Hi there! As a pet lover in my thirties with over 20 years of pet care experience, I'm new to the Rover platform, but have a long history of pet sitting for friends, roommates and family. When caring for cats and dogs, I focus on maintaining their routine whenever possible, ensuring regular bathroom breaks and clean litter boxes, using positive reinforcement, and focusing on enrichment and exercise. While providing end-of-life care to my two senior cats, I became familiar with administering oral meds and inhalers, daily grooming, watching for changes in appetite or activity level, and managing special diets. I have experience with dogs (and cats) who prefer their own space, snap at other dogs to communicate their desire for space, and medium sized dogs who are still learning leash manners (my own dogs pull quite a bit - my trainer calls them sports cars!) I also have some basic experience with caring for reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and fish. I understand how stressful it can be to worry that your pets are being taken care of properly. **My rates are currently set pretty low because I'm new to the Rover platform, but my low rates don't reflect the quality of care I'll provide. :) I also offer low additional dog/cat prices for multi-per households.
