Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Lover and Nerd/ geek
Hello! I currently have two wonderful cats that we adopted from an emergency adoption from NYC and had them for over 4 years now. In my old apartment, we had a cat sitting group and I took care of a few different cats. What I did not know is we still have a lasting friendship with them. Fun fact, I rescued a stray cat and our friends from the former cat group adopted the little guy to provide him a forever home! In our new neighborhood, I take care of the neighbor's cats when they are out of town. When I was growing up I had an Alaskan Manumute. Therefore, bigger dogs are not a huge issue for me. When I used to live in Florida I would take care of the neighbor's dog when they were out of town and did house sitting as well.

Safety, trust & environment
In our house we more and less allow our cats to roam free except in a few rooms. We keep all chemicals in our cupboards and our cats have no access to them. Also, I make sure that I clean up spills and food off the floor as we do not want our babies to eat anything that could hurt them. I treat my pets as I would a child. In a clients house I would respect their living space and any specific instructions.
Ratings and reviews
Anton was a life saver today. He was very responsive and caring while I’m in a situation there was a no show sitter and when I was away from country. He was genuinely caring about my cats and get the apartment key from leasing office in last minute, i just can’t stress enough how grateful I am. This wasn’t the first time he looked after my cats and he was great at that time as well. Very much recommended!
Anton does not come when booked; the time you book him for and the time he shows up and varies by up to 10 hours in either direction. His communication was poor and rude. He shouldn’t be used for any animal where their schedule matters. The care he provided seems fine. No details in Rover cards and bad pictures.
Anton is just the best. Reliable, does the whole job, and our scaredy cat loves him.
Anton is just the best. Reliable, communicative, and our scardey cat even comes to him!
Anton was so wonderful. Easy communication, reliable, did exactly what I hoped a cat sitter would do, and even formed a friendship with my very skittish cat. High marks all around. We would love to hire him again.
Anton was a fantastic communicator and took my stress away about leaving my kitties. I left for 4 days and have 6 cats and he was fantastic. His picture updates were cute & he went above and beyond to play with them and feed them their wet food. Highly recommend him for any of your animal needs.

Schedule
After a few months on this platform, I would not be a good choice if you request hour walks on a permeant basis. It is a lot of work and I may be willing only to do it on a short-term basis. As an update, if you have larger-sized dogs that pull quite frequently on walks, I ask you not to consider me as I have a back condition that puts a lot of strain and pressure. Smaller dogs I will consider but I do ask we do a meet-and-greet beforehand to verify I can handle them. I currently do not work but go to flight school mainly on the weekends. I can be available on the weekends as needed but some of my training does require 4-5 hours of commitment. During the week I am more or less available. I have reliable transportation but I do ask if I can park my car in a driveway at least. I prefer not to do dog walking in DC or house sitting.
