I currently work part time and choose my own schedule. With enough notice, I could adjust my hours to ensure a pet is well taken care of. The rest of the time, I generally work on my master’s degree from home.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with a family dog my whole life and have had my own dog up until a few years ago. I would love to get another dog at some but for now I am happy to hang out with other people’s pets. I work and live in Halifax west end. My schedule is fairly flexible, I often study from home when I am not at work. I am in a quiet neighbourhood in a house with a partially fenced yard. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. When not at work, I can usually be found on some sort of outdoor adventure. I would love to take your dog out for a hike :)

Sarah’s home was clean and tidy, she presented herself as a kind and responsible woman. I felt confident my dog would be happy and safe staying with her. She posted photos and recorded their walks. My dog returned home clean and happy. My dog has a great day with Sarah and I would definitely work with her again.

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.
