Cat Dad and Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have taken care of a long list of dog breeds and personalities over the years, from quiet tiny dogs to high energy Bernese mountain dogs and retrievers. I have no breed preferences and love all animals. I have experience with senior animals, injuries and recovery. I can administer any oral medications or vitamins needed.

Parker is extremely experienced with taking care of cats and dogs. He was responsive to my messages on Rover and any questions I had. In the past I have had my cat boarded twice at a vet with a small 4x8 cat box. From the vet stays she came back frightened. With Parker, he offered my cat to have her own private room with windows for bird watching. He provided multiple updates via messages, summaries, photos, and videos. I looked forward to each update, seeing that she was well taken care of. He has also been extremely friendly and flexible with changes to pickup and drop-off days which I am grateful for. My cat was well-cared for here and I would love to have her stay with Parker for any future vacations. Unlike the vet, when my cat was in the car and back home from Parker's she was her normal self. I appreciate Parker's understanding and patience with my cat. She is very loving and affectionate to the people she knows but can be feisty. Thank you so much, Parker!

Parker and his wife took great care of our dog Ivan while we were away on our two week vacation. He followed all of our care instructions and even sent daily updates with pictures. Next time we need a dog sitter we will be calling Parker.

Parker was wonderful and took great care of my pup! Definitely recommend for older dogs who need a chill space to relax :)

Parker did a great job sitting my 2 rambunctious four month old kittens! It was my first time leaving them in someone else’s care, and it really put my mind at ease to receive pictures of them doing so well. Definitely recommend Parker for cat care!

Safety, trust & environment

We have cats at home who are tolerant of dogs. They get along variably with cats. Depending on you and your cat’s preferences, we can introduce them for longer stays or they can stay in a private room. We have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and more cat scratch pads and toys than we can count. I will keep to your pet’s schedule as closely as possible to maintain their routine.

Information Parker M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know how your pet does with other animals so everyone has a stress free stay. I generally ask to bring a favorite bed, toy, or blanket from home so guests have a little something familiar while they’re here. Tell me their feeding schedule and anything we should watch out for.

A typical day

I live on a quiet street with plenty of options for walking. The yard is full of tennis balls for fetch if your dog is up for it. For cat guests, we have a good population of birds that can be viewed from most windows and many toys for them to borrow from our cats.
