About: I’m a daycare teacher and babysitter who absolutely loves caring for both kids and pets! I’ve dog sat twice so far, and it’s quickly become something I really enjoy. I love being around different pets—their personalities are so fun, and I’m always learning something new from each one. I’m very patient, loving, and attentive, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to keep growing in pet care and make this a regular part of what I do! I work full-time as a daycare teacher Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, but I’m still able to balance pet care reliably. When house sitting, I stay in the client’s home to ensure consistent care. I take care of pets in the mornings before work, check in during breaks when needed, and give them full attention once I’m off. I make sure they are fed, walked, and comfortable throughout the day, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being while maintaining a structured routine. On weekends I’m 100% available! I don’t have pets of my own yet! But When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get regular potty breaks and walks. I also spend time playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they feel calm and not lonely. I keep the home clean by picking up after the pet and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I also check in with updates when needed so the owner feels reassured while they’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 18. It started out as me needing extra money for college and eventually I saw a need for pet sitting services. I do have a pup of my own (he is 3) and a little boy. Rest assured your pup/cat will be in great hands. 🐶 I currently work remotely in tech which allows me the flexibility to tend to your baby/babies 24/7. I do go to the gym in the morning for about an hour and sometimes have to run to Target for a pick-up order, so that is the only time they will be left alone. I do not keep anyone’s dog/cat caged unless otherwise directed to do so. I am available for overnight/daytime services. I am here to meet your need(s). Multiple pets accepted. TIA 🐶 🐱 I have a fenced backyard, so our furry friends are free to roam around as they please. You can rest assured that your pet will be fed, at least twice a day (morning & night) unless on a specific diet/regimen that will be followed to a T and let out at least every 1-2 hours. I do have bowls/toys that your baby can play with, you would just need to provide their food.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Porterdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
