Availability

I have lots of time to care for your pet. I a full time pet caregiver with a side hobby of writing. Your pet will be the center while in my care. For overnights if we have not walked before I prefer pets under 20lbs. If we know each other larger dogs are ok. I don't want to put your pet or my current pets in uncomfortable situations.

Information Tanja J. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog is comfortable around other dogs. Are there any health concerns, or general quirks. For example my dog is afraid of sudden loud noises. This is a great way for me to be of better service. If your pet will be boarded it would be great to have them stop by for a visit first if possible. If not, I will make sure your pet feels safe and have separate area they can be in if there are any conflicts. Your dog or cat won't be alone.

A typical day

I like to walk neighborhoods with sidewalks. A favorite is Haller Lake or other parks near your home. I also love to throw the ball for fetch lovers. I have access to a private beach so if your pup likes swimming we can get some lake time in. If they like to lounge around they will get lots of scratches.

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.
