I'm happy to provide pictures throughout the time that I'm caring for them to help you feel at ease. Let me know what works for you and your family and I'm sure we can work it out.

A typical day

I like to play fetch, take long walks, and cuddle. If they have a favorite toy, I'll play with them and engage with them that way. I love to talk to them and enjoy their responses. I like to follow the lead of the pet's normal routines, and am happy to brush their fur, utilize a puzzle feeder if you have one, and spend quality time with them so they'll be comfortable and happy.

Pet care experience

Hi, I have an undergraduate degree in Animal Science (Rutgers), where an internship led to several years working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Before I became a social worker, I was a Veterinary technician and Pet groomer for twenty three years. I often took care of clients' dogs and cats in my house. Medication is no problem, including blood glucose testing and insulin injections for our diabetic friends. I am mature, reliable, and responsible, and I look forward to keeping your pet healthy and happy until you return!

Sharyn is great! We hadn't used Rover in awhile but once we decided that we needed a sitter, we knew exactly who our first choice was. She treats your home and pets with great care.

Sharyn was an amazing caregiver for our two cats one of whom is diabetic and needs insulin injections. She gave us details about how they were doing during check ins and lots of cute pics. She even offered to take out our garbage on garbage day and brought in some packages that arrived while we were gone. We would highly recommend her and hire her again in a heart beat.

Once again, Sharyn came to the rescue! I completely forgot we were going somewhere for Mother's Day and I contacted her last minute and she saved the day. She was in constant contact since she was en route home from a trip and wasn't sure if she'd hit traffic so she kept me posted the whole time. Send me the BEST pictures and the cutest report card. I am so grateful for Sharyn!!

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.
