About: Being a caring, reliable pet sitter is something I cherish. I have been working with dogs for over ten years now in all areas of the industry. I have gained experience in canine behavior, basic training and socialization of large groups. That background has allowed me to have a better understanding of how dogs communicate with each other and with us. For the last 3 years I have been using that knowledge to run my own small business and I absolutely love what I do! While I have my small business, Rover allows me to connect with a whole new community of pet parents. I make sure to manage my schedule well and make sure your pet is always my top priority. I will always strictly stick to all instructions given by you to ensure your pet is as happy as can be while you’re away. I also will make sure to give updates regularly and am always easily reachable for any questions or concerns. With me, your pet will be safe, loved and spoiled with top level care.

Currently my schedule for the summer I will be working out of the home from the times of 8:30 AM to 5:00PM three days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page :) Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up I had two cats and even a fire-bellied toad! They gave me wonderful childhood memories while teaching me the value of responsibility and compassionate care. As I got older, friends and neighbors began asking me to care for their pets, and I was always happy to help. Looking after animals-big or small-has brought me so much joy. I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting dogs of all sizes, cats, and a guinea pig. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats as well as a kitten, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love, attention, and care they receive at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and are well cared for while you’re away. I’m also willing to send pictures with updates on your pets for extra peace of mind. My schedule is pretty open right now so I’m very flexible and happy to stop by when you need. Just let me know what works best for you and I’ll do my best to accommodate with your schedule! When dropping in, I’m happy to stick to their daily routines and what makes them comfortable. I will always keep them leashed for walks and when going outdoors (unless the yard is fenced).

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
