Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Sitter (Arist)

I am a Biologist and have always been interested and passionate about animals and other organisms. I became the only vegetarian/vegan in my family at age 12 due to my love for animals and have been vegetarian for over 15 years now. I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. Growing up, my mother was mostly afraid of cats and dogs. In fact, we had tortoises, fish, and even birds growing up in the family. This never shyed me from getting to know furry animals, and doing pet care. Most of my pet time with my friends pets and their families! I have always loved the chance to get to know pets and develop relationships with the furry animals. I am a frequent dog and cat sitter to many people in Washington DC. Back around 2017, when I did babysitting for a family with 2 little girls in Olney, I watched their grey cat named George! I have pet sat for several friends during their vacations. I took care of a family of 2 pitbulls and 1 beagle, the 3 musketeers. I also did cat sitting for house with 3 cats all with different personalities, Chairman Meow, Simon, and Beckett.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment and can do most pet sitting at the owners home. This is how I do cat sitting for long term stays at the owners home. When I first get a sitting gig it is best to start at the owners home where the pet is comfortable and happy! Later on after the pet knows me, it is opssible that they can come to my apartment. This apartment does not have fencing, but is in a neighborhood with huge trails for walking. The dogs would be on a leash when outside with me. I live along Sligo creek, Takoma Park where there are miles and miles of trails to do walking.

M is an amazing cat and dog sitter. She is a super active and energetic person and can entertain cats and dogs. Cats love her because she has a good heart and loves to play with any cat she comes across. She also enjoys going on long walks with the dogs she cares for too. She has cared for her siblings, cousins, friends and neighbors cats and dogs. She has been taking care of both dogs and cats for over a decade and has a lot of experience. She is a reliable and trustworthy person to watch and care for your pets.

M watched my very persnickety cat Chairman Meow when I was out of town for a while. Chairman is skittish and grumpy but M’s beautiful personality immediately made her feel comfortable. I’m so glad we hired M to watch my baby!

Schedule

UPDATE: recently laid off so my availability is OPEN + FLEXIBLE TIMING, especially evenings - i can walk dogs a few times a day. depending on what you need. i can cat sit for several days at a time for your vacations, and secure a longterm sit term. I typically 9-5 M-F and commute through traffic, so I can typically get to the house in the morning before work and then later again around 6p to feed, play, and take care of litter. I can return in the morning for breakfast if applicable. Flexible night and weekends. I prefere to do long term sits for your vacations.
