Pet care experience

Caring, retired nurse available

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I traded pet sitting with neighbors. The dogs usually stayed with me and my family. I’m attentive and detail oriented. I love animals and have empathy for them. I’m retired so have an open schedule. I can stay overnight or spend hours checking in with pets. I’m open to cats and dogs. I would prefer up to medium sized dogs for walking. I’m very active so have endurance to take longer walks. We had my father in laws senior dog (poodle mix) for several years. One of my cats lived until almost 18 years old and I gave her a few fluid injections when her kidneys were failing.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a condo with my son and cat. Pet sitting at someone’s home works out best for me. I’m on the second floor so not as conducive taking a dog outside.

Janine does a great job with my dog and cats and spends time with them to make sure they are exercised and given lots of attention

Janine was great at communication and problem solving. I could tell she was patient and made great progress with my socially awkward cat!

Did a wonderful job with our kitties. Don’t even think they noticed we were gone. 5/5 would hire again

Both caring and responsible for our busy puppy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter

Let me know if your dog or cat has special needs or behavioral issues. It helps to know their routine and if they have a special toy.
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.
