Pet care experience

My kids call me the dog whisperer!

I’ve been lucky enough to say that I’ve had 20+ years looking after dogs. I have no grandkids yet, but plenty of grandpups that I watch over quite often. My kids wouldn’t leave them with anyone else, they’re truly a blessing.

Althea is an animal loving, caring human and a blessing to our family. She rescued my cat from being trapped in a room and made sure she was fed and ok! My dog loves her. Love all the extra attention she give our animals ❤️❤️

Althea is a great pet sitter! She always leaves the house clean and goes above and beyond just taking care of the pets. In addition to making sure the pets immediate needs are taken care of, she also makes sure they get enough attention, play time, and love. She even helped when the cat food delivery didn't come in time and was willing to go buy more at the store and check the mail. She is great at communication and giving updates.

Althea did an excellent job with our puppy. She spent time with him and made homemade treats for him. She sent pics and updates daily. House was neat and orderly and she even made cookies for us! Would definitely use her again and recommend her!

Althea was absolutely fabulous! She kept me updated with pics and videos and our pup just loved her. She looked so content when we came home, it's almost like she didn't miss us! Thank you Althea! Will definitely book again.

Althea was our first experience with Rover and we absolutely loved her and the attention she gave to our pets. My dog fell in love with her and she went above and beyond for him. I will definitely ask her to help again. This was a great experience 💙💙🦮🐈‍⬛
