Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.

Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I grew up riding horses and spent years at the barn caring for the horses, dogs, and cats. I've had my own dogs and taken care of other people's. I would love to take your dog for walks and spoil them with love! I am also licensed in my town and have pet sitting insurance outside of Rover's insurance. I have a flexible job and work from home most days. I can fit in walks or be around the house with your dog. I have a secure and good sized fenced in yard and live near a dog park as well if your dog is okay with other dogs. I balance spoiling dogs with lots of love, treats, and pats with making sure dogs get whatever individual care they need including feedings, exercise, and medications if needed.

Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.

About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 4 years, and will be starting veterinary school in the fall. I am passionate about making pets feel safe, cared for, and happy in whatever ways I can. This is reflected in both my years working in the veterinary field, and the many years taking care of my own family dogs. While your pet is in my care, I treat them as my own! I am currently working per diem as a vet assistant, and enjoying the summer before I begin graduate school. I have very open availability on days where I am not working, which are reflected in my calendar. I have grown up around dogs and cats, and feel comfortable caring for and being around animals in all settings. I have lots of practice with walking dogs around other people, children, and dogs. My experience as a vet assistant allows me to be comfortable if your pet requires medication or specialized care during my time with them.

Lauren is the best. My cat Luna hates being alone but Lauren was there for her on-time every day while I was in Italy. She kept in close contact with photos and chats and I never once worried about Luna. Will hire her again next time I'm away. Thanks Lauren!

I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!

Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!
