“Autumn is absolutely wonderfu! She took great care of my cat and helped me out with a few other things. She puts her time in and shows your pet love.

About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too. I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓
14. Nancy G.
“We had no worries at all with Nancy watching our 3 cats and chameleon, as well as our 32 gallon saltwater bio cube and 90 gallon fish tanks. We had some very specific instructions and everything was followed to a T. She also brought in our mail and trash bins so everything was truly taken care of when we got home. My shyest cat who almost never comes out was very fond of her and we received awesome photos as well. Please book Nancy for a carefree experience!”

About: Pets have been part of my life since I was born and I couldn’t imagine my life without one. We’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, birds, fish and even turtles. I’ve adopted all of my dogs, some with health problems. I also adopted a 9 year old senior that was with me for 7 years. I had a dog with diabetes and Cushing's disease which involved shots at meal times, many pills and a special diet. So I don’t shy away from dogs with medical issues or who are up in age. I have found great people for my fur babies through Rover and look forward to caring for yours so you have peace of mind. I do not work outside of the home so I am very flexible with my schedule. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat so after I have finished their morning routine, I start with clients. I never take a dog out of the front door unless they are on a leash prior to the door opening. If you have a fenced yard, I check to make sure any gates are locked and the yard is clear of any obstacles or wildlife before letting them out.
20. Barbara P.
“Beth (Barbara) was fantastic - I don't know if I could have found anyone better. I knew from the moment we met that she would be great with my boys. She even crawled on the floor to take pictures of them sleeping under the bed! Thanks, Beth! I will certainly be asking you back!”
