Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Lynn. I am an animal lover and have been a dog owner my entire life. I have 6 years of experience in the pet care field. Some of my responsibilities include feeding, walking, administering medications for dogs. I also have experience managing play groups. I had a blind and diabetic dog and have administered insulin to him on a regular basis as well as helped him to get around. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your four-legged family member.
Reviews
Lynn was really great at taking care of our cats when we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her.
She did a great job. Came by every day at the same time. Fed and played with the cat and made sure his litter box was clean.
I've been using Rover for many years, and this is the first negative experience I've had. My husband and I met with Lynn a week before our booking since she'd be staying at our home to watch our dog. She seemed a little shy and awkward but Cody seemed to take to her so we kept our booking. We explicitly told her that Cody shouldn't be left home by himself during her stay but when our friend came to pick up Cody since he'd be spending Christmas Eve and day with her, she found him home alone. She texted Lynn and was told that she'd left 3-4 hours earlier, and this was with no prior notice to us. Then at the end of Cody's stay with Lynn, we'd coordinated with her to drop him off at another Rover sitter's place. After she dropped him off, we were contacted by the second sitter because Lynn told him that Cody had injured his back falling off of something, and he wanted to know if he should take him to a vet. I was so alarmed since Lynn hadn't mentioned anything about this when she confirmed she'd dropped him off. I called her and asked her directly why she didn't inform us of this issue before she'd dropped Cody off, and she literally was SILENT. No response on her end, nothing to explain her behavior! When we arrived home, we found some dirt on our couch and on the floor around it. It turns out she'd broken one of my planters, and I found the broken pieces in my garbage can! Again, Lynn hadn't mentioned this to me during our numerous texts while I was away. It really would not have been a big deal that she broke the planter but it's the fact that she tried to hide the evidence and made no mention of it. Then I walked into my office and found my curtain rod pulled from the wall, and all of my hanging planters on the ground! I cannot understand how she wouldn't have mentioned any of this. This has made me seriously reconsider using Rover again based on how bad this experience was with Lynn.
Lynn was quick to respond while housesitting Marley and Homer for us. She also sent us a couple cute photos of the dogs that we enjoyed. We appreciate her help.
