Safety, trust & environment

I can take care of your pet at your place. During the first visit, I'll ask you what areas and what toys I can use to play with your pet, what to pay special attention to.

Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet's needs, likes and dislikes. With dogs, I'll need to know how they interact with other dogs, how they react to small animals outside (squirrels, rabbits, etc.), and what to pay particular attention to.

A typical day

Dogs are very good at showing people what they like: their favorite toys, preferred routes, the speed at which they like to walk. It's easy to adjust to the dog's needs. I would also encourage your dog to explore new places during our walks.

Make your pet happy

Pet care experience

I enjoy interacting with animals: cats, dogs, horses, even snakes. I make sure that they feel safe and comfortable with me, and I provide plenty of exercise when possible. I have a deep respect for people who are taking care of their pets, and I'm happy to help you with that. I have plenty of experience pre-Rover: as a child, I had a boxer dog, and I have an old cat now. My friends often ask me to walk and feed their dogs or take care of their cats when they are away.

Catherine was great! During our meet-and-greet, she took detailed notes and even brought some cat treats and toys to help connect with the kitties while we were still home. Even though it was a short trip, we could tell that Catherine really cared about the cats and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. We loved receiving all the pictures she sent, and were amazed that she was able to get both of our kitties—who are usually very shy—to come out and play when she dropped in.

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.
