Pet care experience

As a lifelong pet owner, I know how important it is to find reliable and trustworthy pet care. I have lots of experience taking care of family and friends’ pets, as well as volunteering at animal shelters and participating in animal rescue efforts after disasters. You can rely on me to treat your pets as well if not better than my own.

Rich was great. He provided regular updates and I'm pretty sure my dog didn't even realize I was gone! He seemed perfectly content.

Rich was amazing! He and his wife are such kind people who treated my little brood like family. He took great care of my pets and was great at updating me daily. I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

Rich was a lifesaver. I had a last minute trip that I had to go on and he was quick to respond, very professional and kind, and my puppy loved him. I highly recommend him for all your pet care needs!

Rich not only covers the essentials but also gives the compassionate interaction that a pet craves when his people are absent. Even my shy cat warmed up quickly to Rich’s calm, gentle, and patient approach. I felt complete confidence leaving Buddy in his care.

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.
