Pet care experience
Hello! Loving, kind, reliable, patient, compassionate, honest professional Pet Sitter, pet lover/owner at your service! I have been a cat parent for over 35 years, and a doggie mom for over 22 years. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I absolutely love animals! I have volunteered throughout my life with cat, dog, and more recently horse, rescues. I have worked for a vet and from this, and personal experience over the many years, I am able to administer oral medications dog and cat, and sub-q fluids for cats. Have a cat? I AM your cat person! Meow meow 😻. During my visit, I will: Cats.. > Provide fresh food and water per your instructions > Playtime, TLC, and brushing, etc. > Clean litter box(s) > Vacuum up litter and food areas as needed > Provide undivided attention, love, and interaction for entire time > Administer oral meds if needed > Take great photos of your fur baby(s) for you, and write a summary of my visit > Water plants, feed fish, bring in mail and packages if needed Dogs.. > Provide fresh food and water per your instructions > Playtime, TLC, brushing, etc. > Let out/in yard > Provide undivided attention, love, and interaction for entire time > Administer oral meds if needed > Take great photos of your fur baby(s) for you, and write a summary of my visit. > Water plants, feed fish, bring in mail and packages if needed I will happily care for your pets in whatever ways you outline and request. I favor Meet and Greets prior so that you, your pets, and I can meet, and go over all instructions for their care. I know how much my four legged kids mean to me, and how much I love and adore them... I would do whatever I could to make them happy. I promise to treat your baby(ies) like they were mine. I will send you photos and updates, I use the Rover cards so you will have all the information about my visit and your pet (s). I consider it an honor to be trusted with a member of your family and your home. I take that seriously with the utmost respect. FYI, my legal name is Jeniffer, but my nickname and preferred name is River. Both are me and both work 😊.
Reviews
River was awesome! We were out of town for an extended period and she not only took care of the kitties but also brought in our mail/packages, changed which lights were on in the house, and watered our plants. Always kept us updated which helped reassure us our house and pets were safe Would recommend her to anyone!
She was amazing! I had to find a book a sitter kind of last minute and hit the jackpot with her. She took the time during the meet and greet to really get to know my pets and their needs. She was super attentive to my dog and turtles. Sent lots of photos and very detailed and descriptive visit notes. I am totally booking with her again. Amazing service and made me feel very comfortable leaving the pets in her care while I was away.
River stepped into our home and immediately formed a special bond with my cats, and they are shy! Her daily updates were more than routine check-ins – they were delightful stories that captured the unique personalities and antics of my beloved pets. Her attention to detail is outstanding. From meticulously preparing their meals to ensuring the auto feeder and water fountain were always filled, River consistently went above and beyond. She was attentive to their comfort, managing everything from the humidifier to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. What truly sets River apart is her genuine affection for my cats. She understood and appreciated their quirks and needs, perfectly balancing playtime with cuddles and brushes. Her descriptions of their playful behaviors and affectionate moments showed deep care and connection. River's problem-solving skills were impressive, quickly addressing any issues like a stuck automatic litter box, and ensuring everything was in perfect order for our return. Her thoughtful gestures, like handling our mail and packages, were a testament to her reliability and trustworthiness. Having River take care of my cats made my time away completely worry-free. Returning to happy, relaxed cats was the ultimate proof of her exceptional caregiving. Thank you, River, for treating my cats as if they were your own. Your passion for animals is evident in every action, and we are immensely grateful. We highly recommend River to any pet owner seeking the highest standard of care and peace of mind for their furry family members!
Solid communication and care for our cat over a week. Consistent and affectionate. :D

Safety, trust & environment
When you let me in your home to take care of your pets, your fur babies, you are trusting me with things most dear in your life. I take that very seriously. I always like to schedule a meet and greet in the home, this way you get to meet me, I get to meet your pets with you there, and we can go over in detail their care. I have a questionnaire that I bring with me every time to fill out with information from you about your home and your pet. Everything from emergency numbers, car rides, allergies... even if a strange person should be around your property, and much more. I like to have all the information, so I can provide the best care possible... With safety and respect formost in my mind.
Information Jeniffer M. would like to know about your pet
I consider it an extremely important role when caring for other's fur kids. I would ask questions about their personality, health, history, age, likes and dislikes, any triggers, how well they are walking by and/or associating socially with other dogs (whether naughty or nice), their energy level, their diet, and any rules. I would be sure to cover all the basic (and sometimes special) needs of each individual dog. Every doggie is different, as are their habits and the expectations of their human parents. I would need to know as much as possible so I would be able to fulfill their needs and know how to best take care of their beloved fur kids. This is why I like to schedule meet and greets, it's the perfect time to meet and go over all of these details together. And even though it doesn't ask about kitties, but let me answer... It would be very much the same, only translated into Kitty.
A typical day
It depends on the dog owner (for kitty parents see below), and what they request and enjoy. If no specific preferences, I would take to a park where they can run and chase the ball. If that is not their cup of tea, we can go on walks together, where depending on likes of the dog(s)... beach, nature trails, etc. Cuddles and petting are always on the table, as well as chases or even driving in the car around with the window down so they can hang there head out and lap up the smells and air. Although this only asked about dogs, I also love to do KITTES! For every visit I will interact with your kitty(s) the entire time I am there, even if I'm just talking to them as I'm preparing a meal for them. I will scoop the litter box, prepare and serve fresh food per your instructions, give freshwater, will vacuum any litter (if you have a vacuum), and clean up any dishes made during this. And then the best part, lots of love and play!

I am solely doing pet care, which allows me to dedicate myself to my clients. I have a plethora of time, attention, and love for your fur baby (s).
