Pet care experience

I sit on pets all the time!

I've had pets around me ever since I was born. At one point, I wanted to be a vet. As a kid I was pretty much the neighborhood's resident animal professional. People would come to my house to ask me about pet care and, despite being like 9 years old, I was still trusted with an opinion. Animals have and always will be considered family to me and I promise that I will treat your pets with the same love and respect that I treat mine. I know some basic first aid including taking temperatures, measuring heart rates, bandaging, and even administering medication (they can be a little picky with those pills)! I have a bit of pet sitting experience from my then neighbors at 14, but I've been sitting on my own pets my entire life! I'm pretty much always available. I'll be starting school hopefully in September but I will change my schedules around when that happens. I have no defined plans right now but again I will always keep updated with whatever changes occur. I wouldn't be able to bring your pet to my home (my own pets wouldn't be very happy with that), but I'm very good with following instructions left by my client down to setting alarms when needed. I'm not very messy and I'll clean any mess I would make. In all honesty, I feel pretty nervous when handling things that aren't mine, so you have no worries with nosey behavior from me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable despite a stranger being in their territory. If your pet has any particular triggers or dislikes (like stomping, fast movements, whistling, etc) please let me know.

Antoinette was amazing with my cats! She was great at following the instructions given and communicating with me. She also provided pictures and videos which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!

Let me know if your dog has specific behaviors that are "normal" but could cause a concern to those who don't know them. For example, if you dog tends to drool a lot (maybe a result of losing teeth or any other reason), please tell me so I'll expect it as usual instead of a possible illness.
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.
