Pet care experience

🐶Most of my friends have 4 paws🐱

I make it my job to provide you with reliable support, service and relief around the clock with quick response times whenever possible. 🐾 The phrase "unconditional love" must have been inspired by the unique relationship we share with our dogs. It is simply a deep joy and a an honor to be able to humbly work with our canine and feline friends. There's just no fooling those noses. I have learned that they can usually recognize a true animal lover upon meeting, observing body language and eye contact. I may specialize in Dogs but I really do LOVE Cats. I have worked with Fishes, Birds & Rabbits (and I am eager to learn to care for all sorts of beloved pets)

Safety, trust & environment

Experience has taught me that safety is not just a word. It really is an important philosophy to keep foremost in mind every single time I make a service call on your behalf. People and their pets have been able to rely on me to be punctual and consistent regardless of the weather conditions outside. *Due to the frightening rising costs of fuel I may need to ask for a discussion about a small mileage surcharge where there is significant driving involved* Even after all these years it is still critical for me to have a clearly defined schedule derived from notes/instructions. I am most confident when I can set up my hourly agenda and checklists to cover all that needs to be attended to. You can expect me to honor your home, possessions and loved ones with the utmost care, respect and discretion.

This was our first time using Rover, and Luie made it an absolutely amazing experience! He took such wonderful care of our kitties and completely put our minds at ease. Our biggest concern was making sure our oldest cat, Skittles, received medication, but Luie was able to administer it successfully and without any problems. He sent us lots of pictures and regular updates while we were away. It felt incredibly reassuring to know our cats were truly cared for so we did not have to worry at all. Luie is a fantastic sitter, and we highly recommend him to anyone!!

Luie was fantastic. It was our first time using anyone from Rover but we are so happy we got Luie. Our dog is a sweetheart but is also incredibly stubborn especially when her schedule is thrown off and her pack is missing. He did great with her while we were gone. He sent lots of pictures and videos showing how happy she was. He also was very patient and calm despite a blizzard blowing through the day before we were coming back. He made sure he would be able to extend his time with our pup just in case. Luckily we were still able to come back as scheduled. Despite the snow he made sure to shovel out space and still took our dog out for walks. We are so grateful for Luie being dependable and allowing us to step away for our vacation. We look forward to using him again in the future.

Schedule

I am a PC Technician who works from home so I have the ability to set my own schedule. Also keep in mind that I can be fairly flexible about certain aspects listed in MY SERVICES above individually on a case-by-case basis. I am blessed to be able to keep fairly busy caring for pets and grandchildren daily (I am obliged to meet up with the afternoon school buses @ 3:30 most weekdays)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Luie can host up to 9 drop-ins per day
Where do they sleep? What's the schedules for: Sleep / wake - where do they sleep over night? How frequent are feedings? Measurements? Supplements? Meds? Verbal commands we can expect them to respond to? (or wish to improve on) What's your technique to communicate 'no' to correct behavior in the moment? Favorite places to walk? (and actually produce stuff - not just sniff around for fun) How can you tell if they are stressed or uncomfortable? Triggers? Remedies? Where's the brush and how do they prefer to be petted? Any spots to avoid while touching? Does your dog go beyond sniffing poop landmines and actually try and grab them? What can I expect when we encounter other dogs, people, birds or wild rabbits? Add to that loud traffic, thunder and gunfire. How do they respond to rain, cold, snow and icy situations? Are they tempted by water to take a dip? For those who need excercise, what's their favorite toys to chase & fetch? I've got loads more I should add :)
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.
