Pet care experience

We share our home with our 18 year old cat Polvo. A few years ago, we lost our 13 year old Pitbull, Jane, to cancer and really miss her. Her loss is what motivated us to begin pet sitting through Rover. ❤️ Our cat Polvo is great with other dogs and cats and has an easy going, friendly disposition. We have been pet owners for several years and are knowledgeable as to how much love and care pets need. If you are in need of someone to take care of your fur baby while you travel out of town, look no further - you've found the right family.

Vanessa and Dario were fantastic with my very shy, young cat! They were so responsible and caring, and I truly felt my cat was in great hands! It was amazing to be able to be away from town without worrying that my cat wasn't getting the attention or care he needed. One thing they did that set them apart from past sitters was that they cleaned out his wet food bowl every time they visited, something that my cat is very picky about. He usually does not eat well when I'm away, but this simple, yet thoughtful, touch kept him eating his regular amount while I was away! I couldn't recommend them more!

Dario was an amazing car sitter for both Pantera and Whitie. He was even able to pet Pantera, a complete miracle! Whitie was shy, but he made sure to find her at every visit and check her. Vanessa joined in the first few visits and when Whitie needed her meds. I truly appreciate their care towards the cats, particularly at such a busy and festive part of the year!
