Pet care experience

Have owned several pets, medium and large dogs, cat, Guinea pig and fish. I watch my daughter's dogs on a regular basis. One daughter has two large dogs under the age of four and the other daughter has an elderly medium size dog with medical needs so I'm comfortable with a diverse range of dog care. Experience with house and pet sitting.

Amy was absolutely a perfect fit for us and our dog! He was loved and spoiled just like his parents would do❤️ Daily updates and pictures. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will absolutely use her again

Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.

This was our first pet sitting experience with Amy - she house sat our two pups for 8 days and did an amazing job. Detailed breakdown below: - Communication: We've booked multiple sitters through Rover during various family trips and have a good amount of experience being able to compare several pet sitters. When Amy came to the meet & greet she asked so many detailed questions and took copious notes to ensure she had everything covered. She had a very caring demeanor and our pups liked her right away. Prior to the scheduled pet sitting, we had multiple exchanges over messaging and she was always extremely prompt to respond & provided super thorough responses/details. She was great at communicating during our trip and kept us in the loop on everything going on. She also provided fantastic detailed wrap-up notes to let us know about anything she had observed and things for us to be aware of. We definitely appreciated her communication style as some pet sitters have not always been the most reliable when providing updates or responding to our questions. -During the Stay: We had an incident that occurred with one of our dogs during the booking where our pup ingested something toxic, started throwing up continuously along with shaking. Amy was extremely proactive in reaching out to our main vet multiple times, giving us a full breakdown of the situation with constant updates, reaching out to a second vet on our list for a second opinion, and then taking our dog to animal emergency hospital for treatment & overnight stay. During all this time she constantly kept communication going with us and the emergency clinic. It was a very stressful situation for us as we were out of the country & far away from our where we felt helpless while this was happening. However, Amy did everything in her power to make us feel so much more at ease with how diligently she handled the situation while providing constant monitoring, compassionate care, & attention to our dog during the situation as well as for the remainder of her house sitting that week. Besides, taking care of our pups, Amy also offered and took care of a few things for us including watering our plants, brining in packages, and also proactively doing a load of laundry to wash our towels. She also offered to wash the bedding on the guest bed but we let her know that we appreciated it and didn't want her to do additional extra work. Overall, this was one of the best experiences we have had with a pet sitter. We would definitely book Amy for pet sitting in the future and would highly recommend her! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups! We are grateful for all of your hard work, loving care, take-charge approach in handling an emergency situation, great transparent communication, and true attention to detail! We look forward to working with Amy again in the future. :)

Amy was great with my pets. They were happy to have the company and were well taken care of. She went over and above, even making the bed to help me out.
