Information Theo D. would like to know about your pet

I will endeavor to collect all critical information from you before our meet and greet. That being said, please let me know if your pet has any specific anxieties. I do not want to cause your pet any undo worry! Even though I am as non-threatening as can be, I am sure it will be worrying enough having a stranger taking care of them. And, of course, tell me about any favorite toys, specific play times or activities, medicines, and treat rules! I will require more detailed handling procedures with reptiles and birds to ensure I am providing the best care.

A typical day

I have a keen interest in animal behavior, especially cats and dogs. It is vital to read the subtleties of our pets' language and listen to what they have to say. Our feline friends, in particular, are truly loving and expressive individuals. We have to learn to speak their language! And while dogs are more understood in that respect, knowing exactly what makes them tick is key. In that vein, I will defer first to the owner on their pet's favorite toys and unique habits. After which, I will keep a sharp eye on the pet themselves and whatever activities keep them happy. I am open to anything from vigorous playtime sessions and long walks to quiet evenings "ignoring" each other. (And this goes for reptiles & birds too.) But no extra food or chewing up the couch pillows! :)

Pet care experience

I am a 24-year-old college student searching for pet-sitting opportunities in Tallahassee, Florida. I am passionate about animals and plan on entering a Zoology-related career field. My specialty lies in reptiles, amphibians, and cats, but I am just as capable of caring for small dogs and birds. I do not accept large dogs as I am a slight individual and have difficulty handling them. Over the years, I have cared for a boa constrictor, a leopard gecko, two rats, two African dwarf frogs, a red-eared slider, a Shih Tzu, and a total of seven cats. Fun Fact: Jackson Galaxy and Steve Irwin are heroes of mine! My schedule is flexible, and I will work part or full-time as required. I am willing to stop by once a day or stay the night with your pet(s) as needed. I have reliable transportation and can care for small animals at any client's home in the Tallahassee area. With all pets, I will require a meeting beforehand to ensure they are comfortable with me and that I am providing the best possible care. This will include me writing down all necessary information, such as emergency contact numbers, feeding schedules, specific care requirements, and household upkeep. I will maintain steady contact with the client through phone calls and texts while caring for their animal(s).

Theo is my go-to pet sitter! They send lots of pictures and are a great communicator. I feel comfortable knowing my 2 kitties are under great care.

I would highly recommend booking Theo as a pet sitter! They were very attentive and wonderful at communicating with us while we were away. Couldn't ask for more! Theo made it easy to relax while traveling, knowing that my cat was in good hands. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was well taken care of.

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.
