Pet care experience

Calm, Trustworthy Pet Buddy

Pet parents who are first time Rover users, ask about my $20 off promo link! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had an easy connection with them. I’ve helped care for friends’ and family’s pets for years. Dogs, cats, even the occasional oddball rescue: they always seem to relax around me right away. I live alone in a comfortable apartment with plenty of open space and time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’m patient, calm, and tuned in to their needs. Your pet will have a peaceful, friendly place to stay and someone who genuinely enjoys their company.

Steven was great! My dog is pretty calm, but Steven was able to handle his medical issues. He was very responsive whenever I texted and sent pictures of my dog, which was reassuring! He'll divinely be my first choice the next time I need someone to take care of my boy!

Listened to all my concerns regarding my Queenie’s care and took good care of her. My baby was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you!

Schedule

I work from home and have plenty of free time, so I’m around most days and nights. My schedule’s really flexible — I can usually adjust to fit your pet’s routine, whether that means early walks, evening feedings, or just extra company during the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m always happy to send updates so you can relax knowing they’re good.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet North Green Valley apartment complex with plenty of open space and a small rock garden area with trees where pets can explore on leash. I’m about half a mile from Sunset Park, so walks and outdoor time are easy to fit in. My home’s calm, clean, and free of clutter — no other pets or roommates, so it’s a low-stress environment for animals to settle in and feel comfortable. I always keep a close eye on pets when we’re outside and make sure they’re safe, leashed, and secure indoors. You can count on consistent updates and a peaceful space where your pet’s well-being comes first.

A typical day

I take dogs to the park and will get them bones or pig ears to chew on while hanging out inside if it doesn’t conflict with their diet. Cats are more relaxed and stay inside, but I will play with them if the owner includes toys they like.

Know that I have 3 boarding slots available in my home. If your pet(s) don’t get along with other animals, they can be separated by a dog gate, fed and walked separately free of charge. If that doesn’t work for your animal, a $50 fee per slot can be paid for your pet(s) to have the place to themselves for the duration of their stay. Naturally, owners with 1 pet will need to pay for 2 slots, and owners with 2 pets boarding will only need to pay for 1 slot. Thank you for understanding! ❤️ Let me know if your dog has any special needs that need to be accounted for in the chat so I’ll both be aware of them and have a record of exactly what they need to refer back to. Finally, If your dog is not house-trained, and/or has issues with going to the bathroom on leash, I’m not the sitter for you, as I do not have a fenced yard! Thank you 🙏
