I am a local realtor and taking care of clients and their homes is in my DNA. I have a pretty flexible schedule to do drop-ins, walks, and more throughout the day. I often travel and need help taking care of my two pups so I want to provide the same services to folks who are needing help.

Pet care experience

I've been Blacksburg resident since 2008. I'm a father, and realtor. My wife and I are proud pet parents to two Shih Tzu pups. Because we travel often ourselves, I truly understand how important it is to have kind, dependable, and professional care for your pets when you’re away. Caring for clients, homes, and details is in my DNA. As a realtor, trust, communication, and reliability aren’t optional, they’re the foundation of what I do every day. I bring that same mindset to caring for your pets and your home. I’m also an avid marathon runner with a flexible schedule, which means I can often accommodate last-minute walk requests. Your fur baby won't just get a quick potty break, they’ll get a safe, energetic, and engaging walk tailored to their pace and personality. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or dependable care while you’re away, you can count on someone who treats your pets like family and your home with respect.

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.
