About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals, my patience, and my genuine commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I grew up around animals and volunteered for three years at NAWS, a no-kill animal shelter in Mokena, Illinois, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I also have experience with pet sitting and grooming, and I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine, recognizing their individual needs, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I am happy to work with energetic puppies, help reinforce basic training and positive behaviors, and provide gentle, patient care for senior pets who may need extra attention. I take feeding schedules, exercise, medication instructions when applicable, and safety seriously. I also understand how important it is to keep pet parents updated and reassured while they are away. My goal is not simply to watch your pet, but to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for, just as they would at home. 🐾 I am flexible and will work around your schedule. I am currently in Winsconsin for the summer and working part time so I am widely available. Currently I am unable to host as I live in a dorm however I am more than happy to walk your dog or petsit !

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rome City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
