About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!

We are so grateful for Sandy taking excellent care of our house and most importantly our high maintenance pets! It was obvious they were all happy and comfortable while we were away! It seems like she really got to know each of them and helped them feel safe when we weren’t there. Sandy took the time to send us detailed updates and pictures of everyone each day, which really helped us feel secure. She was an extremely respectful house guest and left the place in better shape than when she got there.

Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.

Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!

Kieran is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I left my 3 dogs at home while away for a long weekend and Kieran was sure to send pictures and videos every single time they went outside or played, or anything! It was great. More importantly, one of my senior pups was terminally ill. I made Kieran aware of her condition and asked to be gentler with her. My second to last day of my trip, Kieran called and because marlee had started displaying alarming symptoms. After calling me, Marlee was rushed to the ER while I rushed back home. I cannot thank Kieran enough for taking my baby into his arms and living her on her final days. And I can’t thank Kieran enough for making sure I had time to get to my baby before she crossed the bridge.

Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.

Melanie is excellent - super communicative and attentive! She sent tons of update pics while we were gone and was on top of everything. My favorite is that she described my dog as a “lovey little meatball” and that is now my go-to description of him! It’s so apt. We will definitely use her again.

Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!

Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.

Bishop is a fantastic dog sitter. He was very professional from the very first meeting and he took notes of everything we went over. While we were away, he gave us daily updates on how the stay was going, along with pictures and videos to show us how much fun Nelly was having. He totally spoiled her in all the right ways! I will definitely book with Bishop in the future.

Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!

Ashly is great - she sends occasional photo updates so you know your babies are doing great and communicates quickly. She also brought in packages (even big bags of dog food and litter trays we didn’t realize were coming while we were gone) and helped keep an eye on the garden while we were out! She was also flexible with us changing dates when we wanted to get home a night sooner to see the babies!

First time Rover user and I couldn’t be happier. Paige and Cindy tag teamed watching my dog while I worked out of town for a few nights. I received updates & photos regularly (which I loved) and they truly treated my girl like she was their own. I will 100% be requesting their services again. They stayed at my home and left it tidy and even left dog tv on for my girl until I arrived home. 100 stars. Thank you ladies!!

Bella was amazing for housesitting during my two week trip! This was my first time leaving my dog alone and she made me feel so comfortable. She provided me with daily updates and photos on how he was doing! Was very attentive and nurturing with him! And made sure she asked a lot of questions beforehand so I felt comfortable she was very prepared for things I hadn’t even considered when leaving him. She is amazing with dogs. Cannot recommend her enough!!!

We would hire him again if we are in the area. He kept us updated about his stay, which we really appreciated.
