Pet care experience

Cat Connosieur, Feline Fanatic

Safety is paramount, and I seek to provide that in every way I can to the people and the animals who I’m trusted to care for ^_^ I am a Psychology minor with an emphasis on infant and behavioral psychology. I have dog/cat sat on Rover for a few years, along with having my own stray-adopted cat back home. I have had over 500 bookings in the past two years with over 280 different cats 🐈 and 80 different dogs 🐕 I have also taken care of my infant niece, and my elderly parents for a few years now. I understand you put your utmost care and trust into your pets, and I empathize to the importance of that. Be assured that you can leave your pets in caring hands and not have to worry or feel any pressure or ridicule from someone who will respect your pets <3

Safety, trust & environment

I already deal with delicate items at my record store, so I know how to place and shelf items that are important to avoid any damage from pets. I really do emphasize that, because I know how frustrating it’d be to have any issues with your pets breaking stuff and not having any action being done by a sitter. Please let me know if you have any fragile items or areas that are out of bounds and I will adequately ensure that no damages occur during my visits. I have stayed in over 150 apartments for overnight care, and around 300-400 for brief drop-ins. I am extremely experienced in dealing with doormen, key drop offs, and never losing your keys 👌 Unfortunately I cannot board pets in my home because I live with roommates who are allergic :(

Abdelkader is absolutely fantastic! He is always available when I need someone to care for my cat, Stormy, and consistently goes above and beyond. He sends thoughtful updates and check-in messages, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about Stormy’s well-being and treats him with kindness and attention. Reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring, Abdelkader has been a wonderful caregiver. I never have to worry when Stormy is in his hands. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

Schedule

I usually work park time at a record store, and I sit on my laptop doing other things. I also take two 2-hour walks a day and workout 4x a week. So, I have a lot of free time and I usually don’t go around for more than 3-4 hours a day. My work is pretty stationary and I am actively walking outside, so pets will always have a place in my routine and lifestyle 😇

Cats
Abdelkader can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
I would like to know in what ways I can accommodate for your prts the best I can! I have administered oral medications and cared for some senior/elderly dogs and cats before. I also took care of infant 4–8-week-old puppies and kittens. If there are things I cannot do, I would be willing to learn! II don't believe in "difficult" pets, and it is my job to adapt to any situation that may arise :) let me know how I can best do that for you
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
