Pet care experience

Dogs, cats, horses - you name it!

I grew up in the countryside. My extended family were all dog owners: Labradors, Great Danes and Afghan Hounds. We also had 4 cats and 4 Icelandic horses. As an adult I have taken care of friends´ dogs and cats during college. As a pro I always offer a Meet & Greet, so that dogs will recognise my scent and so that cats don't hide upstairs during a drop in. For unknown reasons I am wildly popular with pets, hence this service offer!

Safety, trust & environment

A lot of animals have their own quirks, and there isn´t a one-size-fits-all answer for esp. dogs who fear being alone or "abandoned". I follow owner´s guidance closely but am also good at reading the room. When I see dog walkers staring down at their phones, I always think it´s such a missed opportunity, even if it´s not your own dog! With drop ins I always stay the full time (unless there are agreed upon reasons not to), often I stay longer and take plenty of pictures to document us having a good time. That tends to be easy to achieve!

Thomas took great care of our kitty while we were away for 10 days, leaving us detailed notes and lots of pictures!

Schedule

I am self-employed and can generally be available without having to rearrange other priorities. We don´t have kids, so we´re a flexible household. I bike around to make the drop in or dog walk eco-friendly too.

It’s important to talk about quirks, likes, and dislikes beforehand. What’s a favorite toy or game? Does the pet get anxious when left alone or try to escape when you arrive? Rover is great for communicating with owners, so just pop me a message if something comes to mind.
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.
