About: With 4 pets of my own, 2 cats and 2 dogs, I know all about caring for pets. From walks, parks, playtime, feeding, bathing, and even administering medication. I have been on Rover for a little over a year providing care for pets! I just started a full-time job, so my schedule is limited to weekends mainly with a few weekdays available here and there. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their animals often. I make sure to make time for their fur babies often throughout the days. I feed them depending on their owner’s preferred schedule, and follow any special needs. I leave it up to the owner to tell me what they would like me to do while watching their babies, as I know everyone has different preferences!

10. Farren S.
“My cat was not feeling well when I had to leave unexpectedly for a family emergency. Farren came over to check on him and make sure he was doing ok. She was diligent about checking in on him regularly and kept amazing communication with me the whole time. She helped monitor his eating, drinking and even his litter box while I was away. She gave me such peace of mind with the updates, videos and photos she sent! She cared for him like he was her baby. I was so lucky to have her take care of my little man while I was away! And now of course, my cat LOVES her! Thanks Farren!”

14. Beth V.
“I first met Beth about 5 years ago when I needed to find a new home for my dog Trixie. I was very picky about who she would go to, because even though I couldn't keep her, I still love her. Beth and Trixie took up with each other and I just new she would be a perfect match! She takes amazing care of Trixie, long walks, regular check ups and a great diet with quality treats. I would highly recommend Beth as an amazing care giver/ pet sitter.”
