Pet care experience

I will treat your pet like my own

Resident Pets I have a dog named Lola who is nine years old and she loves to play catch and actually play with the cats. I have two cats in my house with all unique personalities. I have Chopper who is 10 years old and is basically like a dog. He listens to commands, and loves to cuddle. He's the ham of the group. II have Lemmy who I rescued off the streets and he is 4 years old. He is the shy one of the group and keeps to himself unless he wants food of course. Resident Individuals: In our household, I have my older son that lives with me and my fiancee. My son is the trainer amongst us and has done a great job with Lola. My fiancee is the dog lover of the household and loves to cuddle and play with Lola. I love them all of course. What can we learn from our animal friends? Our animal friends can teach us to love unconditionally. What is the best part about being a pet sitter? I love making new animal friends and human friends. Being a pet sitter will give me the opportunity to meet some amazing animal friends and work with some great clients. I am also excited to work with clients to make their experience and their pet’s experience the best possible.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I typically watch pets in their own homes and basically just hang with them, watch TV, cuddle and chill out. If they like to play outside, we will do that as well throwing balls or frisbees or maybe just enjoying the weather.

Mary Kate was an outstanding house sitter. She cares deeply for the pets in the house, giving them love and attention. She left the house in beautiful shape was highly respectful. Will definetley use her again.

MaryKate has done pet sitting for us several times. This time for 8 days. She is great. Lots of updates. She really loves pets. Handles medications well and early wakeups for trips outside. I have no worries when she is in charge of my house and pets. My anxious dog was completely happy when I got home.

Mary Kate is awesome. Our cats love her and even the shy ones will eventually come out from hiding. The house is always left clean and tidy.

This is the second time that Mary Kate has sat for my dog with anxiety issues and two cats. She is just perfect. She stays in contact. She asks questions if needed. Leaves the house as if she was never there. And my dog is not anxious or pouty because I was gone. I have complete confidence when going out of town.

I just moved to Georgia from Texas and have time in the mornings and evenings to take care of my little friends. It would be nice to make some new friends in the meantime as well.

I like to know about their personality before I sit with them. I can take care of any personality, but it's good to know if they don't like their belly rubbed or if one toy is their favorite. I also like to know about their eating behaviors and if they have any diet restrictions.
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.
