Pet care experience

Lots of love while you're away

When your pet stays with me, I want you and them to rest assured that they are part of the family. My goal is to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible while you are away. I have been pet sitting on Rover for 9 years and have 10+ years experience before that. During that time I have done stays as short as an afternoon to staying at a house for 2 whole months! You can expect frequent updates with pictures while you are away and be able contact if you need anything. I have even done video calls with owners during longer stays! One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on a nice long stroll on nice days. There is a wonderful trail just behind my house that makes for a perfect nature walk. Of course, if your pet prefers to lounge around and play inside, I'm fine with that too! I put a lot of time, and energy into training my dog using positive reinforcement, patience, and treats (lots of treats). I still keep up with the latest methods on dog and cat behavior today. When I pet sit I put that same dedication and commitment towards whomever I am watching. Medication Experience: I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid -experienced with administering pills and liquid medication -have given more advanced care but would like a run through with you prior to the stay My House and Neighborhood: I am a half mile away from the Kingston ferry, which is about a 2 minute drive from the time you get off to my house. I live on the 3rd floor of a condo building which provides a large grass yard to play in as well as 2 patios for any pet that enjoys some fresh air. There is a walking trail behind where I live and I am a 15 minute walk to the beach. My Pets: I have 2 cats that are both very friendly with other animals. They love to play with other kitties and tend to give dogs their space. My house is cat-ified with cat trees galore, window sills to peer out of, tunnels to hide in and scratch posts to well.. scratch.

Schedule

I work from home 3 days a week (Tues, Thur, Fri) and go into Seattle for work Mon and Wed. I leave the house at 8:15 and get home around 6:00pm. If your pet needs me to be home sooner I can be home as soon as 4:15pm. During the work from home days I will be able to take pets out on potty breaks, give meals, do short walks, and give some cuddles and play time.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping harmony and peace in my home is a top priority for me and I am always very aware of what all the critters are up to while I am home. In the event of your pet being uncomfortable I am able to provide them their own private room as well as put some pet gates up give the cats a place to escape to. Introductions and interactions with my pets will always be supervised until I know everyone is comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

Like I said, keeping your pet on their normal routine I believe is one of the keys to keeping them comfortable while you're away. I will be striving to follow the information given when we meet. Walks: Potty breaks will be taken down in the yard. Longer walks will be taken either down to the beach, through the trail, or around the block depending on your pups energy level. Sleeping Arrangements: Your pet is welcome to sleep anywhere their heart desires. If they want to sleep on the bed they are more than welcome. If you have rules about keeping them off the furniture let me know.

*I am experienced administering pills and liquid medication. If your pet needs more advanced care I would need a walkthrough prior to the stay. Before I watch your pet I would like to know the general information about their day: their exercise routine, meal plan, special needs/medication, favorite types of play. What is their personality and temperament like? Are they okay around other dogs or people? What does your pet love to do? (Car rides, long walks, fetch, snoozing on the couch, etc) Contact information for their vet. These are some of the things we will go over during our "meet-and-greet" prior to the stay. If your dog comes along, meet and greets also allow me to see how they behave when in their natural state with you. This will help me to understand your dog's behavior and match that as close as possible while I'm there.
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.
