Pet Sitting Summit-University

About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.

“Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)”

“Abrielle took great care of our kitty and gave him lots of love while we were gone. She also sent tons of updates and videos which were fun to see. Thanks Abrielle!”

“Sara’s care for or cat (Pemba) was exemplary! She tuned in to Pemba’s personality immediately, and Pemba responded without any hesitation. The daily reports and images were comprehensive and set us at ease while we traveled. Thanks, Sara!”

“Mary did a great job with our Great Pyrenees! Smooth transition from home to a walk and back again. Our pup looked so happy on her walk with Mary. :)”

“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pups over the weekend! She did great with administering oral medication to our senior dog and arrived on time and stayed the full length of the visit for every visit. Our dogs love her and we can’t wait to book with her next time!”

“Wren was such an amazing pet sitter! Their communication was above and beyond and they were extremely reliable and respectful. We will be booking them again！”

About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

“Brittany was great, fast responder and sent us some photos of our girl on her drop-ins. Would use her again in the future!”

“Kelsey was a delight, very communicative, overall a very easy person to work with. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. We hired her for several drop-ins while I was out of town and she and my dog so clearly had a great time with each other. Such a gem!”

“Molly was very dependable and seemed to enjoy spending time with our cats, which was such a comfort when we were away. We really enjoyed all the pictures as well!”

“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”

“Cassian was great with our boys. He took time with them he brushed them they hung out on the porch, everyday. He kept me updated on a daily basis on how thing was going. Hr sent lots of pics. I'm really happy with Cassian and I would recommand him to others. With Cassian I was worry free being away from my boy. Thank you Cassian!!!”

“Sophie was great!! She kept me very updated on my kitties with detailed messages and lots of pictures! I know my kittens loved playing with her and I felt great knowing they were in good hands! Would definitely have back!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.

“Andrea is great! We were gone overnight and she made sure to accommodate our dogs' schedules, as well as tailoring the visit to fit their needs. We received visit updates complete with walk routes--I would highly recommend her!”

About: I've been taking care of and loving dogs for ten years. I've got experience in puppy training - I trained both of my own puppies myself. Pill taking and other medical conditions are no worry either - I'll care for every dog like my own, including their medical needs. I'm available anytime! I have all the time to play with your pet and can easily do overnight stays. I accept same day bookings with ease. I will adjust to your pet's routine - if they need to be let out at 6 am I'll make it work. I'm happy to give your pet all the love they deserve (even hours of belly rubs).
