Pet care experience

Dog Person Turned Cat Owner!

I have one pet, and I am an aunt to many others! I am no stranger to unique dietary needs (food allergies arose for both my current cat and my former dog). I have cared for highly energetic dogs, small sweet senior dogs, social playful cats, shy cats… I’ve even looked after Guinea pigs and a gerbil. I look forward to meeting your pet, no matter what age or energy level!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I let pets take the lead on how social they would like to be. My cat tends toward shyness and does not appreciate uninvited touching, while my friend’s dog prefers engaged playtimes with my full attention. I respect pets’ comfort level as well as their routines—if your dog has a very strange or specific release word at mealtime… if your cat demands a particular treat at a particular time of night… let me know, I’ll accommodate!

Maura did a fantastic job taking care of my shy girls. She earned their trust very quickly and was even able to get them to play! I would highly recommend her.

Did a good job! Wybie seemed very happy with her care and in good spirits! Firsts visits of the day were on occasion a bit later than hoped, but all around generally happy with the care Maura gave.

Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!

Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like updates on while you’re away! I can keep an eye out if there are any specific behaviors you’re worried about, for example.
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.
