Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with multiple levels and rooms to separate cats when needed. I have 5 litter boxes and multiple water and food stations. I have 4 cats (2 boys, and 2 girls) who have all lived with a dog previously. I also have a backyard to walk the dog/take for potty breaks and also live in a very safe neighborhood to go on walks and play at the park. In your home I can follow your protocols by crating, feeding them at certain times, administering medications at certain times, whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable!

Information Emma J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors to look out for! That way I can adequately prepare to give your pet the best attention!

A typical day

I will play with your cat or dog if they want to! Lots of pets and attention to the cats and I’ll take your pups on plenty of walks and explore the area to give them a good workout! I’ll make sure they are well hydrated and fed!

Pet care experience

I currently care for 4 cats one of which is a senior with cancer and special needs. Up until a year ago I also took care of my mixed breed bestie Winnie who also had cancer. I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was 9, and have ample experience with washing, feeding, administering medications, walking, playing, and of course snuggling! I have potty trained puppies and worked with seniors with potty issues. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty to help your cat or dog be happy and comfortable!

Wonderful communication. Absolutely love having her watch Boomer. Boomer is happy when she comes and we feel so comfortable leaving knowing she will be taking care of him.

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.
