Pet care experience

**PLS READ SCHEDULE UPDATE IN AVAILABILITY SECTION THANK YOU!! Trustworthy and caring pet sitter who is ready to have fun with your dog/pet or chill around the house with some cuddles! I have 4 years of dog/pet sitting experience through this app. **Please note for transparency: my rate is in consideration of the fee applied to my earnings for each booking. I’m open to discussing an alternative rate for a more accessible booking for you and your pet(s) I am flexible on scheduling a time for a meet and greet if needed. Also very understanding of circumstances or last minute changes. Things happen! I am also open in creating an ongoing weekly/monthly schedule for your pets as an option as well and that includes while you are away on vacation during the summer, winter, fall, and spring! All pets should be cared for and I want to help you care for yours! Thank 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.
