I love Pet Sitting

I do work an 8 hr job 5-days a week. I taken care of my grandparents pets for years and I love them. I love playing fetch with dogs and always up for a furry snuggle. I always make sure that the animals come first by ensuring they use the bathroom frequently. And they always have enough food along with water at all times. Although I like doing a meet and greet prior to sitting with your pets. I like a 2-weeks prior notice beforehand so we can go ahead and do a meeting and greet then most likely get it booked/confirmed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would like to come over to your house and watch them all day feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them plenty of time with fun! Maybe give them a treat or two. For cats I will clean the litter box, feed them give them water, play with them, and brush them.

Javier has been our house and dog sitter for the last few years and every time, he is great with the dogs, a prompt communicator and always leaves the house clean and tidy. I highly recommend Javier to care for your home and pets!

Looked like our boys were happy with Javier. I took my trip and truly did not have to worry about my boys. Thank you Javier.

Javier did an amazing job taking care of our cat and our home. I think the first two days were a little hard, as my cat takes some time to get used to new people and I was not sure whether she would end up liking Javier's company. We could both have communicated a bit better about the transition, it might have eased things up. After the first few days, my cat became much more open and friendly, and Javier did a great job spending time and playing with her. He was very good at keeping me posted about her and sent pictures every day. Javier left our house clean and organized, which we appreciated after a long time away. I am looking forward to the next time we have Javier over, as I know that he will be great with our kitty and I know I can trust him to provide the best care.

Javier was wonderful! I felt totally at peace on my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. He respected my home and took great care of both my dog and my home! I highly recommend Javier if you need a fur baby sitter!

Schedule

I am currently working Full-Time Job (11am-8pm) Friday through Tuesday so watching them anytime around that would be great. I like walking dogs, cuddling with dogs/cats. I don't mind staying at your house while your away and to keep your pets some company.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Javier can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I don't like too big of dogs ideally smaller pets are the better ones especially for me. I would need some contact info if any emergency so I can take them to the vet as quickly as possible.
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.
