Pet care experience

Loving care when you can't be there

Animal Sciences undergraduate on the pre-veterinary track. Began pet-sitting in 2019. Small Animal Critical Care Attendant in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center since January 2026. 300+ hours as an Animal Care Attendant at Silver Maple Pet Center (Doggy Daycare and Boarding). My volunteer work with the Mizzou Service Dog Club (through Retrieving Freedom Inc.) and Central Missouri Humane Society has provided me with an abundance of training and handling experience with dogs of all different behaviors, breeds, and training levels. Experienced in animal care, handling, training, and support!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with pet and babysitting, both of which have given me the skills to keep your home and your pet safe, comfortable, clean, and organized. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to keep yours clean! I also have experience in animal medicine for animals that require medication, special handling, and/or emergencies.

Schedule

I work as a Manager at Crazy Bowls and Wraps 5 days a week and I shadow at McCauley Animal Clinic 1 day a week. I am able to feed, walk, and provide potty breaks before and after my shifts. I am able to stay overnight for all House-Sitting bookings. Animal care is my passion and it is my priority to make as much time for my clients’ pets as possible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Willa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if your pet requires any medication or special care. It would be beneficial for all parties involved if my clients would share specifics about their pet, such as favorite toys, activities, etc. It is imperative that I am aware of any aggression and/or triggers (food, stranger, barrier, etc.) beforehand.
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.
