Experienced Full-Time Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I started professionally working with pets in 2019 and have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had the chance to work with many different personalities and needs, and I especially enjoy caring for senior and special-needs pets. I’m experienced with senior care, including helping pets with mobility issues or low appetite, administering medications, and expressing bladders when needed. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to routines and behavioral changes. I’m naturally calm and introverted, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships with animals. I love spending quality time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m always learning more about animal care and take my responsibilities seriously. My priority is to give pet parents peace of mind by providing dependable, thoughtful, and loving care.

Winnie is a professional dog sitter who did an amazing job with Lily. She kept us updated regularly on how our dog was doing, including details like walks, bathroom breaks, and overall behavior, which we really appreciated. She followed all the instructions we left and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that Lily was well cared for and in great hands. Honestly, she’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the near future!

We cannot speak highly enough of Winnie and her care for our pup and home while house sitting. Being away from our pup is incredibly stressful for our family but Winnie's care, experience and communication gave us so much relief that our pup was in amazing hands. We are incredibly lucky to have found Winnie and a million times, yes, to the question of whether we will be booking with Winnie again!

Winnie was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She gave them tons of attention and made sure they were mentally stimulated. She also sent us thorough updates after each drop-in, which relieved a lot of our anxieties. I would definitely rehire her, and I highly recommend her if you want someone who takes care of your pets like they’re her own.

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.
