About: I grew up with a dogs and cats. I love their snuggles! I have joined Rover to give myself a bit of boost. I used to have a dog named Mabellene, she was wonderful, I currently own a cat. I’ve always had a pet, so they are the first thing on my mind when I’m leaving the office ……or waking up in the morning. I only sit in my apartment on special circumstances, my cat has to be okay with the dog. In your home I follow all rules and basic etiquette when in someone else’s space.
“Cassidy was great! We have three animals, and she tools great care of them all. Minimally, Cassidy is a cat whisperer. Our cat hates everyone outside of our nuclear family, but she somehow coaxed him into cuddle sessions. But more so she made sure the dogs were walked and loved on. We couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Candice did a very nice job house/dog sitting for 10 days. Everything was well attended and the dogs were happy and healthy. Despite a massive wind storm on the first day that took down a major part of a large tree and knocked out the electricity for 4 hours, Candice communicated with us and managed what might have been a very difficult time. We would definitely have her come again.”

Makena G.
“Makena is a life long lover of all animals. I have frequently called her "the animal wisperer." She somehow has a second sense about her that even the most timid, anxious, abused, and neglected animals seem to connect and immediately feel safe with her. My super protective and anxious Australian shepherd would go absolutely bonkers at the mention of her name. They had a special connection that not many could develop with my crazy guy! Her huge heart for the love she shares with animals has made her an amazing person. Sometimes the love of a pet and their love for you is the best connection and one of the most meaningful types of relationships we develop in life. Blair her dog is treated better than most humans and Makena is her best friend! She loves playing in the water, taking rides, going on trails. Makena is the owner, but Blair is the boss! She does anything and everything to keep her at her happiest. Makena's extensive history for working with other people's most precious pets makes her an exceptional candidate for this position. I have no doubt that Makena will excel! As I have noted, with her love of animals, devotion to the happiness of animals, and caring heart, she will without a doubt win over her client's and their pets!”
