Ryan did a fantastic job with my "needy" crew. This was the first time using Rover and having a house sitter and Ryan did everything to make me feel comfortable and really enjoy my time away. He stayed in great communication, even during the storms we had while I was away. He took great care of my pups and the house. Will look forward to using Ryan again!

Absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog was smitten with her from the start. She gave us frequent updates and took wonderful care of details better than we do ourselves (ha!). There’s nothing better than having peace of mind that while we are on vacation, our boy was having adventures of his own and feeling loved back home. I couldn’t recommend her more.

About: As an adult, I have adopted only cats, but I do love and enjoy dogs as well. NOTE: To save time etc, please read ALL my details carefully BEFORE sending a booking request. Thank you in advance 👍 in bearing with any repetition, but it spares extra effort for both you and me. 🥰 When I was very little, we had a mixed breed dog named Spot (original, no?), and later on, a lovely and sweet golden retriever, Bonnie. We also took in a stray black cat and named him Samson. As an adult, I have been pet parent to seven cats and have adored them all, each of them with a different personality, some of the cutest and most loving cats ever. My BFF companions! All animals, wild and domesticated, are innocent and precious creatures and deserve our best. --------------------------------------- INFO FOR FIRST-TIME CLIENTS: Before going on further, I respectfully ask that any prospective new clients understand that, in everyone's best interests, including your precious furbabies, I am NOT able to confirm new client booking requests EXCEPT under specific conditions: (1) not with less than 48 hours' notice ahead of when you need me, and (2) not without a "meet and greet" visit FIRST, so that I can get to know you and your pet/pets, beforehand; understand your/their needs and my duties, and we can come to a mutual decision whether or not I would be a good fit for you and your pet/pets. A final caveat but emphatic: I regret but I do not offer services for clients' pets in my own home. Although this info is given elsewhere on my account , I still repeat it here because it can be easy to miss when navigating the app. ------------------------------------- WITH REPEAT CLIENTS: Thankfully, these basic initials are of course already met and therefore I can usually be more readily available, just depending on my/your particulars at any time a booking request is made. ------------------------------------- FOR ALL CLIENTS Please be aware as well that in instances where longer time commitments or special duties beyond what are described in my profile are needed, I might need to work with you-- of course PRIOR to my comfirmation of your booking request--about adjusting payrates through the Rover app. I try to be reasonable as humanly possible and accommodating. ----------------------------------- SO: I don't want to be offensive but for the best for everyone, esp those sweet animals, my experience thus far as a caregiver on Rover has taught me how vital it is to establish these basic essentials , up front. --------------------------------------- A BIT MORE BACKGROUND As an adult, for many years now, I have defaulted to adopting cats only, because of time away from home during the day and occasionally needing to be away from home entirely for a more extended period of time. However, as a caregiver, I can look after both dogs and cats and can usually make adjustments in my schedule to accommodate the needs of clients and their pets. --------------------------------------- TO CONCLUDE I have a special place in my heart for ALL pets, most of whom want little more beyond the basics (food, water, play, veterinary care)---than simply to give snd receive love, especially my precious Orangesicle, an orange tabby, aka "ginger" cat. I would love to serve you and make a difference in your life... while at the same time, making a big difference in own life, as I am somewhat isolated right now and would love to get out and enjoy a change of scenery in somebody else's domicile and their beloved pets. Please contact the references whose emails I indicated, as they can also testify how much I love animals and my cats and how much I love people as well. My schedule is typically flexible, depending on what might be my existing scheduie over the duration of a booking request. Pls read further: In any given instance, I might have options open to me to work with you accommodate your special needs. As I mentioned already, but to underscore: In some cases, such as where longer commitments or special duties are necessary, I may need to work with you about increased payrates. I take care of my cat every day and scoop out his litter box twice a day and feed him twice a day plus give him treats as he deserves them and really as he wants them , as long as it's not too much for his good health. I take a lot of time to hold him and love on him and play with him . He loves boxes and mice and feather toys on a rod. He is my pride and joy and my best bud and he follows me everywhere and greets me at the door ...and we sleep together, and he sleeps next to my pillow and sometimes on my pillow and puts his head next to my head and his body next to mine. We are intimate friends and I will take care of him and his needs and his health needs including surgeries, for as long as he can live , without undue suffering. My first cat was Simon. Later followed Garfunkel (not "Garfield"), Chopin, Edna, Van Gogh, and Picasso. I do not care for pets in my home but I'm happy to care for yours, in your home (even besides a dog or cat), with all the foregoing qualifiers in mind, from the very beginning , when I first respond to a booking request. Pls read further: SPECIAL NOTE: For the time being I am not available for walks that are longer than a couple of blocks. I prefer less heavy dogs. Fenced-in areas are a huge plus. Thank you so much and I look forward to any and all clients who are interested in my services.

Molly was fantastic! Molly’s calm disposition and positive attitude put our crew in a happy state while we were away. She did great with them as they can get kinda rowdy! Molly was great at communicating with us and keeping us updated while we were away. And we felt confident all was well at home. We have already booked another stay with her and plan to use her whenever she is available.

Deby was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, so it took a bit to get used to at first, but it was so wonderful. My partner and I usually ask our friends to watch our two kitties, but no one was available. I saw that Debt had a ton of repeat clients and great reviews and I see why! She sent videos of them every time she came over and put my mind at ease even though I desperately missed my boys. Highly recommend booking her if you want someone who is wonderful with communication and loves all animals she watches!

Kai was an awesome cat sitter for our cat Queso (the snowshoe Siamese in Kai's pictures)! Kai kept us posted every day with pictures that everything was still going well. I can tell Kai became Queso's buddy over the course of our time away. He also kept our apartment in great condition and fed the fish in my small aquarium during his stay. I hope Kai will be available next time we need a cat sitter! I would recommend Kai 100%!
