Pet care experience

Throughout my time with Rover, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, birds, cats, rats, horses, hedgehogs, rabbits, and geckos. My experience encompasses dogs of all ages, from newborn Golden-doodles to elderly Yorkshire Terriers and breeds such as Cane Corso and Rottweilers.

Ida is terrific! We appreciated her professional communication skills, determination to be sure our expectations were met and her desire to provide our dogs a relaxing few days at our home. We couldn’t be happier and hope to continue our work with Ida shortly!!

My dog is very particular about people and sometimes can get aggressive. He instantly felt at ease with Ida. I knew within seconds that she was the right fit and she did an amazing job taking care of him and our cat.

Ida was wonderful!! My cats are usually tea needy when I get back from being away. With Ida staying at my home giving them lots of attention, I think they barely noticed I was gone. She took great care of my home as well! I would absolutely recommend her for your pet and house sitting needs.

Ida did an awesome job with our two XL dogs, one of which is leery of new people until they get to know someone. She recognized this and let him warm up to her on his terms. Within a couple of days, they were best friends and he acted like to knew her for a long time. She was very confident handling both dogs, gave them loads of attention, and followed through on all of our requests. She went above & beyond keep the house clean and was in communication with us each day. We will definitely use Ida again when we travel, whether it's a day trip or multiple days.
