Pet care experience
Pets are people too. I try to treat each animal I meet with respect in the same way that I would a person. I'll be gentle but firm when your dog needs to be told no. I'll give your cat the personal space it wants but also cuddles if that's what it wants. Your pet is unique and I try to meet it where it is. I love going for long dog walks as well as just hanging around at home with pets and being a companion for them. And I like cozy time on the sofa too. My 14 year-old cat Muku will always cuddle up to me at night since I know just how to massage her old bones. I hike, so going for long rambling walks in the city is just another way to explore alongside your canine friend. I have experience taking care of a variety of pets: from 5-pound terriers to 70+ dogs, many cats, guinea pigs, chickens, and several different parrot breeds. I know that some pets have very specific instructions for their care, so I'm careful to get everything down on paper and check it every day to make sure I'm not missing something.
Reviews
Rowan was great. We have 2 energetic dogs that he took care of. He also took are of our cat. During our vacation he kept in contact sending us pictures and letting us know how things were going. Would definitely recommend him and use him again.
Rowan took such good care of Arty (my cat). He was communicative and sent me pictures and videos the whole time. My place was also well taken cared of. Highly recommend! Thanks Rowan! -Mai & Arty
We have used Rowan to pet sit for us on several occasions. We have both cats and dogs. Rowan is attentive to their different personalities. This makes him a terrific petsitter for households with more than one animal. He gives cats their space if they are shy, but also cuddles them, giving them sofa time, if they are lonely and missing their people. He gives little dogs lots of one-on-one attention. He actually carried our old deaf dog around, so he wouldn't be so lonely. He took our big dog for long walks to the park. He took our social, needy terrier to cafes with outdoor seating, and to the nearby university to hang with students. All in all, he is creative and thoughtful in his pet parenting approach. He doesn't just do the basics, he focuses on the special needs. I heartily recommend him.
