Pets are marvelous!! I love them

Pet care experience

I left my two dogs in my home country, and I miss them so much. The happiness that a pet can bring into our lives is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, my previous place in Vancouver didn't allow pets, so I decided to become a pet sitter in 2019. This choice allowed me to enjoy my free time with wonderful companions—my new furry friends. Now, we live in a house with a fenced yard, surrounded by nature and near the beach. The best part is that there is no pet policy here, which is why we welcomed Kiki, a Yorkshire Terrier, into our family. We love and care for her deeply. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which is fantastic! I can spend quality time with the pets. They bring so much joy and energy into my life. I genuinely love animals—my personality is energetic, friendly, and caring. There is no happiness without them. Playing, walking, and simply petting them fills me with good energy. Pets deserve our love and care; they are innocent creatures. My teenager and I have taken care of dogs for friends and family for a while now. We enjoy walking dogs and boarding them at home. I'm just a five-minute walk from the beach, and there is a dog park, as well as parks and trails nearby. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your precious companion. They would be more than welcome in our lives!

This was my first time ever having someone watch my cat and I am so so so happy it was Minerva. She was absolutely wonderful 💕

Minerva was great! It was my first time using the check-in option on Rover so I was nervous about leaving the pets overnight. Minerva was friendly and conscientious during our meet and greet which helped put my mind at ease. She followed up her visits with photos of our fur babies and left feedback. Thanks, Minerva!
