A Paw-sitively Purrfect Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Magdalene, I am a college student looking for a fun job to earn extra cash while I'm in school. I have been doing personal pet sitting since 2013, and have cared for all ranges of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, turtles, song birds, parrots, rodents, chickens, ducks, and horses. I understand that a client's pet is more than just a companion - they're a family member - which is why I am always attentive to a pet's needs and on top of my game to entertain, care for, and snuggle the pets I am responsible for (extra pats are always a must in my book). If you're looking for a person with an outgoing, playful personality along with a purr-fessional cattitude, then I'm the right match for you and your pets.
Reviews
How Magdalene is still allowed to be on Rover is beyond me. I should have noticed the red flag when she rescheduled our meet & greet after it was supposed to start. Nonetheless, she showed up later that day and we went over my requirements for house sitting. The next day when the house sitting was to start, I left the house at 6pm and asked her when she would be by, and she told me within an hour. Two hours later, I hadn't heard from her at all. A third hour went by and I called and got her voicemail and asked if she had made it in my house okay. She texted me back saying she had got in my house, which I knew she hadn't (during our meet & greet I pointed out my security camera, which showed me nobody had been by). I texted her again to clarify that she made it in, and she again said she had. Then, when I gave her a THIRD chance to come clean, and I told her to be honest with me (since I knew she had not been by), she sent me a lonnnnggg message about how she had been by and left her stuff there and did not feel comfortable with ME because I did not trust her. Of course I didn't trust her, she just lied to me 3 times! I contacted Rover support who cancelled the booking, then I had to drive over an hour to get back home at 11pm to take care of my dog. Upon arrival, I found no evidence that anyone had been in or around my home; Magdalene just decided to continually lie to me even after I called her out. Can't be trusted.
Pros: Maggie was a very nice and agreeable person. She had great reviews. She also said she enjoyed being with both of my pets and she was also able to extend the sitting job last minute because I got stuck out of state due to car trouble, she also has a great rate. She assured me that everything was ok and all was well. Cons: Most of the time she took forever to respond to me or give me updates, I asked for them twice a day but that seldom happened. I gave lengthy instructions and I'm not sure if it was just too much for her because when I arrived home my apartment smelled HORRIBLE cat litter or something was deposited into the inside trash instead of the dumpster like I asked. My bedroom smells like my dog peed on the carpet a lot, and there was dried puke on the carpet from my dog, who tends to only puke when she hasn't eaten in a while. She said she would be there for the majority of the time, however, with the slow responses and pee smelling, puke stained carpet, I'm not so sure. I don't have the nicest, most spacious apartment in the world, so I understand if she didn't want to stay but it makes me sad to think my dog didn't get to go to the bathroom when she needed to. At the end of the day, both animals are ok which is all that matters.
She does a great job everytime!!
We were very happy with our sitter. Our house was clean and our dogs were happy. She took them on walks and even sent us a photo a day. It was great to have someone dependable to rely on during a last minute out of town trip. Thanks Magdalene!
