“Olha took care of our cats for a week, she sent us pictures of the cats at each visit with a description of how they were doing. I highly recommend Olha.”
“I found Christopher on Rover at the last minute to help with 3 visits. One of our dogs is a rescue that we’ve had less than a week; he’s being crated and I was unable to get away from work. Christopher came to my house after I messaged him and met everyone. He was kind and competent and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. He did a great job—he was on time for his visits, and sent me pictures and messages. It was such a relief to me to know that my dogs were well-cared for. I will use him again for sure!!!”
“Paul was really good! He taked with care our cat, we definitely recommend him and we would like that him take care of Salem again. Thanks a lot!!”
“Meena was great with my two cats! Very communicative and ensured the visits went smoothly.”
“Jesse did a great job caring for my two cats. She was very communicative and sent photos of them throughout the week. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. She is the best!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. I was born into a family of dog and cats lovers, and I can’t remember a time when some furry friend wasn’t a part of my life. I’m currently working part time, so I would be able to handle pet care across a broad range of times. It wouldn’t be too much of an obstacle. Well you have to make sure they’re fed, and have access to water. For dogs they need regular exercise and depending on the breed regular baths. Cats need attention and a clean litter box.
“Valerie was so great at taking care of our Moose while we were out of town for a wedding. She sent very detailed check-in reports and photos every day. She was also super responsive to chat messages. We are so grateful for her effort in making Moose feel safe and cared for while we were away!”
