Pet care experience

Healthcare to Pet Care 🐾

Healthcare worker taking a break from humans to care for little and big floofs. 🐾 I’m an experienced Rover sitter offering dependable drop-ins and dog walks for everything from tiny couch potatoes to giant breeds. I’m comfortable with multi-pet homes, senior pets, cats, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience. I’m punctual, communicative, and treat every visit like I’d want someone to treat my own pets — potty breaks, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, scratches, and plenty of updates for you. As a Respiratory Therapist, staying calm, paying attention to details, and showing up when people are counting on me are pretty much built into me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I work nights as a Respiratory Therapist and spend my days helping pets get some love, fresh air, and potty breaks while their humans are at work. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks, not boarding, so your pets get care right in the comfort of their own home. I live with my own furry crew — a 13-year-old yellow lab named Sage, a 3-year-old golden doodle named Finn, and an 11-year-old cat named Samson.

Thank you to Shanda for taking care of Hazel all these months. Even though we are leaving we will not forget you and all the kindness and love you’ve given to my sweet girl. We will miss you!

As always, the boys (my 2 cats) were well cared for and happy- my apartment was spotless, which is above and beyond what was expected- Shanda was wonderful and I relaxed on vacation without any worries about my two sweeties. Thank you so much for the peace of mind.

To make drop-in visits as smooth as possible, please share anything that helps me understand your pet’s routine and personality — feeding times, potty habits, favorite toys, or any special quirks or triggers (like anxiety, leash reactivity, or shyness with new people). I’m an experienced, dependable sitter who follows your pet’s normal schedule closely so they stay comfortable in their own home. The more details you share — from where you keep their leash to how they like to be greeted — the happier and more relaxed your pet will be while you’re away. 🐾
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.
