“Sadie did great taking care of my two cats. Contacted her on a little bit of a short notice and she was willing to take care of my two cats while I went to the beach.

About: I started caring for pets in college (~2015), I am now a Medical student at PSCOM. Pet care is a great way to raise funds for my education and do something I love! My dedication to my education and my responsibilities as a pet caretaker go hand-in-hand. I will apply my time management skills to ensure your pet gets the upmost care and I succeed as a medical student. I grew up with dogs: chihuahuas, german shepherds, saint bernards, and pitbulls. I have cared for small-to-extra large dogs. Loved each experience! I love to run/walk near-by trails and hikes. If you are comfortable with me taking your pets, I would gladly do so! I always send photo updates. I have two Jack Russel mixes of my own, they have taught me everything (I didn't know) about pet ownership and responsibility! I walk them 1-2miles daily, if your dog is pet friendly and you are comfortable with it, I will walk them with your dog! If you want me to house sit, I will be studying most of the time and would appreciate a well-lighted desk and/or kitchen table! Would love to get to know your fur-baby! Happy to answer any questions. I am a medical student on clinical rotations so this varies. But I am an early morning riser, and can fit in a 1-2 mile walk/run (whatever you& your pet are comfortable with) before starting my day. If the location is near my area, lunch visits to your pets are possible. I would never schedule pet care if I could not get to your pets within 4-8hours (my calendar will be updated accordingly)! Afternoon care would involve me studying and going to the gym, everything modeled around whatever routine you& your pet are used to. At my home, my sun room is converted into a fenced area for my dogs. Small & Medium sized dogs are welcome to join. (fence is too low for a large+ dog) I have an unfenced yard, dogs would only go on there as I prepare them to go on a neighborhood walk. Pets would sleep on their individual beds inside the home. If I am house sitting and your pet is used to sleeping on the bed, that is okay with me. If your pet is staying in my home, I will be placing their bed inside or leave outside per your decision. (pet must be pad-trained or able to retain until morning)

Rutherford cat parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you for helping us out with the cats with very little notice. I hope we can contact you again when we have the chance to get away for a few days.
So responsive and always willing to help out! She takes such great care of our animals while we’re away!
Sadie was great as usual! We have requested her services three times and every time she has been wonderful for our cats and takes very good care of them while we are out on vacations.
Ta-Miko took such great care of Gus Gus. I highly recommend! She not only fed and cleaned up after him but she played with him, loved on him and sent great photos and videos each day!
Very positive experience. She played with our cat, fed her, and cleaned her litter box as requested. She also watered our plant which was quite nice. Our cat was cared for for the entire week and seemed happy and content. I’d certainly recommend Taylor, she said she has cats of her own and that is evident with the way she took care of Binx. Good catsitter!
Emily was a great friend to Liam, our 15 year old cat. She provided food, water & treats as per instruction; cleaned & tidied; and sent photos.
Mary took great care of our kitten while we were away. We loved the pictures she sent and our kitten loved the playtime!
Thanks for taking care of my cats and bunnies, and keeping an eye on the house while we were on vacation! 🙏
