Safety, trust & environment

I am also curious about which walking paths you take your dog on as I have reflective safety gear that I wear on all of my walks, day or night, to caution traffic as I walk with your dog.

Information Sofia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any hip or joint problems. We can make sure that the walks are on mostly flat land. I have administered medication to dogs or cats via injection

A typical day

My day usually starts with pet drop-in and walk sessions, which vary in length and time based on each dog’s needs. Then, I get ready to head to my day job as a high school teacher, which is from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Once I’m done with my day job, I often need to do more check-ins and pet visits. I also have a dog-walking route scheduled for 6 p.m. before I head home to feed my own pets.

High School Teacher with SubQ kitty

Pet care experience

I’m a high school civics teacher with open availability in the evenings and free all weekend. Rover parents have allowed me to replace my broken hearing aids, now I do rover to help fund my own cats Banfield Hospital accounts. Rover has been a lifesaver! My oldest cat takes sub q fluids and I’ve given insulin and topical meds as well

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.
