Pet care experience

Caring, reliable pet lover 🐈/🐕‍🦺

I have provided loving care for cats and dogs for more than two decades. I grew up with multiple cats and a large dog in the house (along with various fish, hamsters, and a guinea pig!). For years I enjoyed daily walks with our German Shepherd mix. Today I'm a proud cat dad to two rescue kitties that mean the world to me. If you'd like to know more about me and my experience, just ask!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is receiving safe, attentive care from their sitter. You can trust that I will follow your care instructions to a T, and you will receive photo updates and responsive communication from me. Your pet(s) will be treated with respect and affection. I will also be respectful of your home, whether house sitting or doing a drop-in visit.

Jack was fantastic! My dog is very anxious and doesn’t do well being left alone, but he made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how Remy was doing. Jack also asked great questions about Remy’s care which also made me feel very reassured. I would definitely book with Jack again, Remy was also a big fan!

Jack took phenomenal care of our two cats (and home) while we were away. I’m usually very anxious/sad traveling away from my fur babies but under Jack’s care I always feel such a sense of calm and relief knowing they’re being so well taken care of. Jack is truly such a gem, so hard to find a sitter like him who is so thoughtful, detailed, trustworthy, and loving to our pets. I’d recommend him a million times over.

John is the best !! He is very communicative before and during his visits assuring that everything goes smoothly. I never worry about my 🐈‍⬛ while he’s in John’s care. 😇😇😇

John (goes by Jack) took wonderful care of our two cats and I really appreciated that he actually spent some time with them. Our older one has a multi step feeding process which can be annoying at times, but Jack did great with it. He even went above and beyond to ask for the vacuum to clean up the litter that is kicked across the rooms. Will definitely ask for his help again in the future

Jack has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Birdie and Lucia. From the moment they met, Birdie didn’t even look back once she started walking with Jack, and she’s thrilled after every walk. Jack is very in tune with our dogs’ different personalities and needs, and we are so grateful to have someone so kind and trustworthy to care for our pets.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, dietary or medication requirements, quirks, or any other relevant information. What is your pet’s energy level? Does your dog do well on leash? Do they require a harness? How does your dog behave around other animals and people? What is your dog’s bathroom routine? Can he/she be crated?
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.
