILABILITY | STARTS Aug. 16 Monday and Tuesday are my busiest days for my full time job, and with enough advance notice I can usually make arrangements, but it is highly dependent on amount of travel and time of day. Wednesday and Thursday I am available before and after work (usually before 9am and after 5pm), with more limited time for a 30-min. midday check in. With enough notice, or if you're close to campus, I can occasionally make a short visit during my lunch break! I work from home most Fridays, and so have a high degree of flexibility during the weekends! I work full-time, but am committed to working with pet parents to keeping their fur baby on their regular schedule as much as possible. I will send daily updates, and do my best to accommodate any special requests. Please reach out to my Rover Number if you have any questions!

I would love to know your pet's age, energy level, and regular routines. While I have significant experience caring for ageing dogs, I will need to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs so that I can be prepared to give them the best experience!
