Rich was a great pet sitter—my cats warmed up to him quick, he was communicative while I was away, and I didn’t come home to any surprises.

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.

Every pet has its own personality, habits, likes, and dislikes. I’d be happy to discuss with you about your pet, especially to identify any potential problems or stressors. A happy pet equals a happy life for everyone involved!
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.
