About: Big or small, I love them all! I have expertise caring for senior, special needs, and high anxiety dogs. Need a pet care professional that focuses on your dogs needs? I'm here for you. Throughout my life, I've always had at least one dog, and I currently share my home with a wonderful pack of seven. Because I know how important a pet’s routine and comfort are, I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention in their own familiar neighborhood. I take pride in delivering the highest level of care and always put a dog's well-being first. My professional background includes working at a dog daycare as a behavioral coordinator, where I specialized in safely handling dogs with challenging or reactive behaviors. I'm also the go-to guy for most of my friends and family when they need a reliable pet sitter. Ensuring proper enrichment and care throughout the day for even the most energetic of dogs is my goal. I also partner with local rescues and sanctuaries to foster dogs, focusing heavily on senior and medically disabled pets. One of my dogs is actually paralyzed and another one was born with only 2 legs and they are some of the most fun dogs I've ever had. My specialized, hands-on skills include: Expressing paralyzed dogs Administering insulin injections Managing difficult, timid, or leash-reactive behaviors Animal CPR and First Aid (Certified since 2019) If your dog has special needs, lets chat! While my main focus is dogs, I also have extensive experience with guinea pigs, rats, mice, and lizards. I also love bugs, so if you have some wild exotics I'm happy to help with them as well! Whether your pet needs a slow and patient approach on their daily walk, specialized medical attention during a midday drop-in, or just a lot of love while you are at work, they are in safe, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Most evenings I am also available past 4pm until about 10pm. I love playing around with dogs if that's what they need, but I also don't mind just hanging out with a senior dog while they relax and wonder the yard. I try to cater to the specific dog or dogs in my care. I have experience working at a dog daycare and ensuring dogs days safe, fun, and are full of enrichment are my top priorities. I take a caring approach to making sure dogs are comfortable. I do what I can to read behavioral cues and try my best to approach each dog based on their own boundaries. If you're looking for walks, or just a drop in, I'll make sure your dog has the fun they deserve.
“Katie’s awesome! So friendly and helpful and genuine. I was in a bind and so lucky to have her take care of our dog for the day. It took the stress away not having to worry about our dog’s care-you can tell she cares. She went out of her way to be tidy and even took our dog on long walks despite the rain! We will definitely use her again!”
“Love James (and Rachel if needed). I'm totally relaxed when I have to leave since I know my dog is being taken care of by caring and trustworthy people. Great Rover representatives.”
“Josephine was great! I had such peace of mind while I was away due to the great pictures and updates she reported after every visit. She is very trustworthy and timely- she checked in at my pet’s exact meal times each day. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Kayla is a great communicator. She is very kind, and she is patient with our puppy. She clearly loves animals and is very reliable when it comes to providing care.”
“Lilit is fantastic. We strongly recommend. She watched our senior cat while we were on vacation. She has amazing attention to detail and cares for your animals like they are part of her family too. We also enjoyed the pictures we received on every visit.”
“Alexandra was amazing with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands at home. We came back to happy pups and everything just as we left it. We’ll absolutely be using Alexandra again and would highly recommend her! 🐾💕”
“Cara is fantastic! She was always on time and spent the full time interacting with our cats. She went above and beyond bringing in packages and taking out trash bins when needed. Highly recommend her services.”
“Kylie is simply amazing. She was quick to respond and willing to help me when my usual dog sitter canceled last minute. We have an outdoor camera at my house and when I looked in, I saw her playing with my dogs in the yard the entire time she was there. It lifted a huge weight off my shoulders having her there. I appreciate her so much and definitely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilbraham
Alexis was absolutely wonderful with Cookie and Creamy! 🥹 She sent tons of updates throughout my trip, and her notes were always so funny, sweet, and detailed! I genuinely looked forward to reading them every day. Seeing how comfortable and happy the girls were with her made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I also really appreciated that Alexis didn’t just stop by to take care of the basics. She made sure to actually spend time with Cookie and Creamy so they had company and weren’t alone, which meant so much to me. She also took great care of my home and was incredibly respectful of the property. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I felt completely comfortable having Cookie and Creamy in her care. I would absolutely hire Alexis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, trustworthy, and thoughtful pet sitter! ❤️🐱🐱

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 sitter.
