Pet care experience

Pet lover, friend and enthusiast!

I've always been a pet lover and once I became a nanny I had the opportunity to not only care for the children but the pets as well. I then started pet/house sitting. I have experience in administering medicine. I walk, bath, love and play with the pets I care for. I am a single mother and my daughter is with me all the time. We would love to take care of your fur babies who are good around children.

Rover was recommended to me by a few colleagues of mine and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Sylvia was AMAZING!! If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. She did a phenomenal job caring for my fur baby. I was on vacation for 9 days had never been away from my dog for more than a few days. Sylvia eased my worries. She sent me updates and a photo each morning. I am certainly hoping to utilize Sylvia's services in the future and I would highly recommend her to others.

She s stayed with my six month old puppy and five year old cat. House is in great shape and both fur babies were happy and healthy when I got home. The photos were a nice touch and she kept me posted. Highly recommend.

It's important to know if some dogs have triggers, anxiety issues, health issues, disabilities etc. I've taken care of dogs that were rescues and they suffered and was nervous about certain things.
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.
