Pet care experience
I was put on this earth to help animals live healthy, happy, thriving lives! My cats and (late) dog have and will always play a crucial role in my life, and I’ve dedicated myself to mine and YOURS! Having spent some years volunteering with a no-kill rescue animal shelter & clinic, this INVALUABLE experience exposed me to many common behavioral and medical scenarios. I bring all I learned there as well as my own adoptions to your buddies too! Bare minimum just ain’t enough. I know how nerve-racking it can be to entrust our little darlings to another’s care. I think to myself, “What would make ME smile and feel at ease if the tables were turned and you were caring for MY darlings?” I want to create the utmost PAWSITIVE experience out of what can be challenging for anyone!
Reviews
Whitney is the best with our spicy torties! She takes great care of them and send awesome pics.
Whitney was exceptional! Not only was she great at communicating and following all the instructions but she went above and beyond to make sure my little anxious cat felt comfortable and very well taken care of. Thank you for all your effort and patience Whitney 🐱
First time Rover user here and booked with Whitney - we could not be happier! My three cats and elderly disabled bunny received daily love and care, playtime, and treats for a week. Whitney really went above and beyond, even bringing extra treasures for them and dealing with several unfortunate cat vomit incidents. Her reports were thorough and always brought a smiles to our faces while my partner and I were on vacation, and she was extremely responsive when I had questions or requests. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have found someone I feel safe leaving my most precious friends with! Thank you so much, Whitney!
Whitney takes such great care of our shy timid cat, Mochi. She actually was able to get Mochi to warm up to her. She sends lots of photos and was great at keeping us updated.
