Pet care experience

Empathy Energy & Endless Belly Rubs

I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from cats, dogs, and birds to cows and farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to truly understand their behavior and emotions. Animals naturally trust me, and I build a calm, safe connection with every pet I meet. I also have experience caring for senior pets and helping shy animals feel comfortable. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving love, your pet will feel at home with me.

Ion did such a wonderful job house sitting my dog Athena while I was put of town for 3 days. He sent updates twice a day, which is what I asked for, and lots of pictures. He took her on 3 walks a day and the house was clean when we got home. Highly recommend!

Ion was very good with our Louie! He was communicative and kept us updated with pictures of their adventures. It’s not uncommon for Louie to stop eating his food. Ion noticed this and made him a doggie pizza to encourage him to eat and it worked! Louie loves to see Ion and is always happy in his company. Louie is an anxious dog but seems happy and content with Ion. He leaves our home clean and just the way we left it. We would recommend his services to anyone!

Ion was prompt and attentive to detail. He stayed with our Lou and made sure he received lots of attention and his walks. He is polite and friendly and left our house clean. We were very happy with the care Ion gave Louie and will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.

Ion was wonderful with Nora. She got loads of attention. She was very well cared for. Ion sent regular pictures and updates, so we had no worries. We would 100 % recommend him and will definitely use him again. Our home was left spotless. A++.

I have known John U. for several years and can attest to his strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and professionalism. He consistently demonstrates care and attention to detail in everything he does. John has a calm and patient manner that makes him well-suited for working with animals, ensuring they feel safe and well-cared for at all times. I am confident that John would provide dependable, compassionate, and high-quality care to any pet entrusted to him. He would be a great addition to the Rover community.

Schedule

Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I always make time for walks and pet visits, both on weekdays and weekends. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I often plan my days around it. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me — it’s a relaxing and rewarding part of my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper meals, playtime, and enough outdoor time if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they need extra energy, gentle patience, or quiet company. If needed I will keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
