Pet care experience

I love puppies! All ages & sizes!

Dogs have always been so inspirational to me. They are always there for us, and will love us no matter what. Their selfless, giving spirit is nothing short of amazing! It’s always made me want to do what I can to give back, so being a dog sitter really is a dream come true for me! I love the fact that I can put a smile on a dog’s face when they’re in need, and give back to my community all in the same stay. I just can’t wait to meet all the new fur friends out there! I’ve been taking care of pups all throughout my life, however I could manage to do it. I’ve been a long-time dog owner, and loved every minute of it. Getting to watch a puppy grow into being an amazing dog is such a great experience! I’ve also been a volunteer for animal rescues and shelters, and I can’t tell you how rewarding that was. It really ignited a passion in me to help animals out in need, and I loved helping them transition to their forever families. There’s just nothing like a dog that knows that they are loved! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that strong communication is one of the keys to a good stay. For me, that beings before your pup comes into my care! I like to get as much information from you during the meet or per email. That way, I can learn just what makes your pup tick! When your pup is under my care, you’ll always be kept in the loop on everything we do. I like to send regular updates throughout the day, and am happy to keep you updated on things like behavior, meal prep, exercise times, and anything else you need to feel like your pup is in good hands. Likewise, those updates will always include accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together!

Schedule

I am blessed enough to have a barn out in Southwest Ranches where I take care of all types of critters. I work with a local rescue that trusts me to foster, so working from home and playing with your fur-baby all day is just a normal day for me.

Safety, trust & environment

My farm has tons of space for your fur-baby to run around and just have a great day! Even if they cannot be outside for long, we have our home on property for a great AC hang out.

Pets

A typical day

Your pup and I would be going for walks every morning, afternoon, and night. He will even get a little free time from the leash outside, we will enjoy the park. At home we will have some snuggle time and of course my favorite tug-of-war! My schedule is pretty open and everything I do he will be able to travel with me. I love to stay active, so your pooch will be right at home with me if they like to get tons of exercise. I partake in 10k and half-marathon races all the time, so my free time is dedicated to training for those. That means that your pup is totally welcome to come along for a run if they’re up to it! I live in Palm Trace in Davie in a three bedroom apartment, and I have lots of space for a pup to run around in. I’ll always have fun toys to your pup to play around in and dog beds for a lovely nap. When we head out, there is all sorts of good stuff to do outside! There are running trails for the bigger pups who like to run & a beautiful dog park where we will play at least 1-2 times a day. Your pooch will love the warm environment I provide!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
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.
