Dog/Cat Care for your Furbabies

As far back as I can remember I have always had a dog or cat in my family. Growing up, our pets were very special in that they were treated to gifts at Christmas and baskets at Easter - one of the family, and lived long lives because they were so loved. Later, I became enamored of cats and have since loved one or more at one time in my home. My mother had to go in to assisted living in 2013 so I brought her sweet little chihuahua, Jack, who was her beloved companion since 2003 into my home (with my two cats) to love and care for him. I sadly had to put little Jack down 1 week before his 16th birthday. I can care for your loved fur-babies in my home or I can come to their home (in the case of cats - mine are leary of strangers) and handle litter box duties and feeding. For you dog/puppy parents, I am like a magnet to them - they tend to seek me out.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 15 yr old cat who has learned to tolerate boarded dogs. I will treat your fur baby as my own - they can sleep in my bed, if needed, but if they are aggressive toward my cat they will need a pen.

Phyllis was fantastic with our Bob. She communicated with us well. She even stuck around one morning when the door malfunctioned and a locksmith was called out.

Phyllis took absolutely wonderful care of our cats. She was friendly, professional, and incredibly dependable throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent-she responded quickly to every message and was very prompt with scheduling. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were in such capable hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Phyllis did a great job taking care of our cats. They were well fed and happy when we returned. She provided updates regularly to let us know all was well. Great experience!

Phyllis has cared for our cat twice now and I will always book her if she is available! She sent pictures and detailed massages on our fur baby everyday, responded to my texts, she kept our space clean so when we came home there were no messes. She even brought in packages from outside which she didn’t have to do. 100% would recommend trusting her in your home and with your pet(s)! 😊

My babies and I just LOVE Ms. Phyllis! She loves on them like they’re her own and they even wait hit her by the door and clamor for her loving (one can be pretty shy so that’s amazing to me!) - she sends me the sweetest pics each day too. I travel with sone frequency and Ms. Phyllis has watched them three times for me now and I already plan on a fourth. Highly recommend! 😻😻😻

Schedule

I work 3 days a week as a nanny - boarding is only on the days I’m home, so your fur babies will not be kept in a pen.

Cats
Phyllis can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I will need to know the feeding schedule, favorite type of exercise or playing and toys, and favorite petting/grooming technique and any medications to be administered. If you have a cat, I need to know the type personality, i.e. is the cat spooked easily, will he/she try to run out the door and/or leary of strangers and stay hidden or whether they could be aggressive.
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.
