Responsible and Caring

Pet care experience

Love of animals is a family affair--I grew up with cats and dogs and have never been without a pet as an adult. I've had dogs and cats, sometimes at the same time, and even Guinea pigs (my daughter's). They've always been well-cared for and treated, rightfully so, as members of our household. All animals have unique personalities and I believe in interacting with them in ways that help them feel most at ease. I've mostly had large dogs (and some pretty big cats, too!) so can handle them readily but have cared for small dogs, as well. I've also had experience in giving insulin shots to cats-my brother had two with diabetes and I cared for them when he had a stroke. Here's what I would most want to know if I were going to enlist someone to care for my pets, and it applies to me: I love animals and believe they should be kept safe, well-cared for in regard to food, water, exercise and a clean environment, and given lots of whatever attention they most crave. They deserve no less.

I can’t say enough good things about Aunt Cindy! Leaving our cats is never easy, and this was the first time we had left some of them with a sitter, so I was definitely anxious. From day one, her detailed Rover cards, consistent updates, and tons of photos helped put my mind at ease. I genuinely looked forward to every update and felt so much better knowing exactly how everyone was doing. Our cats are very shy and don’t get much exposure to people outside of our household, so I fully expected some of them to spend the entire time hiding. To my surprise, she managed to get even our shyest cats to come out, play, and engage with her. That alone speaks volumes about her patience and understanding of animals. She also administered medication to our cat Penelope without any issues and clearly paid attention to each cat’s individual personality and needs. What stood out most to me was how obvious her love for animals is. She genuinely cares, and as a pet parent, that means everything. It made my heart so happy knowing our cats were being cared for by someone who loves animals as much as we do. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and complete peace of mind. I would book with her again in a heartbeat and honestly wouldn’t hesitate to pay whatever rate she asked. She is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Our first time using Rover couldn’t have been better! The pictures and communication made me feel at ease. The little touches, like bringing in packages, really went above and beyond. So so happy to have found Cindy!
