Experienced Pet Sitter At Home

Over the last 16 years I have had the pleasure of working with cats and dogs in corporate and freelance settings. I’ve had the opportunity to watch a tiny 3lb chihuahua puppy to 100lb German shepherds, from 3 month old puppies to senior dogs taking several medications at different times of the day. I’m confident I will be able to follow any instructions you provide.

Satsuki was amazing. She watched our 5-month-old husky overnight last minute and made our first boarding experience completely stress-free. She sent photo updates, communicated clearly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well cared for. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book again. 10/10 recommend.

I've booked Satsuki twice now over the holidays. She has taken excellent care of my cat Audrey and is very communicative about her visits.

Satsuki did a fabulous job taking care of our skittish dog, Annie. She was so patient and made sure Annie had everything she needed. We would definitely have Satsuki take care of Annie again.

Happily rebooked and knew my cats would be in good hands. She provided daily updates, sent photos, and did a great job looking after my 2 cats. Highly recommend and will rebook again whenever I’m out of town.

Schedule

I started cat sitting when I lived in New York City where I did drop-in in visits for an hour or two. I also fostered over 20 cats over the two years I lived in Manhattan. Through this experience I worked with newborn kittens to senior cats. I became knowledgeable in dog care when I worked for Biscuits and Bath, a doggy daycare company where I watched and played with a variety of breeds from yorkshire terriers to bernese mountain dogs. I gained valuable skills in basic dog training, walking multiple dogs at a time, and general care for dogs with different temperaments and personalities.

Safety, trust & environment

Now that I've been on Rover since May 2021, I've worked with over 50 clients to care for their dogs and cats in the DMV area. I've watched a variety of breeds and ages, some of which have had special needs or needed medication. After we establish pick up/drop off times and dates, we can go into what your expectations are and how I will meet you and your pet's needs.

Pets

A typical day

When I do cat drop ins, I will clean all food/water bowls, refill water, refill food as directed, scoop litter and throw it out daily, provide my own bags to dispose of the litter, sweep around the litter box, and give your pets as much attention as they want.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Satsuki can host up to 3 pets per night
Questions I typically ask when we have our meet & greet include: Do they have any food allergies? Do they have separation anxiety? Any aggressive behavior? Any destructive behavior? Any spiteful behavior? Any quirks? Where are their hiding spaces? Favorite treats?
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.
