Animal Lover and mama to 4 cats

Pet care experience

I may only have been official for a short while, but I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have 4 cats of my own, and unfortunately do not have a dog of my own at this point. I believe an apartment to be too small for dogs long term. I work with children as a full time job so I have patience and an understanding of communication even with no words.

Richelle was amazing! Made our night away from our pets super easy and stress-free. Would 100% recommend and use again. Thanks Richelle :)

As much as I hate to leave bad reviews, I feel that our trust was badly broken during the holiday pet sitting we received from Richelle. We had flown to the other side of the country believing our cat and home were in good hands, only to have Richelle bring a stranger into our home with no note or warning. We only knew because we have pet cameras so we can check in on our cat, Richelle made no mention of it, even when she knew that we had cameras in our home. I reached out to her asking for an explanation, and she stated it was her fiancee who drove her due to a migraine, but to me it doesn't matter who he is or why she brought him...he should not have been there at all without any communication. Rover only works if you can trust the people who have access to your home, and Richelle unfortunately broke that trust only 2 days into a multi-day stay. On top of the breaking of trust, Richelle does not fill in the rover cards outside of a few pictures, and just leaves all the mess our cat makes from eating and using the litter box on the floor even though we left out brooms. All past cat sitters we've had have at the very least swept food off the floor and even washed cat dishes. Richelle just sat on our couch. For these reasons, though she is a lovely person, I would not recommend Richelle.

Our previous cat sitter has moved away and we are very grateful to have found a great replacement in Richelle. Our cat can be slightly spicy with strangers, so it was a relief to have someone who is knowledgeable and understanding with cats taking care of her. Prompt, professional and respectful of our home, we're very happy to book Richelle again soon!

I only offer care in my home for smaller animals, as I do have an apartment. This being said if I care for your animal at my home there will be lots of walks and outdoor time on a leash. I personally believe that animals do best in their own home while the owners are away. I find if makes the animals more comfortable as they can stick as close to their routine as possible and its their space, but I also understand that not everyone is comfortable with letting someone new into their home.
