About: I've grown up around cats and have sat for multiple families. I love cats of all ages and look forward to getting to know each and every one. I enjoy plants as well and am happy to care for plants while you are away. I currently work full time during weekdays and would unavailable during typical business hours. I would happy to drop by and spend time with your pet first thing after I leave work and on weekends. I always meet you and your pet before committing to sitting for you to ensure we are a good match and your pet feels comfortable with me. I meet the pet where they are in the environment that is most comfortable for them. I ask questions in advance to ensure I am prepared to meet your pets needs while you are away.
“We have used David several times and he is great. He keeps us updated about our dogs, sends texts and pictures to let us know how they are doing, and he is very easy going and excellent to work with. One of the best people I have worked with on Rover, would recommend him to anyone and is my first choice when I need someone to look after my dogs.”
“Cloey was great! Sent great summaries and pictures, very attentive to our cats, and perfectly executed our complicated instructions. Will definitely call her again!”
“Ananda took wonderful care of our sweet but finicky cat ahead of the holidays! She went above beyond to read care instructions beforehand, sent regular, detailed updates with pictures that put us at ease, and even took the time to feed the wild birds in our yard. Truly an animal person!”
“Tracie did a great job with my two dogs and two cats over the course of the week and I would definitely use her to per sit again! She was very responsive, kept in touch regularly, handled one cat who is an escape artist and another one who hides from strangers, and even watered my plants. This is the first time I've used this service and I was very happy with it.”
“Jamie went above what I asked and my cat was super happy when I came home! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!! This was my first time using rover and I was very anxious but Jamie was great and I had nothing to worry about.”
“Therese helped us in a last-minute situation and we are glad she was available. She checked in on our 3 little dogs who needed to be let out and get some love during the day. She was so great at giving updates and pictures and I could tell the dogs were happier when they were let out. She was sensitive to each of the dogs’ temperaments and needs, which was very important to us! We will definitely use her again.”
“I am so grateful to have had Heather provide her care to my cat, Merri, over the holidays. I want to highlight how she went above and beyond over the blizzard, going over for an extra visit (without me asking) to let the faucets drip and make sure Merri was warm enough. Thank you so much, and happy new year, Heather.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.
