Pet care experience

I love dogs and cats

I have taken care of friend's pets and have owned my own pets. Recently was employed by pet sitting/walking service and enjoyed it very much. I am looking for supplemental income. My schedule is flexible, but I am very willing to sit overnight. I prefer to stay in the Petworth-Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, Shaw and Logan Circle areas. I prefer to sit at the client's home because I have several tenants in my home. I ask for detailed list of pet's need and routines and I offer my best personal care.

Safety, trust & environment

Patricia took great care of my two cats, including administering liquid medication. I will definitely ask her back in the future!

Schedule

I am flexible, since I don't work full-time. Therefore, I am able to work around my client's schedule, whether it's picking up keys or accommodating last minute changes.

Patricia can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Do they have any conditions such as arthritis, tummy issues, issues with squirrels or other dogs. I had one dog who was triggered by motorcycles. My approach with dogs is to let them come to me on their terms when we first meet. That normally works well.
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.
