Pets Treated Like Family

I've been caring for pets for many years, both my own and those of family and friends. I treat every pet like they're part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and patience they deserve. Whether it's dog walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping them company, I'm committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own. During house sitting and drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box cleaning or yard cleanup, and plenty of love and attention. During dog walks, I'll make sure your dog gets safe exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of positive interaction. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

We had a wonderful experience with Rover! Our pets were well cared for, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and it was clear our pets were happy and comfortable. We came home to relaxed, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would definitely book again and highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care.

Stephen would be a great addition to Rover. He loves all animals and has four very spoiled pets of his own. Stephen is kind, responsible and very dependable. He would be my first call to babysit my fur babies .

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have the flexibility to provide dependable, consistent care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. My goal is to be reliable, responsive, and available when you need me most.

I always want to learn about the pet’s daily routine, personality, and specific needs. Important things to know include feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, health concerns, allergies, and any special instructions from the owner. I would also want to understand the pet’s temperament, how they interact with people and other animals, any fears or behaviors to be aware of, and what helps them feel comfortable and secure. Knowing their normal habits, favorite activities, and preferences helps me provide care that keeps them happy and reduces stress while their owner is away. I would also collect emergency contact information, veterinarian details, and any instructions for unexpected situations so I can provide safe and dependable care.
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.
