Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have the ability to care for pets in my personal home at this time, so this is a service I can not provide.

Information Thelma O. would like to know about your pet

Important things to know would include going over your checklist for expected pet care. Feeding times, favorite treats, walking times, how often to clean up litter boxes, and administering medication if required.

A typical day

A typical day would include getting your pets favorite toys out for playtime and engaging in any safe exercise activities in the home, such as an exercise wheel for cats. For dogs, I would typically walk around the neighborhood, multiple times a day, in order to exercise both their hearts and mind.

Thelma has housesat for us in the past for one of our dogs, Boomer, and has always done an amazing job. This most recent stay, we added our other dog, Bodhi (who is a lot more challenging to walk), and to make it even more challenging, Boomer got pretty seriously sick right before we went away and was prescribed pills and new food. Thelma handled this super well, and she gave us constant updates on Boomer's condition. She even went to our vet to pick up some new medication for Boomer when some new test results came back from our vet while we were away. She truly went above and beyond to keep our pups comfortable, happy, and healthy, which gave us such peace of mind during our trip, and her communication was super on point (which was so important with a sick pup). I will definitely continue to book Thelma and highly recommend her to others as well!

Thelma was punctual, efficient and super attentive with our dog. We were very pleased with her services and would love to have her over to take care of our puppy again.

Thelma took great care of my dog, Scarlett, during a recent trip. She was easy to communicate with, sent photos often, the house was in perfect order, and Scarlett was happy and well fed when I returned.

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.
