Reviews
We’ve had Dana watch our place twice. Both times, she has taken great care of our pets. Thanks!
Great job taking care of our animals!
Dana was friendly and responsive, and the initial meet-and-greet went smoothly. However, our booking was for a full 2–8 hour daily block of house-sitting care, and she only stayed about one hour on June 7 and literally one minute on June 8 before leaving. Despite confirming in person that she would be onsite roughly 2 PM–10 PM, she treated it as a single drop-in visit each day and did not log any updates in the Rover Card. As a result, I had to scramble from Peru to arrange emergency coverage. Pros: Communicative and polite Did return the key reliably Cons: Did not deliver the agreed daily hours Misaligned expectations around “Extended Care” versus a one-hour visit Minimal interaction with my cat during her brief stops Honestly I would just avoid her. I was deceived by her other positive ratings and didn't do enough due diligence and it caused a nightmare for me while abroad.
Dana was super attentive to my senior kitties medical needs. Thanks again, Dana!

It would be useful to know if your dog or cat has any special accommodations. (Especially if they have any medical conditions). Please let me know about any reactivity also.

Depending on the service you booked I will try my best to follow the instructions you’ve provided. For example if during the walk you do not want any interactions with other people or animals I will follow that to the best of my abilities.

Availability
I currently only book stays or walks that are at most 1 month in advance. If you would like to book farther out just send a message and give me a heads up but I can’t confirm the booking until we are closer to the dates as I can’t guarantee my availability. I am currently taking a year off from school before I start vet school and I do rover part time to gain extra experience working with animals for my future career.
