Safety, trust & environment

When I am staying ant a clients house, I’ll typically hang around in the morning doing various animal related care activities and some days work from home in the morning. I’m usually in the office for about 2 hours at a time and can come home between any other activities to make sure pets are cared for. I really adjust my schedule to the needs of your pet.

Information Conner S. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality, along with any triggers, fears, or behavioral quirks. Please share feeding schedules, leash manners, training cues, and how your pet typically interacts with people, other animals, or new environments. I also appreciate knowing about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or emergency vet information so I can provide the safest, most comfortable care possible.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes fun, engaging walks, sniff breaks, gentle play, and basic enrichment games. If they enjoy it, we’ll do light training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or supervised outdoor time. For cats and smaller pets, I focus on interactive play, enrichment, and calm companionship. My goal is always to keep pets happy, mentally stimulated, and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats over 20 years, starting in high school when I began dog walking and cat sitting for owners I met through the dog park. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes, and I’ve had lots of my own dogs over the years including Labs, a Shih Tzu, Boxers, and most recently two 80-lb pit mixes. I’m particularly good with dogs who need a little extra patience—whether they’re strong pullers, highly energetic, or reactive on walks. I take pride in helping dogs feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I also have watch cats and am great at adapting to whatever the cat vibe is - from extremely playful to those who prefer to sleep and be left alone. I also have experience with all ages, including newborn kittens. I am not comfortable with needles so I’m unable to watch any animal that requires injections. Lastly, I currently have 4 chickens and am comfortable watching chickens as well. I do not board at my house because of the chickens and my roommate. I am a very reliable and trustworthy sitter in your own home and can take care of things like plants, mail, etc.

My dog migi had such a great time in Connor’s care!! I love that he has such a big fenced yard cause they were out there all the time playing fetch or taking walks! I got tons of updates, videos and pictures during his stay and it was clear he was having a blast! Would definitely recommend Conner to care for your fur babies and I will definitely book again in the future!

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.
