Safety, trust & environment

I am very aware that every dog and cat have their own unique personality and will ensure that proper communication is put in place so that your furry friends wants and needs are attended to during the visit and walk.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the cats/dogs personality before hand so I can make sure to accommodate any needs they may have so I can give them the best care possible.

A typical day

A typical drop-in will be me checking in on your dog or cat and making sure their food or water/litter is taken care of. I try to spend as much time playing with them as possible so they can get their exercise and enrichment needs met.

Rachel was an outstanding find on Rover and a wonderful match for my two senior cats while I was away. She was consistent with her schedule with two check ins daily and provided excellent notes with plenty of photos. I felt very comfortable booking Rachel after meeting her as she asked very thoughtful questions about the routine for my girls and had experience with senior cats. I could tell in her daily updates that she really cared about what my girls were experiencing. They even started looking forward to her visits and started to greet her at the entrance. Thank you Rachel for caring so much and understanding an owner's relationship with their pets.

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.
