Pet care experience

Who needs kids when there are cats?

Please note, I am only caring for cats at this time, no dogs... UNLESS you are a past client 😊 I have had all kinds of pets throughout my life from chickens to dogs.... but no creatures pull at my heartstrings like cats. My own girl, Fooie, is the love of my life and I know that a family's cat is their lifeline. I will pamper your critter the same way I pamper mine <3

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My pets and those I care for are always on my mind. Risks such as open doors and windows, passers-by, open food containers or cleaning products - I always have eyes on all of those things. I know what is and isn't out of reach, etc. My own cat is a serial treat-bag stealer and plant eater 😅 so I am on HIGH alert to keep pets safe.

Bret did an great job taking care of our dog, cat, and house! She was reliable and communicative. We never had to wonder what was going, and felt completely confident with Bret in charge! We can't wait to be repeat customers!

Brett was wonderful watching our girl Layla for 5 days at our house. We appreciated her daily updates that kept us in the loop and we loved the cute pics she sent. The house was left just as we left it when we came back.

Really appreciated Bret's communication and responsiveness. She took great care of the house as well as my cat, who was very happy in her care. I'd definitely hire her again!

Bret has been amazing to stay and keep an eye on our cat who has some health issues. We always get great updates, all of our instructions are followed perfectly, and we come home to a happy cat who has been well cared for. Thanks Bret!!

Schedule

I work a full time job, with one work-from-home day (usually Fridays). My schedule is luckily flexible, but this means my ideal furry pals are able to be left alone for most of the workday. I have my own girl, Fauvette, and she is the love of my life. I grew up with so many animals, but since getting her I have learned even more about pet care. From her often hilarious relationship with her little brother, Hankerchief, I've learned so much about cat behavior and social dynamics (they're the classic sibling pair.)

Cats
Bret can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Dogs: I do not care for untrained dogs. They must be leash trained, and MUST respond to commands such as "come"/"here", "drop it"/"leave it" and other commands that ensure its and my safety. Please let me know all commands they know. Please also tell me aggression/bite history, possibility of bolting, favorite activities, behaviors around other dogs or human strangers, diet restrictions, health patterns, bathroom patterns. Cats: Please let me know their shyness level, possibility of bolting, diet restrictions, health patterns, bathroom patterns. Livestock/fowl/rodents: Let's get into your daily chore routine and all the details of your farm.
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.
