We both wake up early and let the pups out supervised in the fenced yard before breakfast. While the yard is fenced, we do keep a constant eye on them as they roam from the house to the yard throughout the day. Afternoon naps on the couch are typical. We usually go on early evening walks around the neighborhood if your pup has an exercise routine you’d like them to stick to. If they are good in public we are happy to take them on hikes.

Pet care experience

I have spent my entire life with at least one dog in the household. I currently own two of my own that are ready to welcome slumber pawty guests! I have used Rover for years so I know what I like in a sitter, and plan to extend those same qualities and perks to our guests. My partner Ryan also works from home most days, and has also owned and cared for dogs and cats over the years.

We always know our Rigby is in good hands with Serena. She is patient with his sometimes distrusting and shy behavior. As a true dog lover she understands sometimes the little guys like Rigby (7.5 lb chihuahua mix) can have their quirks. Her own 2 dogs, Patat and Pinda are also great with him. They are gentle and let him be the boss despite being 3 times larger. All dogs, large and small will be cared for like they are one of her own.

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.
