Pet care experience

I will lower your everyday stress!

I have raised 3 unique, beautiful beagles in my home. They have given me principles, taught me lessons, and given me positivity when darkness was all around me. Every time I see them, I try to show that appreciate through the actions words could never express. my relatives bring their dogs over, I can most positively say they are most happy to see me. Check out my animal collage (Posting collage soon!) I love exploring new paths in my neighborhood. I walk (sometimes sprint) outside at least 3 times a day. I mind my own business, keep to myself, make all my neighbor’s dog bark at me (unintentionally of course!) , get grumpy with myself, and feel like I do not belong… Now, imagine me with all the community’s dogs around me. 😉 😂😂😂 I do not see a better solution for all of us. ❤️ Something that we can all agree on: dogs LOVE attention! I will treat your pets with more care than I could ever give to humans. Since all of us kids have graduated college, my parents have vetoed a new doggo in our life. So with Rover, I can finally build the wealth needed to grow up, look for new apartments to house all my future pets! #StopPoundingDogs

Safety, trust & environment

Before booking any services, I always have a detailed journal with pre-filled questions that I use to facilitate our meet & greet. These questions help me understand your pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, and ensure that I have notes for future bookings. I also make sure to have a discussion with you about the service you want, whether it is house sitting, drop-in visits, or boarding. In my care, pets will receive individualized attention and tailored services based on our pre-discussed agreement. I will follow your instructions and routines, and also provide extra love and fun for your pets. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can rest assured that your pets are happy and safe.

Mike was fantastic! He stayed in touch, kept us posted on the happenings and loved on our pets! As I told him, it’s so nice to come home after a couple of days and everything feels right! We would recommend Mike for sure!

Mike was professional and kept our home nice and clean during his 8 day stay with our pups. He was able to administer ear drops to one of our dogs without issue during our trip. They had plenty of playtime and cuddle time with Mike around. This was definitely some much needed peace of mind on our vacation. Thank you Mike!

Overall everything was great. Then I got home and my bathroom looks like someone threw up all over it. I had to take an hour to scrub it.

This was our 1st time using Rover and Mike made the experience very pleasant. He is very responsive and stayed in-touch with us through the weekend house/pet-sit. Our pug-boys were well taken care of and had a pal to keep them company.

Schedule

Hello, this is Copilot. I can help you improve your pet sitting response. Here is a possible enhanced version: Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. As a graduate student and an online Tech Instructor, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pets. I work from home on my laptop, so I can be with your pets during my online meetings (only one per week) and take them for walks or play with them during my breaks. I love house sitting because it gives me the opportunity to stay at your home and provide constant care and attention to your pets. I only leave your home once or twice a week for a few hours to attend my graduate classes, which are not stressful as I only take one or two courses per semester to maintain a high GPA. I enjoy creating a relaxed and fun environment for your pets and making sure they are happy and comfortable while you are away.

Before any booking, I always cover essential questions in our first meeting or chat with the pet owners. One of the important things I need to know is their pets’ outdoor preferences and rules. For example, are the pets allowed to go outside? If so, do they need supervision to or can they roam freely? Knowing I had of time if there’s any possibility of a gate being open door dangers with neighbors pets really helps prepare and guarantee safety. :)
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.
