About: I work at Genesee County Animal Care in Flint, MI and have been there for 3 years and counting! I specialize in dogs with behavioral needs, but love ALL of them! I am able to do drop in visits or walks for dogs (and cats if you were really into it), we may just need to play around with times due to my job. I also offer training assistance separately if interested! I have 4 dogs of my own, and have only stopped gathering more because of Clio’s legal limit (; I work full time during the week at animal control in Genesee County - Sundays and Mondays are my sweet spot days where I’m able to prioritize additional pet care services like dog walking and drop ins! When visiting someone’s home, I really try not to touch quite literally anything besides the things needed for the animal (treats, leash, collar, bath stuff, toys etc). Leave it cleaner than you left it as they say.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 .
