Peaceful, Reliable Animal Lover

Animals love me and I really love them. Walking is one of my favorite things to do and walking with friends sometimes is also nice. Sometimes I like to walk around all day long and just enjoy being outdoors. I've had pets for most of my life. We always develop a strong bond and they for live a long time. We meditate and play together. Magic, a very special cat that I lived with for 18 years might just have been able to challenge your dog to a fetching competition. One time we were playing fetch and I accidentally threw the paper ball behind a shelf. I thought we were finished with that game, but he kept on looking. About a half hour later he brought it back, a half hour later!

Bret was a pleasure to have house sit and watch our cat, Boots! He was easy to communicate with and took great care of Boots.

It was a delight to let Bret take care of Adele. He kept me updated of Adele's wonderful time with him and she was happy and relax. I can tell. Definitely will ask him again to work with me and Adele.

Bret was so wonderful with my cat Phoebe! When we got home she seemed the happiest we have seen after having a pet sitter stay with her. Bret sent photos and updates and I will absolutely book with him again!

This is the second time we have used Bret for in house overnight sitting and walking during the day for a week away. He has been amazing and we will continue to use him! Very responsive, responsible, and trustworthy.

Bret was wonderful! Such a gentle soul, easy to communicate with, and so loving to our pup. I would highly recommend him! We were first time Rover users, and I feel like we lucked out.

Bret was a gem. He was extremely considerate and mindful and left my apartment cleaner than I left it! And he sent lots of artistic photos of my kitty :)
