There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.

Information Sara & Raymond K. would like to know about your pet

We would prefer any dogs that already have experience with cats or tend to be non reactive if they haven’t met a cat before. Just so there isn’t too much stress with our pets. Feel free to still message us for a meet and greet because we recently did a day service with a dog with no experience and he was a very good boy to our cats. For cats/bunnies: our cats seem to be fine as long as we give everyone space before a meeting.

A typical day

For all pets: we would do scheduled feedings and play time. For dogs: We have a decent size patio, but also our complex has a lot of grass areas we can do walks on. If you dog requires multiple long walks, due to our work weeks we may not be able to accommodate that.

Pet care experience

We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet.

Sara and Raymond were great cat sitters. Very attentive, professional, responsive and detail-oriented. I felt my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book them again and highly recommend!

1000% recommended. Sara and Ray took amazing care of Sola, provided pictures and videos through the whole stay and made sure her care needs were followed. No doubt the best option in Rover!
