I started caring for pets through Rover in Fall 2023. I've cared for almost all cats, and one dog so far through this app. Some of the cats have been elderly, taken meds, had special diets, or been varying levels of spicy. So far I haven't had a house I wouldn't return to. 😀 I've had and loved animals for my whole life, and helped care for friends' and families' pets since I was a teenager. For 6 years I cared for a cat with diabetes and feline herpes, which caused chronic dry eye in one of his eyes. I was able to inject his insulin and give him eye-drops twice a day at his meal times. That was over a decade ago, so I would need a refresher to feel comfortable injecting someone's kitty. For 2 years I cared for an elderly black lab during holidays while the family traveled. She was the sweetest girl. She didn't require too much extra help except sometimes to get up if her back end was hurting. She is the only dog my kitties ever liked. Most recently my current cat had a luxating patella (sliding back knee) that required surgery. It was a long recovery but she can walk and run now. I am still working on her extra weight from the time that she couldn't be active, and had to eat extra food to take the pain meds. Other than that, in my (almost) 32 years, I've had 6 cats and 3 dogs. I've trained 2 dogs from puppies (basic commands and manners).
