Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my main concern. I would do a thorough check on your pets see if there’re any abnormalities. It’s tick season, I know how terrifying that could be!

Information Val Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the typical food and water intake of your pets. I would also love to know about previous incidents to be better prepared for the visit.

A typical day

Scavenger hunt is one of my go to games. Depends on the pet I can hide different types of reinforcements in the house to keep them entertained. Daily walks will be provided and they get to explore different routes!

Val was amazing - sending photos everyday and taking very good care of the house and our cat. We are repeat customers and would love to have her take care of our cat again!

Val was absolutely amazing!! Harley had just gotten out of the hospital and she was soooo insanely patient and loving to him making sure he was forced to take potty breaks and even made sure he was getting enough water through a syringe. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and will definitely be using her again!

Val cared for our two dogs exceptionally well, handling everything from brushing their teeth and grooming their hair to cooking for them. Our dogs stayed in excellent health and condition. Val diligently handled all the chores and kept us updated daily on how our pets were doing, including their eating habits and behaviour. She has a wonderful sense of humour that eased my anxiety, making it easier to leave my babies at home. Thank you, Val, for making our trip possible and taking such good care of Sunny and Bunny.

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.
