Grad student who loves animals

Pet care experience

While my family always have had a dog (or two or four), we always have had a couple of cats, a few goats, and some chickens throughout the years. I have a combined 15 years of pet sitting experiences, from caring for cats and dogs to birds, fish, and horses. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and provide individualized care for each pet tailored to their personality and needs. While I do offer pet boarding, I generally prefer to keep pets in their own home as it helps lessens the stress they already experience at being (temporarily) left behind by their owners. Cats tend to be the least adaptable to boarding, while dogs are generally happy as long as they have a human to shadow.

I had such a truly nice experience with Christine petsitting! I'm very new to Starkville, and it is definitely a little daunting to try to find someone to take care of your home and pets in a new city. I must say that my experience with Rover overall was wonderful: it was very easy to use and the few times I had questions, customer service was thorough and prompt. And, Christine herself was just wonderful! I felt immediately reassured upon talking to her and then meeting her, and I knew that everyone would be in good hands. When we went over the routine, she paid very careful attention, asking me excellent questions that I now have added to the overall written protocol. She quickly grasped what I think is a pretty complicated routine. The entire time petsitting she was in good touch, and I could tell upon our return that she was very diligent, responsible, and detail-oriented. It was clear that the animals all had excellent care, and they also seemed happy/well-adjusted (almost like we hadn't been gone!). We had a truly wonderful experience with Rover and, specifically, with Christine!
