“Once again our boy loved to see his friend Veronika while we went on our honeymoon! While we were out, our barcart broke due to the weight of something we had put on it and she let us know right away and cleaned up the broken glass to keep our boy safe. He can't wait to see her again!”
“Sam was incredible with our two kitties! Loved all of the photos and videos she took during her visits. And we could tell that our fur babies were well taken care of when we came back home. Definitely our first choice for kitty care!”
“Julie is BY FAR our favorite sitter for our cat! She is incredible. She spends time with her and really makes us feel like she's taken care of when we aren't home. She's the only person we really trust! Our cat LOVES her too! And she doesn't love just anyone :)”

Definitely recommend, especially in terms of ease she was very easy to get ahold of and sent enough messages to make me feel comfortable :)”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs most of my life. My neighbors had 2 cats I used to watch and I would play with them, make sure their food and water is filled and empty the litterboxes. I'm currently working remotely and have the flexibility to fit varying needs upon request. In a workweek, ideally I'd like to limit services to dog walking or a drop in visit. On weekends I have more flexibility as I'm not working and can devote more time and attention to your pets so we're happy. I love being active and outside and my preferred form of service would be dog walking but also enjoy being inside with a pet too. I live in a condo, there is a lot of space to pet sit and I would like to know what your needs are before any boarding or sitting. I know an unfamiliar space can make some pets nervous, if house sitting or a drop in visit is preferred, I can also do that to make sure the pets are comfortable. During the work day, I would be able to take breaks every 2-4 hours to make sure attention is given the dog/cat and while working I'd keep an eye on them to make sure they're doing well. Every hour I like to take a short couple minute break and during this time, I'll play with your pet.
“Angela was AMAZING taking care of my 9 week old pup! We needed her to make two drop in visits while we were away for the day and she went above and beyond for our puppy. She spent extra time each visit, had no issues going to the hotel front desk to get a key for the room, and followed our special requests as our pup isn't fully vaccinated yet. She seems to really care for the animals she watches and our pup didnt even cry when she put her in her crate for nap time. We are so thankful, especially this being our first time using Rover, and definitely recommend Angela to other puppy and dog parents!”
