A typical day

I understand the importance of physical stimulation. Dogs will be walked at least twice a day. We love playing fetch, scavenger games, and use feeding puzzles when needed. Your pups feeding needs will be accommodated, whether they are a grazer or can scarf down a bowl a food in 2 minutes.

Dogs in our home are family

Pet care experience

With over 20 years of being a dog mom and volunteering for dog rescues, there is little I have not/cannot do for your pup. I am able to administer meds, at least two long daily walks, ample play time and lots of belly rubs. Experienced in effective humane dog training. I am currently on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week, but I work 5 min from home and come home for furry family potty breaks. I do not work weekends.

Thanks to Sandra for working with us to take care of Luna. Luna had great care. We look forward to having Sandra help us in the future.

We had a great experience with Emma. She is very communicative and punctual and was very caring with our animals. I wholeheartedly endorse her as an ideal care provider and she will be at the top of our list the next time we need help with our animals.

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.
