Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by and cared for pets nearly my entire life. I have three cats at home and have been trusted to care for my family’s and friends’ dogs, handling feeding, grooming, bathing, and walks. Additionally, I volunteer at Adopt a Pet Fenton and have my pet first aid and CPR certification from American Red Cross. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—so much so that I am going into animal science and pre-vet route as a prospective student at MSU.

Rafael was fantastic! He showed up when he said he would, sent pictures and updates, and took care of the animals while I was gone. I would definitely recommend and use his services again!!

Rafael was loved by our kitty. He provided photos of kitty each day with a detailed report. He cared for my home. Home was in good order upon my return. Thank you much.

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.
