Pet care experience

I put your pets first!

I've been a dog owner the last 13 years, and did quite a bit of pet sitting (including cats) in NYC prior to that. Over the years, I've done twice daily long walks with my dogs, potty trained puppies, and administered meds to older dogs (including chemo). I have an extremely flexible schedule, and I have a spouse who can care for our pets while I'm working. While I'm engaged with a client, I'm 100% focused on their pet. In a client's home, I make certain to find out what the house rules are for the pet(s) to make certain we follow those rules and keep consistency while the owners are away.

Dalvane was wonderful! He took a personal interest in Bennie’s well being. He kept me updated while I was away. Bennie seemed very happy!

Dalvane and my furnbay hit it off well, she warm up to him right away. He showed concerned about environment and her paws, he took a photo. He listen very well and took directions. Will book again...

Calendar and availability

Schedule

We've had pets for the last 15 years, so pet care is just part of the routine. So that means meals multiple times a day, walks 3 times a day, litter box cleaning, nail trimming, vet visits, and all the normal things required for keeping your pets healthy. Then on top of that, we provide as much love, attention and games to keep our pets happy.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I can not care for pets in our home at this time due to our pets' personalities. Updates to this section will be made if that changes.

Pets

A typical day

I'm a firm believer that when pet-sitting I both entertain the pets with games and also providing cuddle time (if the pet is open to it).

For pet-sitting, I feel it's always important to get the following info: * Name, number & address of regular vet AND emergency vet * Feeding times (including treats) as well as medication schedule * Info about favorite toys & games the pet(s) enjoy * House rules (e.g., is the pet allowed on the bed, when are routine bathroom breaks, etc.) * How does the pet interact with other pets in the household? With unknown animals?
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.
