Pet care experience

We treat 'em like FAMILY!

Upon retiring from the Federal government after 35 years, I decided that it was time for me to do what I love to do - spend time with animals. Pets have been a part of my life since I can remember - dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, squirrels, reptiles, rabbits, and horses. I have also cared for and administered medication to dogs with Anxiety issues and Epilepsy, without incident. We recently lost our special cat who blessed us for 20 years. We also lost our beloved dog of 15 years. She had arthritis in her hips and required extra help to get around. It was a challenge, but we managed to keep her at home until she was ready to go on her own. They both rest peacefully now in their cedar boxes on our fireplace, proudly watching over our family. I understand the special bond between pets and their parents and will do my best to ensure that any pet I am responsible for will have a memorable and loving experience while in my care.

Sheila was lovely and it was obvious her love for pets. She asked clarifying question regarding meal protocols/ allergy treatment etc. She demonstrated her care and concern for Bodhi and Little Sister and communicated daily. I could tell they were at ease. I greatly appreciate her going above and beyond supporting both me and them while scouting for a new home out of state. Thank you Mzzzzzz Sheila🙏🏻

Sheila came through in a pinch when my dog sitter cancelled at the last minute. She kept me updated with pics and made me feel like I was dropping my dog off with family. Definitely recommend!

Patsy had a great time at Sheila’s home. She enjoyed being with the two other small dogs in the home. Sheila provided pictures and feedback. I was originally nervous to leave my dog, but she was well cared for and fit into the household quickly. It is very apparent that Sheila loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own. I appreciate the kindness and caring that Patsy received. I highly recommend Sheila and will plan to use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Your babies will NEVER be left unattended. I am familiar with the care of many different animals, especially CATS and DOGS. We only use Distilled Water in our drinking fountains - no nasty chemicals here! We have a fenced yard and play outside frequently. We love to play ball and hunt for critters. Our two sassy girls will keep them occupied! Also, I will require a "meet and greet" before your first Stay to ensure all the babies get along 😜

Pets

A typical day

I want your babies to feel as comfortable in my home as they are in yours! When we have a sleepover at my house, your baby is welcome to sleep on the bed or couch and snuggle with us! We have a fenced yard to play FETCH and chase lizards! We love to play fetch - my dogs taught me well, as I do most of the fetching! Or, we could simply have quality LAP time and just kick back and watch a movie. I assure you that your pet will never be left unattended, confined to a crate, nor lack for attention. Lots of hugs and kisses here!!! 🥰😘💜

I prefer to let your pet decide whether or not he/she would choose ME as their caregiver. Be aware that many sitters will offer a cheaper rate, however, many of them accept animals from multiple families at the same time. I only take pets from the SAME FAMILY so you can rest assured that your baby/babies will be the CENTER OF ATTENTION while in my care. Always check the Preferences on your sitter's profile to view their policy before you book.
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.
