Information Leslie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any schedules in place, current medications, any allergies and favorite treats or meal preparation! I know change can feel strange for the smaller friends so any specifics that can make them feel comfortable is welcomed :)

A typical day

There’s great sidewalks near my place so going for 30 min to an hour walks is very accessible. I love taking pets to new places so they can get their sniffing fix for the day.

Leslie is punctual, reliable, and communicative. We can always count on her to take great care of Pumpkin when we are out of town.

Great communication, great pictures, and great care for Pumpkin. We could travel with peace of mind knowing Leslie was taking care of Pumpkin for us.

Leslie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats, and it was clear they felt safe and comfortable with her, which meant so much to me. She followed my instructions well, and by the second day, she had everything down perfectly. Although I initially forgot to explain my apartment’s trash situation, Leslie took the initiative to figure it out on her own, which I really appreciated. She even went the extra mile by cleaning up when she didn’t need to—such a thoughtful touch! We had a quick conversation about her visit times, and she was very understanding and flexible, making adjustments to come earlier than she initially had been. Overall, Leslie was caring, reliable, and went above and beyond for my pets. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares.

Leslie was incredibly nice and flexible with me. And I could tell she really cared about taking care of my cats even during our initial call. Will definitely be hiring again!!

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.
