Safety, trust & environment

As a Rover user myself, I understand the importance of having a sitter that will get to know your pet’s quirks, especially for shy cats. Whether your pet needs a friend to sit with them while they munch, coax them out from under the bed, or play with them for the whole visit, I’m happy to oblige. I will provide lots of love while also refreshing water, food, and litter and checking to make sure your cat hasn’t been too mischievous around the house. For doggos, I’m happy to explore new neighborhoods on walks or trips to the dog park to ensure they get some good exercise and playtime in. And, of course, I’ll send you plenty of updates and photos in the process. I hope to give you piece of mind to know your furry loved one is well cared for while you’re away.

Information Nancy P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any preferred toys or play areas! It’s also helpful to know if they have treats or special food routines I should follow. I’ll also ask for more details about any no-go pet zones (e.g., the belly is hands off on my kitty even though he looks like he’d welcome some scritches!) or anything I should keep an eye out for.

A typical day

For cats, I know the power of a good catnip toy, wand toy, and a mini tennis ball. I’ll keep your kitty busy with play time and cuddles while also refreshing and caring for their space. For dogs, I’m happy to break out the food puzzles, throw the ball in the backyard, make our way to the dog park, or simply share some snuggles on their favorite couch.

Pet care experience

As a dog lady converted into a cat person, nothing brings me more joy that earning a cat’s or shy pup’s trust and affection. I grew up caring for Labrador retrievers and I now have two indoor kitties of my own - Waldo and Lettuce. However, I’ve been caring for animals for all of my adult life, including a long term stint caring for 2 dogs (pug & springer spaniel) and 5 cats (of all sizes and temperaments) and frequent drop ins for friends and neighbors. It’s such a joy learning about the personality of each pet, and I’d love the chance to get to know your furry loved ones. With two of my own, I know the importance of not only providing quality care and cuddles but also frequent and timely updates with plenty of photos. I also have experience administering oral medication and inhalers for asthma should your cat or dog need any extra care.
