Information Essence S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have a special needs dog or if your dog needs to take medicine regularly. Also how your dog is around other dogs. I️f they’re not friendly or social around others, I️ would need to know before I️ take them on a walk.

A typical day

I️ live near a bunch of dog parks so letting your puppy or dog expend their energy is pretty convenient. We can also explore our neighborhood which also have many different breeds of dogs walking around. But I am always cautious if your animal doesn’t do well with others.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs ever since we got our first puppy when I️ was in middle school. It was all white pit bull and I️ loved her to pieces. And ever since then, our house has been a loving house full of fur babies!

what a relief to have Essence stay with our aging boy, he's 17 and love her! We will be using Essence again and again. She is a total pro and we never worry for even a moment even when she is there.

My eight month old kitten was abused by the hands of this woman! She was not given the food that she eats, and this woman just kept telling me my cat wouldn’t eat well. The picture she showed me was nothing I give my cat to eat she didn’t give my cat any human interaction. My cat came home screaming in the bedroom for almost 2 hours. She has lost so much weight. She’s really furry, but she is so bony. I don’t know where this woman got her reviews but if you use her, you will will be sorry she dropped my cat off at my door in the cold. I just happened to open the door and she was there and she wants to say to me I can prove from the cameras out your neighbors that you were calling me names so all she deserves a lot more than being called names. I was in Salt Lake City seeing a doctor and she is threatening to take my cat to the pound if I don’t come get her like I can fly a plane she says oh and I reported you to Rover what was there to report on me? I was so worried about my kitten then she told me that she knows where I live so I guess that’s a threat right they won’t take her off over. I have called the police. They are coming to take a report for animal cruelty I don’t know what to do with my cat. She sits on the bed and screams. I had to go out of town. I thought Rover was reliable. They aren’t they’re just like care.com. They say they do background checks and they don’t.

Essence was so good with my old girlies and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be re-requesting her to come back again!
