Pet care experience

Meet Your Pet’s Second-Best Friend!

Hello! I am a UNCW Biology graduate that has always held a strong passion for animals. My coursework has included a four-course certificate program centered around public access training service dogs. After earning my certificate, I spent 2 more years volunteering with the dogs and puppies and earned an additional certificate in puppy development. I've grown up with dachshunds and currently own a 6-year old chow mix named Kyra and a 2-year old dachshund named Scully. On walks, I use an app which both tracks the time and distance traveled, but also donates a small amount of money to a selected animal organization depending on the duration and distance. Growing up, I had the opportunity to pet-sit and walk for several neighborhood families over summer break and have loved pet care ever since. I look forward to sharing great experiences with pups of all shapes and personalities! Besides dogs, I am also a cat lover and I have experience with several types of exotics, including small mammals, small reptiles, and small birds. I am also a pet photographer and a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority. I take care when entering and exiting houses to ensure no escape artists slip through. I don’t allow greetings with neighbor dogs during our walks, as it is a safety concern to let dogs I have not met interact with the dog I’m caring for.

Schedule

Pet care is my full time job. I am available daily but I do have a pretty solid weekly rotation of dog walks set in place, so specific times may not always be available.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sophia can host up to 9 drop-ins per day
Your dog’s energy level, size, and reaction triggers (such as other dogs, squirrels, or bikes) are important for me to know so I can prepare accordingly. Any relevant medical information, such as allergies or injuries is very helpful.
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.
