13. Serenity N.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals from start-of-life to end-to-life. I’m currently the caretaker of 4 senior animals (dog, 2 cats, lizard) and 2 adult cats. I have a fair share of experience with overweight/special needs dogs. Feel free to inquire about my experiences! I’m a full-time student during the spring/fall. I have open availability during the summer and in between semesters. I love animals, and like to spend whatever time I can with them! I have a multi-level house with fences and gates. The alley cats are separated into the back of the house; the dog, house cats, and lizard stay on the 1st floor. Everyone explores the front and back yards.

“Sujae is an excellent cat sitter. She came for drop in visits on time and consistently over multiple days. I liked seeing pictures of all the cats and the nice notes she left. She helped me out of a jam when another sitter cancelled my pet sitting while I was already out of town. Rover helped me find Sujae and I’m super happy we found each other! Sujae did a wonderful job for me and my cats. Thanks Sujae!”

20. Jessica G.
About: I grew up having a dalmatian dog in my family named Tiger. We had him since he was a puppy and i always made sure he was well taken care of throughout his life. I have always owned a variety of pets and enjoy their company. I also enjoy long walks on trails in my free time, I would say it's one of my hobbies apart from exploring the city. I have always been very fond of animals and hope to work with them someday. For now i would be happy doing any sort of work that involves animals. I'm currently available to work as either a sitter or walker and am hoping to try it out soon. I actually have a very flexible schedule! Please just message me and I will respond promptly. Thank you for reading, have a great day today! I have experience petsitting at other peoples homes so no need to worry about me! If housed at my home I have a cat running around so no cat biters!
