Information althea g. would like to know about your pet

anything to do with medication and their health of course . we both want your pet to be taken care of properly and to be healthy while your out so it’s best to know what’s best for them ! anything specific your dog does or does not like is handy too ! their feeding schedule, and how they interact with children and other pets .

A typical day

i love to get out everyday and go to the park naturally with and without pets so it’s never be a problem to stimulate some of that energy ! i have plenty of toys as well and i also have friends who sit pets too. we always find cool parks and cool things to do with the pets we take care of .

Pet care experience

Hi there! 🐾 I’m so excited to welcome your furry friend into my home! As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my sweet pup, Minx, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Minx is incredibly friendly and always happy to make new doggy friends, so your pet will feel right at home. I’ve been dog sitting on Rover since 2021, and in that time I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks or laid-back cats who just want cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. What sets me apart is the care and effort I put into every booking—I treat your pets like my own. I provide updates, photos, and plenty of love so you can feel confident while you’re away. With a fenced yard and nearby parks perfect for walks, your pet will get plenty of safe playtime and exercise. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱 My home features a secure fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor play, and I’m located near several beautiful parks that are ideal for daily walks, sniffing adventures, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a quiet corner to relax, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like one of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I’m here to give you peace of mind every step of the way. I’d love to meet your pup and become a trusted part of their routine!

Thank you for another wonderful experience. Nico loves you and means so much to my family. When I ask for updates you make it simple and your patience with me in booking was phenomenal. Your feedback on Nico was helpful as well. We look forward to working with you again very soon. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.

Althea was awesome! She stayed in communication about my cat Zeena. She sent me pictures and created a safe space for her as well. I appreciate her!

Althea was a terrible Rover. She arrived late and left almost an hour before the end of the housesitting reservation, leaving our 14 wk old puppy alone without supervision. Our puppy moved his playpen, made a complete mess of the living room, and got access to a bunch of stuff that could have seriously harmed him. It became apparent almost instantly that Althea had no real experience with dog sitting (e.g., lunch came and went with no inquiry into his feeding) and was an overall bad Rover (e.g., she took zero pictures of my dog with no updates although requested in the reservation), yet inexplicably, she was listed as a Star Sitter. That is a complete joke. Even worse, she took no accountability for her actions, insisting that she is "almost always gone before the owner is back home and everything is usually fine". Beware. I only hired Althea because our usual dog/house sitter was unavailable, but after this experience I am hesitant to trust Rover for dog/house sitting again.

There were feces & a strong odor inside my cat's carrier when I picked him up. This raises serious concerns about the condition of her home & if she caged him for an extended period of time. My cat seemed low when I picked him up as well. Althea did however provide updates & was friendly in communication
