About: Hello! I have two little dogs, I would definitely say my life is structured around both of them. I have a lifetime of experience around all types of dogs and other animals! I have been dog walking / cat house sitting for a few years and really enjoy getting to spend time with new animals! I live in a house with a large fenced in back yard that is safe and clean to roam around! We have a schedule of bathing, flea and tick treatments and special medication for my older chihuahua every month. My older chihuahua requires daily medication as well. I am very personable with my dogs, I speak to them often, they're definitely in the loop of things and get treats often. My dogs are my best buddies, I see all animals that way. <3
About: I grew up on a farm in the midwest where i’ve always been surrounded by all sorts of animals. We’ve fostered and owned almost every dog you can imagine; from tiny Maltese to huge king Corso’s to mutts and everything in between. I currently travel too much to have a dog of my own, but that’s why I dog sit everywhere i go! I work in food service & clean air bnbs so my routine changes most days; however, it also allows me to be flexible week to week depending on what i have to do. So however your animal needs cared for can be fit into my schedule! I can guarantee that your animals routine and comfort will be my highest priority. I take animal care very seriously because I understand how important it is not only for the owner, but for the animal to have a non stressful environment. any instructions will be followed to a t to insure maximum trust and comfort on all sides :)

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
