Pet care experience

Don't fret, safe care for your pet!

Over the years I have owned dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, and a tarantula. I have helped friends and family care for their pets since I was a child. My "special skill," honestly, is that I genuinely care and want to do a good job for you and for your pet.

Sarah once again helped out when my regular sitter went out of town for four days. I truly appreciate her service and will rely on her again if needed in the future.

Sarah is great! She sent photos from her visits and reported back to me about specific concerns I have with one of my cats. I will hire her again if she is available.

Sarah was a thoughtful, communicative, and consistent caregiver for Simon. We'll definitely be asking for her help again in the future.

Sarah was really fantastic. It was our first time leaving our cat, Simon, after moving to Durham. She was extra mindful of how he was doing and communicated well. She even went back to check on him one additional time, outside of her commitment, when we got anxious. Would highly recommend working with her!

Schedule

I have a lot of flexibility with my work. I am looking for activities that will keep me busy, offer some meaning, and support my desire to be physically active. What could be a better use of time than hanging out with doggies and kitties?!

Let me know if your pet has special preferences or needs. I think the key will be open communication so that I can do a good job for you.
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.
