I have a gentle alpha energy that makes them feel safe. Consider me your pets grandmama who likes to get out and explore the neighborhood! I’m retired but active. I am a woodworker and always have a hobby going. I lost my sweet old puppy, Savannah about a year ago. Not ready for a new dog, but I want dog energy in my life! Im hyper vigilant on walks, especially with new dogs. I like long walks so the pup can get a little tired and get into that pack travel state of mind. While house sitting I’m kind of a minimalist in other people’s houses. I don’t travel with much stuff. I read, knit and watch too much YouTube.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply giving pets companionship and affection, I focus on creating a calm, caring, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their families. I do work during the day; however, I work very close to home and am able to return home during the day to provide check-ins, potty breaks, and attention as needed. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, patience, and care I would give to a member of my own family.

We are new to the area and needed someone to drop in on our dog Beau. Liz was great. She came on time, made sure Beau was fed and let out and provided plenty of pictures of their time together! I will definitely be reaching out when we need some help with Beau again!
Mary is an amaaaaaaazing person and was extremely helpful with Bhairava. She was super flexible and always there to help, even with my last minute changes. She has been a great support for me and I am glad to have found her. I will definitely recommend her highly, and I look forward to having her take care of Bhairava again, soon!

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.

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.

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 .
