Pet care experience

Pet-loving collegiate musician

I've been taking care of pets for about six months (as of February 2026), and I've had pets for my entire life. I got my dog as a puppy when I was four, and she's now fourteen. This means I've had experience with dogs throughout every stage of their life. This means that I know how to play with them, pick up their waste, feed them, medicate them, walk them, clean them, and give them as much love as they desire. The same goes for cats, as I got the cats I have now when they were kittens, and they're now seven. I've also had several senior cats throughout my life. Outside of pets that I've had, I've taken care of high energy dogs, elderly dogs, small dogs, dogs with permanent or temporary injuries, dogs that require oral or topical medication, puppies, and a blind cat. I'm also quite adept with new things that I've never seen with animals.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have the ability to host pets in my own home. In other people's homes, I'd follow the rules and/or schedule that was set out for me, make sure the house is secure, and keep the pet(s) completely safe at all times. The well-being of your companion is my top priority.

Jude was excellent. My puppy was well taken care of. She got ahold of one small item and chewed it up. When I told Jude, he immediately offered to replace it and followed through on his word. I recommend Jude and I will book him again if I can.

Jude was fabulous and very sweet with our two high needs dogs. He stayed in our home for over a week and took fabulous care of the house and left it very clean.

Jude is a fabulous pet sitter. He made the time to come visit with me and my cats before I left town. I had my new kittens for only a month when he started looking after them, and when I came home I felt like they were no longer as skittish or jumpy after two weeks with Jude. He kept me up to date and was very kind with my girls. I will be hiring him again in the future.

Jude took great care of our pups on a last minute booking even when one of our dogs was having some tummy troubles. He administered meds for the pups as needed and sent pictures every day. Would recommend!

Schedule

I don't have too much going on right now, so I can take care of pets pretty much whenever. The only thing that could get in the way is band practice, and that's usually in the morning and pretty infrequent.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jude can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
The main things I need to know ahead of time are if the pet has damaged items recently, and anything you'd like me to know (feeding times, medication, etc.)
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.
