“This was my 2nd time using Rover and requesting Glenmary. She is amazing!! The photos and notes she posted were so complete and helpful that I really felt comfortable with my decision to use Rover, and especially picking Glenmary and her partner!! My fur baby loves her and comes home happy and relaxed. She is the best and helped me out with zero notice both times! (I know, I'm a headache!! 🤕) Thank you so much Glenmary!!!”

19. Samantha H.
“Samantha is quite possibly the biggest dog lover I’ve ever met. She not only executes my instructions exactly as requested, she also goes above and beyond to check in, send pictures, and give my dog some extra attention those first days when I leave for a trip when he really needs it. I would recommend Samantha to anyone who wants a consummate pet expert who will love your pets as much as you do.”


20. Myia S.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I currently work part time in downtown albany. I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I love to go on walks or cozy up with my favorite book. I’d love to have a fur baby join me in these activities! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!
