Aspiring dog whisperer
Pet care experience
I love dogs and cats! I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses and have two dogs and a cat. I work remotely and so I’m able to to keep an eye on your little ones throughout the day. I’ve been on Rover for years, and have absolutely adored meeting new dogs and spending time with fur-babies. It’s my fav side hustle and an excuse to snuggle all the little ones!
Reviews
SJ was so attentive and loving with our bundle of joy. Highly reccommend!
Although my review is alittle late. This sitter was amazing with my dog! More than happy to stop by as much as I asked, super respectful & polite & just amazing energy all around. Would HIGHLY recommend, thank you SJ!!
So friendly and so attentive to my pup, Paddington! She sent pictures each walk and even assisted with feeding Paddington his dinner! SJ was totally flexible with my last minute requests and was great with communication. I will absolutely use her in the future!
We were so nervous about leaving our fur babies but after meeting SJ we immediately felt better. SJ is a ray of sunshine and not only did we absolutely love her right away, so did our furbabies (including one who is particularly picky). We were gone for 3 nights and SJ did an amazing job. Our whole trip we felt at ease, especially with SJ updating us with adorable photos of our babies. I would highly recommend her especially if you were like us, nervous about using a dog sitting service for the first time.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to pets’ needs. Some pets want their space, while others need more attention and information input. I make sure to provide pets with care specific to their preferences and the owners’.
Information SJ R. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences! I would like to know how you prefer to train the dog, how the dog socializes, and if the dog chases small creatures.
A typical day
I love walking dogs around the neighborhood. I also love dog parks and can bring your dog to the park if you wish. I have lots of toys I can bring, or we can play with the dogs’ toys. Generally, I’m careful to avoid hot pavements and make sure walks are safe for the dog — I’m also experienced in caring for senior dogs and know the signs of a tired, overheating older pup. I’m very watchful for this.
Services

Availability
I’m available before or after work (9-5), although I can make exceptions if needed (or can work from your home if you’re looking for pet sitting in your home). Weekends I am usually available with notice. I am very organized, so I schedule pet sitting/walks carefully and am true to my commitments.
