Sean did a great job of looking after Grimm while we were away. Came home to a happy kitty, full water and food bowls and an empty litter box.

I was away for the holidays and Ramiya swooped in to care for my cat. She did a great job at feeding her and scooping litter. However, upon returning, there were crumbs of cat food, litter, and dirt, possibly from shoes, all over the floor (I live in a studio). I did once witness her sweep so not sure how this was missed. There were crumbs on the counter and a cardboard paper from the fancy feast box left on top of the stove. A fire hazard. While I was away I saw that Ramiya started her visit a few minutes before entering my apartment (I have a camera). I hate to be a stickler, but I prefer for each minute to be accounted for. I do appreciate her for holding onto my key until the next morning and being flexible about the time. I think she could use some more experience with cats as my cat doesn’t like to be pet a certain way and will bite if she’s uncomfortable. Despite meeting with Bubbles prior, I witnessed this on two occasions. They didn’t seem to bond too well. She spent more time on her phone than interacting with Bubbles.

About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.

This was our first time using Rover. Rose put us right at ease. She was so caring, attentive, and helpful! We were so comforted knowing Orange Julius was in excellent hands. Her daily reports were everything we could ask for to help us spend quality time away but never worry about our kitty. She is amazing and we will definitely book again soon!

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life. I had a beautiful dog Dior that means the world to me. I love being around dogs and the joy and company they give. I work as a teacher during the day and I’m usually home any other time. I love coming home to my dog and spending time with her at home or at the park. I have a small backyard. I have a 2 year old female dog that’s fix. She is very friendly and love playing with other dogs. I also have a crate if your dog is crate trained.

Majority of my career experience is in customer service but I am more than ready to service your furry pals throughout the day. I have decades of experience with dogs, my first fur baby Brownie passed away last October from old age, she was with my family for 16 years.

I will care for and love your pet as my own as well as provide excellent customer service along the way. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

With notice, I am also available on weekends I have a fenced back yard and a friendly dog who will be happy to keep your pet company in my care. Also willing to crate if necessary.

Katherine was so wonderful and patient with my older kitty who acted a bit out of character woth me gone. Katherine was loving and comforting to her and reassuring to me throughout it all. I was worried I was going to come back to a very anxious kitty, but she's pretty calm thanks to Katherine's time and attention. Highly recommend her for your older kitties that need a little extra love and patience!
