Father of children and pets
Pet care experience
I have had many pets throughout my life. I most recently had a Newfoundland dog. He was a huge part of my daily routine, and a huge part in the family as well. My daughter, Laura, started using rover as a way to bring back the joy of taking care of animals. I adored all of the sweet pets that we took care of. Now that she has gone to college, I am missing pets, and wanted to start pet sitting myself. My newfoundland had many health issues throughout his life. I am comfortable administering or giving any medicine because of this. I have also had bunnies and taken care of many cats. I believe that animals are like children sometimes, and are a very important part of the family. I will treat them as such, with so much care.
Reviews
Harold did a great job, he was so sweet to cooper and communicated often!
Great communication and care provided for a last minute booking. No complaints!
Harold was great and Benny seemed happy to stay with him and the family! He sent many pictures and was very easy to communicate with. I will be asking him to babysit again.
Harold was so easy to work with. He was patient and sweet with my senior cat. I appreciated the occasional pictures and updates!
About Harold C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I usually wake up early and start my day by taking a moment outside and then beginning work. Whenever I am petsitting, I create a routine around the pet's routine. For the first few hours I will monitor them, make sure they know where I have put their beds, food bowls, where the door to outside is, etc. After they seem to have settled, since I work from home, I will then begin working and also keeping an eye on them. Once I'm done with work, I love having more nights with pets and taking them out on walks or to play fetch. When Im cat-sitting, I usually love to observe them because they almost always have silly behavior, and I love giving them cuddles as well. If your pet is not okay with lots of cuddles, I will of course respect that.

Availability
I work from home, and have plenty of time to care for your pets and give them lots of cuddles and attention. I am available for boarding any day of the week. I can send plenty of pet pictures. Since I work from home, your pet is very likely to not be left alone in my home. Your pet is allowed anywhere in my home. I will provide similar care that they receive in your home, and I will follow the rules they have in your home as well (ex: if not allowed on bed).
