I’ve been caring for family pets since I was 13. I grew up with Collies, a Golden Retriever, a couple cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, and ducks. My husband and I currently have a 12-year old German Shepherd, a 13-year old Bombay cat, and two 3-month old tuxedo kitten siblings. We previously cared for one Pomeranian / Chihuahua for 14 years, and 6 cats over the course of 30 years. I love animals, their genuine kindness, comfort, and companionship. When you book with me, you are placing a great deal of trust in me and my skills. My online reviews are a testament to my personal character and to the dedication I have to current and former clients. You can rest assured that I will arrive on time, stay the entire amount of time you paid for, and genuinely interact with your fur babies. I have gotten on the floor to play with cats and their toys. I don’t mind throwing a slobbery ball over and over to your dog. I have no problem cleaning litter boxes and cleaning any pet accidents. I don’t mind if your house smells like animals or if you think your home is messy. I am not there to judge. I am there to take care of your pet(s). I will talk to your animals like they are little babies. I have had great success in getting skittish animals to trust me and come to me for pets, as I am very patient. I take lots of photos and videos and provide detailed updates, as this is what I would want from a Rover sitter. Photos are nice, but videos can help ease any anxiety you may have about leaving your pet(s) with me. Being a Rover sitter since December 2024 has been life changing for me. It has positively impacted my mental health and given me a greater purpose in life. Seeing your pets and interacting with them brings me immense joy. I also have a passion for serving others. It is a win-win for everyone.
