Pet care experience

I’ve always been an animal lover since I was a kid, and have taken care of all sorts of animals for neighbors, friends, and local community members including small/big dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds! My mom and I have been regularly taking care of our friend’s goldendoodle for the past 5 years while they travel, and we’ve also hosted many dogs and cats at our house.

We had a last minute need to board our dog (Bruno) for several hours and Helen came through. She took wonderful care of Bruno and would leave him again with her.

Thanks to Helen for taking wonderful care of Keon while we were gone! Helen did a great job communicating, shared tons of photos of Keon, and it was obvious that Keon was feeling happy and relaxed.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
