Pet care experience

The cliche artsy animal loving type

My family always had multiple dogs when I was growing up and I shared in giving them care. When I left home for college I adopted a cat and discovered that cats are an especially good fit for me. For the last few years I was in a graduate program at a university outside my home state with no pets of my own, but I started offering care for my instructors and colleagues. Many of these clients had older animals including dogs over 10+ years, and cats over 15+. I love all animals, but older animals are special sweethearts. I love their personalities and temperaments. After moving to Kansas City in the summer of 2022 I started offering care through Rover. I feel very comfortable communicating with pet parents and following specific care on a pet by pet basis.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful when in the home of a client, and when possible always try to leave things in a better state than when I found them. Furthermore, I strictly adhere to pet care instructions that I am given. Many animals I have cared for have special diets so I am always careful to keep them away from getting into anything harmful or feed them treats they were not allowed.

Our cats loved Jonathan. He did a great job keeping our apt clean and sent us cute photos of the cats while we were traveling!

Jonathan was thorough and professional once again! One of our dogs has severe anxiety and Jonathan took the time to revisit our pets to ensure an easy stay. Thank you for loving our pets this past weekend!

Jonathan always takes such great care of our two senior dogs. He checks in daily and always includes a photo. He also takes great care of the house and always leaves it better than he found it.

I am open to caring for older (I love senior animals!) and special needs animals, but I need to know everything up front to make sure that I feel comfortable giving your pets everything they need. Currently, I am open to caring for large dogs but that depends on the level of activity required for care.
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.
