Since joining Rover in 2017 I have sat for 20+ families! Before discovering Rover, my love for animals and reliability have made me the go-to sitter for friends and colleagues. I grew up helping foster animals and caring for family pets. That, as well as experience in property management has made house-sitting and pet-sitting natural work for me. I have cared for dogs large and small, in addition to cats, birds, fish, and other small critters! I am always learning more about animal behavior and training as I have a heartfelt passion for our furry friends. I know how pets are truly a part of your family, and will treat your loved ones with the utmost kindness and respect. I am happy to provide whatever care works best for you, and make your pets’ well-being my highest priority. I can maintain any training they are learning, and provide warmth and affection to comfort while you’re away. I presently cannot care for pets in my home. When I am visiting your home or walking your dog, they will be secure at all times. I will check fences and play areas, and keep dogs leashed on all walks. If your pets and home require specific safety precautions, I accommodate to the best of my ability. At the end of an overnight stay, I try to leave a clean environment. I am happy to respect any health & safety requirements of your household.
