Availability

I have a very flexible schedule. I know that it is difficult to find a reliable sitter on short notice, i try to accept last minute bookings as long as my cat approves. However, even the smallest advanced notice is appreciated and will contribute tremendously in providing your pet with an enjoyable experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I havent updated my profile in a while. My gentle giant passed away last year but I still have Manny, the greatest cat ever. It's his world I'm just living in it. I have a fenced back yard for the pups to play outside. My cat hangs out upstairs until he's ready to interrogate our new guests. Manny prefers laid back dogs but he misses his best friend so some time during the stay he will make them cuddle with him lol. I have enough space to separate animals if needed.

Information edward a. would like to know about your pet

What is the dog's temperament? How do you deal with bad behavior? How do you reward good behavior? Are there any medical issues or allergies? In that case, do they need any medication? What are your dog’s triggers? What are they scared of? What will they react to? Can your dog be left alone? For how long?

A typical day

I am I usually awake well before the animals. Sometimes I play dead for a few to avoid being love bombed ?. Whether it is wrestling on the carpet, tug of war out back, or fetch at the park I do a good job of tiring out the fur babies so that they sleep well.

Edward was such a great sitter for my kitties! Responded last minute to my last minute request heading out for the weekend unexpectedly with no issue. Was very diligent in following our complicated building and care instructions and dealing with our messy just moved-in apartment, sending amazing pictures of my babies, and super timely in his visits. My kitties very obviously took to him well in his videos and were very happy and much less stressed and anxious upon our return. Will be very happy to use him again

Edward was great, we would definitely recommend him! He was super responsive, our cat seemed to really like him, and he sent plenty of photos during the visits while we were away.

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.
