Pet care experience

Retired Animal Lover

I've been a cat owner continuously for the last 28 years and love meeting new cats whenever I can. We currently have two cats, Rosie and Hazel whom we love dearly. I'm very used to all of the tasks associated with cat care with the exception of IV medication. I also love dogs and decided to sign up on here so I could get the chance to meet more dogs as I get plenty of cat-loving at home.

Safety, trust & environment

For now I only intend to take care of animals in the owners home. I would expect the owner to provide detailed instructions regarding the specific services that they want and would fulfill those 100% and then spend some time socializing with the animal if it is receptive. To build trust I would text a picture of their pet each time I visit the owners home.

Gary regularly watches my cat and provides excellent service. I get pictures and written updates with every drop in, which makes me feel like my cat is taken care of well.

Schedule

I'm 100% retired so I have full control of my schedule. I don't look at pet sitting as a chore but as an opportunity to spend time with a cat or dog. I'd rather spend an hour with a cat or dog than I would with most people.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Gary can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
There are a quite a few. Dietary restrictions, medicinal needs, notable behaviors, physical ability\limitations, playing preferences, favorite toys, hot buttons (doorbells for example), on leash behaviour, house rules (on\off furniture etc.), potty needs, known commands, likes and dislikes. Probably others but this is a good start.
These prices are for 1 dog.

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.
