About: I have had furry friends in my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, babies to seniors. I am familiar with training techniques and body language in dogs and cats. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can adjust to better take care of your fur baby. I am good at following instructions and adapting if the situation calls for it. I am not afraid to clean up any messes left behind by your fur baby.
“Katey is exceptional. So reliable. Our dog is more excited to see her than us sometimes, which is really all the info anyone should need. I never have to worry about our dog when Katey is checking on her.”
About: I’ve had 15 years of experience in taking care of other people’s pets as well as having my own, I had a small business with my sister but we eventually stopped for her to pursue babysitting instead. I have worked with a variety of animals and have some basic knowledge from my previous job at petsmart, I know this site is for cats and dogs but I am also willing to do other animals as well. I do have some training in dog grooming from my job, but I am only comfortable with bathing and drying off. My best time for scheduling would be from 9 AM to 3 PM, anything else I really cannot fit into my schedule due to personal commitments. I suppose my best way to answer this is to love them. I love animals, and I know animals are not all the same. They need specific care and specific needs met, and every one of those looks different for each animal. One of the best things I can do as a pet sitter is to provide the care needed, and to show the attention needed as well. Instructions and expectations are set for a reason, and I am willing to follow any one of those to ensure your animals are taken care of to the best of my ability.
About: I don't judge by breed, size, or by age! I have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, birds, small mammals, and plants. I also have experience in training dogs of all ages My final picture is of me as a child with my cat, Silver. *I am not a groomer, I can give baths but I will not trim claws or fur. **For best results, please give me a list ahead of time of all tasks you want me to do and locations of things I may need (e.g., food, medications, trash can, etc.). I'm an aspiring entrepreneur and I'm using Rover to fund my small business that I'm starting. This means that, for the most part, my schedule is very flexible. My future business will also donate to multiple charities, so hiring me is almost like donating to charity! I offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I cannot house your pet in my home and I will only do overnights for my regular customers.
