Safety, trust & environment

I have diagnosed ocd so if you give me a list I will stick to it. I try to go above and beyond when it comes to care and that extra step. Bonding with the animal and understanding their specific personality is highly important to me.

Information Willow S. would like to know about your pet

I try to be flexible when it comes to special needs and specific instruction just be sure to communicate! I like a wide range of breeds and am used to all levels of social.

A typical day

What a dog will need in a day depends a lot on the individual. I am here for the energetic ones who need to be active all day, the elders who need specific feeding and limited activity, and everywhere in between. Don’t be afraid to ask for additional services like homage food, mail trimmings, or a bath.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a wide variety of animals but especially cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting and walking as a side hustle since freshman year of high school in 2016. I moved out and got certified as a wag walker in early 2023. It’s been a great side hustle over the years and I’ve picked up additional skills like training and grooming. I also have two cats as an adult. What has changed currently is leaving my full time job in hopes of connecting with things I love like animals. My parents no longer live in state and I miss my dog friends.

Willow is fantastic with animals, she is kind, patient and very caring. My dog can be prone to anxiety if I travel, but Willow was wonderful. Communication was always plentiful and lots of pics during the booking. Would love to rebook for future travel trips.

Incredible! Neo my 12 year old Schnauzer was paid such close attention! In just one visit they already feel like family and they took the time to get to know his personality and needs. Sent me so many great photos doing all kinds of things on their walks, in the yard, cuddling, etc. I felt sooo great about being able to step away for my family while he was watched so closely and with so much love!

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.
