For the Love of Dogs <3

Highly experienced dog owner and pet sitter (over 17 years of experience walking dogs and staying overnight). Dog mom to a nine year old rescue named Tippy, whom I raised from the time he was 15 weeks old. College graduate--degree in Biological Sciences. Former (human) Dermatological Medical Assistant and Real Estate Agent, now working as a server with a flexible schedule. Nine years experience working at a pool where dogs come for aquatic exercise, be it for rehab, long term orthopedic issues, or just taking the edge off! Sensitive and aware of different dogs' temperaments and needs, and able to accommodate effectively any dog. My favorite places to walk dogs are Eastport, Downtown Annapolis and Quiet Waters Park, but will be happy to walk in any neighborhood. I work hard on obedience with my dog, and have taught my dog and other dogs many "tricks"--I enjoy mental exercise with dogs the same as I enjoy the physical exercise. Much experience with (and MUCH LOVE for) geriatric animals! Other animals I have cared for: cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, snakes, frogs. Yes, I love dogs, but I don’t discriminate! **CARING FOR YOUR PETS IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!** I do not plan on letting my dog, family, or friends accompany me on any jobs unless otherwise discussed with you, the pet owner. Honesty, accountability, and doing what I love are what all my values are based on. "If you are lucky enough to own a dog, then you are lucky enough!"

Safety, trust & environment

During our Meet and Greet, I discuss with owner about the pets’ specific needs and typical routine. ***Please also be sure to fill out all information in the app correctly (photos, address, pet info and care instructions), as this will help me to help you! I do not typically book with clients without meeting first.*** PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO HOLD YOUR KEY. Please provide a lockbox or code for access instead. This is for liability reasons and the safety of everyone.

Please be sure to fill out all profile information before our Meet and Greet visit. Is your pet a rescue? No breed preferences, but would like to know possible/definitive breed(s) to help me better understand the temperament of the animal. How does your dog typically react to other dogs, people, squirrels, rabbits, etc? Is your pet sociable? Generally, for safety and liability reasons, when I am walking a dog we don't greet other dogs or humans. Does your pet have any known medical conditions? Who is your pet's veterinarian? What vaccinations has your dog received and when?
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.
