Your rules are my rules as well. If your animals have a specific routine, we will continue to adhere to that same routine. I want your pets to continue to feel the same level of comfort in their own home.

Information Russell B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any reactions or get anxious in certain situations (scared of storms, food guarding, don't like seeing animals on TV, etc.) to help keep them happy and relaxed while you are gone.

A typical day

Playing fetch, tug a war, belly rubs - we can do it all! With cats, I have yet to find I cat I don't like. Chasing a laser, playing with their favorite crinkle toy & just some good chin scratches.

Pet care experience

Growing up with a house full of animals (including my orange tabby that I bottle-fed as a baby) has made dogs and cats feel like family to me. This means I understand the unique energy and needs of your furry companions. I currently share my home with two active cats, Beans and Cowboy, who serve as my very energetic (and very early morning) alarm clocks. I offer services including dog-sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and/or dog walking. When I care for your pet(s), my priority is making sure they have the best experience with me while you are away. This includes engaging activities like walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company. I take great pride in ensuring your animal is happy and healthy when you return.

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.
