Pet care experience

Trustworthy.Reliable.Kind.Expert

I have two cats of my own, who I adore and take great care of. Cats even timid or strays always want to say hello to me because they can sense my aura and good vibes. I’m very gentle, let them have space, feed them play with them all the above. They love to give me nudges :) For cats: play with them usually with crumpled paper, mouse toys, laser pointer, whatever they like. Feed them wet food, dry food, clean their litter, always make sure water is readily available. Insulin shots or any administered care I have done

House Sitting • Apr 10, 2026

John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!

John was great with my two pups! He took great care of them for 4 days and provided regular updates with pics and videos to keep me informed and comfortable while I was away. I would definitely recommend him!

Please let me know any special treatment your dog or cat may need or what they like and don’t like. My own dog needs 2 insulin shots everyday due to her diabetic condition. I have given her and many clients medicine orally before so I am certainly experienced in that regard as well.
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.
