Human filled with loving kindness

Pet care experience

I grew up taking care of my family dog, a Shih Tzu that lived to be 15 years old. Over the last year, I have begun cat sitting and dog sitting for friends while their out of town. I’ve been loving being with the animals and their different personalities. I also really love caring for them! As a person who gets a long with everyone, I easily get along and bond with all cats and dogs I’ve sitted for thus far. From German Shepard to Golden Retriever to Goldendoodle to Shiba Inu to Shorthair to Siamese to Bengal to Mutt and more. I have many references if you need.

Michael is great to work with, always responsive and proactive in his communication, and leaves the house immaculate. Most importantly, out kitty always seems very happy and well-cared for upon our return!

Michael is a very nice guy and no question about his love for animals. His calm demeanor is like an “Animal Whisperer”. We had no problem leaving our cat and dog with him, and it was obvious they liked him. The only misunderstanding is that we hadn’t discussed with Michael about his having a friend stay over; we were across the country and through our Ring system, discovered another car and what turns out to be his girlfriend. This should have been discussed and we should have been able to meet her beforehand. We don’t know Rover’s protocol. Michael was understanding and sorry; he said he thought we knew that he had a girlfriend. I don’t think he would do that again without getting prior authorization. And I definitely don’t think he would hang out with a questionable person, but his girlfriend isn’t vetted by Rover. Wonder how that works with Rover when someone’s guest stays for an extended period of time; it’s normal to want company.

I am very responsible and clearly follow the owner’s instructions for care. If I have any questions about something I always ask the owner before acting. I’ve also been in emergency situations and acted accordingly if urgent vet car has been needed. I am very cleanly and I like leave the house even cleaner than when I arrived.
