Pet care experience

This pooch was made for walkin'!

I have been an animal lover my entire life! In addition to caring for my own pets throughout my life, I have nearly 11 years experience as a veterinary technician, have previously worked as a part-time professional dog walker & pet sitter, as well as a bather & canine massage therapist for a professional groomer. My experience as a vet tech gives me the skills to *administer oral & injectable medications if needed & I'm able to recognize if a pet is sick, injured, or in distress. I've worked with pets of all stages of life & am capable of caring for a variety of animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits & guinea pigs. Though I'm not available to do overnight stays, I can do multiple daily drop-in visits while you are away, as well as dog walks. I can also provide **transportation to & from doggy daycare or to vet or grooming appointments. Plus, I am a certified canine massage therapist & can perform relaxing therapeutic touch on your dog! *An additional charge of $10/service will apply for any special needs care, such as administering medications, urine/fecal collection, applying/removing diapers, etc. **Base rate for transportation service is $20, plus 60 cents/mile if destination is over 5 miles from starting point. Additional charges if I'm required to stay with pet during appointments.

I do not discriminate against breeds. Before meeting a new pet, I'd like to know if they have any history of aggression. It would also be helpful to know if your pet has any current medical issues or special needs. Does your pet have any food restrictions? Do you use any specific words or phrases when walking your dog, such as "heel," "with me," "leave it," "go potty," etc? Does your dog prefer the routine of walking the same route everyday, or enjoy exploring new areas? Of course I'd like to know any fun tidbits about your pet's personality.
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.
