Information Brian D. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know about preferred food, toys, ways of giving and receiving attention, and any irritants or peeves. And of course any medical information.

Every cat has their own habits so I can adapt, whether the cat wants to play, cuddle, or just get fed and observe me from a hiding place!

Cat lover caring for feline friends

Pet care experience

I grew up with a cat and have enjoyed caring for friends’ pets. I did less of that in the last decade since I had a cat of my own, but she passed away recently so I’m looking to care for others. I have lots of experience administering medicine orally and by injection, and establish rapport easily with most cats!

Brian is our go to pet sitter! He sends daily updates on how our cat is doing and is very communicative. I never have to worry when I’m out of town because I know Brian’s taking great care of her :)

Brian was an amazing pet sitter. We left our cat with him for three months while we moved to another country, and he took excellent care of her. She stayed safe, healthy, and happy, and Brian kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. He was incredibly flexible and went above and beyond to help us in so many ways throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for better care for our cat. We highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Brian!

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.
