Safety, trust & environment

I try to stick to each pet parent's specific needs and wants. My preferred way of taking care of animals is meeting all their needs and giving them a good time with whatever I can offer them, such as playing with toys, trips to parks, being silly and other novel things that the pet owners are OK with such as hiding treats for them to find or walking cats in certain circumstances...etc.

Information Amir K. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. Prior to dog sitting, I would like to know about their behavioral tendencies - for example are they super active or more lethargic, how often do they eat, are they okay around other dogs or other animals. Also if you have certain ways of communicating with them or just knowing what they respond best to in general (whether it be gestures, treats, etc) is helpful. Again, the detailed notes and instructions provided by pet parents are my go-to strategy.

A typical day

I'd love to take them to parks and luckily in Portland, it is easy to find a park nearby most places. Cuddling on the couch and watching TV usually never fails. Every animal is different, and what they find entertaining or comforting is what I aim to provide for them.

Pet care experience

Current Deals: • 10% off recurring bookings for walks and/or drop-ins (must be at least 2 weeks+ in a row) For example: x1 drop-in per week for 2 weeks still qualifies for the 10% discount even if you don't book again the 3rd week. If you request a drop-in the first week and another drop-in the second week, each drop-in is $25, so the 10% discount makes the total $22.5 per week or $45 instead of $50 for both weeks. --- --- --- I provide professional and reliable pet sitting and home services tailored to your needs. I have over 9 years of experience working with animals and their pet parents and have seen it all (or at least close to all). I like long lists of instructions, contact information, and any notes that are relevant to your home and pet care. Please don't hesitate to be as detailed as possible. Most clients have been kind enough to leave written or printed instructions, but emailed instructions work, too. My schedule is flexible and I aim to accommodate all kinds of requests, including taking care of other kinds of animals such as horses, llamas, chickens, fish...etc. Prices may vary in such cases, but I'm flexible and I'm sure we'll work something out that works for the both of us. Below I discuss important information including deals and extra service perks! Please Read: Please, keep things professional. Most of my clients are wonderful, normal people. I treat my clients with respect, professionalism, and value communication. Respect is essential for any successful relationship and without this foundation, I will be unable to provide services for you. This is a simple request that I unfortunately learned is necessary to mention. Meet & Greets are required except in emergency situations where you need help in a pinch and have no time for introductions. I have experience administering medication via syringes, needles, pill pockets...etc. If your animal(s) require intensive care, such as injured animals that need special care and attention or senior animals that can't be left alone for long, that is not a problem but I may have to charge a bit more than usual. I prefer to update my clients in a minimalistic but highly detailed manner, meaning long texts with all the necessary updates along with pictures, but perhaps once in the day and once at night. I will of course communicate as much as you like, just please let me know beforehand. The goal is to give you a stress-free and unintrusive experience. People often book sittings for vacations and or important family matters and I would like to stay out of the way as much as possible. I typically leave before pet owners return home to stay true to the unintrusive experience I like to create, however, if you'd like me to stay till you return, I'll simply ask for a one time $5 fee per sitting, just to account for flight delays and the like. --- --- --- I also offer deals/service perks that include: • I like to help out in a pinch if needed, and sometimes I won't charge anything for emergency help. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any urgent issues that come up, I'll do my best to help! • I am happy to do anything (within reason) that helps your home and animals although based on the request there might be a slight upcharge. • I offer other home services such as scooping the yard or watering plants during sittings or drop-ins/walks. Please note that I do not charge for scooping the day to day poops, just if there's a request to scoop waste that has built up in the yard over time before my arrival if that makes sense. During a sitting, if you request it, I charge a one-time fee of $10 for scooping the yard and a one-time $5 fee for watering plants. For example: if the sitting is $100 total, and you request one (or both) of the above services, it would be either $105 (watering plants), $110 (scooping yard) or $115 (both watering plants and scooping yard) total. • After getting to know each other, if your animal needs emergency veterinary attention, please contact me for help if needed and I will take them to your vet if you're far from home. We can discuss compensation afterwards but it may not be necessary based on the scenario. • I offer x1 complimentary bath per sitting for one pet, just ask! Additional animals would be just an extra $5 each. If you'd like me to give your pets a bath during a walk or drop-in, it would only be $10 extra (per animal). Ideally these baths would be done outside, but I'm sure every household will have it's own methods and I of course will work with what you've got. If your pet(s) are allergic to any chemicals typically found in dog shampoo, please let me know. For now, I will count on you to provide the cleaning materials but that may change in the future. --- --- --- Thank you and I look forward to working with you and your animals!

Would recommend. He and his gf Tiana loved our animals like they were their own, and gave lots of updates.

Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.

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.
