Monica was amazing! She loved on my sweet fur babe while I left town for the day! She left amazing detailed notes after each visit and sent so many pictures! I felt so comfortable with having her come and take care of my babe for the day!

Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

Cory is the most pet friendly human I’ve ever met! From having his own pets that he loves unconditionally, to meeting my dog and immediately bonding with her, Cory would make an excellent pet sitter. I trust Cory with my own dog, that I consider my child, so I know he is a trustworthy person for the job!

Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!

Molly did an amazing job looking after my 2 cats. She went above and beyond dealing with my difficult diabetic kitty. I can't thank her enough for all the tricks and tactics she did to get my cat a shot when he was being resistant.

I absolutely recommend Nichelle to work with dogs of any sort. I know Nichelle to be loving and doting and VERY protective of animals particularly with dogs. I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets. Please consider her as a candidate for a position with your company, she will bring warm and love to any pet in her care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (845 ) 649-9854 Sincerely, Kelly Cahill

About: I have been blessed by kitties since I was 8 years old, having lived with eight so far over my life and said goodbye to five. I have had three puppy dogs, a shorkie raised from a puppy, a shy and previously abused pibble, and our senior German Shepherd/Siberian Husky baby. I have been able to be there for fur children when they crossed the rainbow bridge, both my babies and babies that I found injured in the road who deserved a better fate. I have experience administering oral medication to dogs and cats and brushing and trimming the nails of willing cats. I have senior dog experience including lifting medium size dogs into vehicles and onto beds, patience with their toileting and occasional accidents, and finding innovative ways to convince them to take their medication. I have potty trained and socialized a puppy as well. I work from home and am taking some time to reevaluate my business and next career so I am generally available during the day on weekdays. I am presently not available before 9:00 am as I have a standing appointment in the mornings. I am periodically available in the evenings and weekends. Please check my schedule for availability. I care for pets in others' homes in a manner that ensures that their pets are safe first and foremost, which includes locating all animals during my visit (even those kitties that like to hide), ensuring that nothing has been disrupted that could cause harm, and making sure they have access to fresh water, toilet, and food. I follow instructions from the client and ask for clarification if needed. I do my best to leave their home in the same state it was in when they left it. I am presently not caring for others' pets in my home as my cats seem to prefer to keep our household at our current number of members.
