She also told me all about caring for her own cats and mother’s cat so I knew she is a real cat person that needs no instruction on cat language :)”

7. Becky H.
“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my personalized approach to pet care. I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. With me, your pets will receive not just basic care, but attention, affection, and a lot of fun! I work remotely so your furry friends won’t be lonely. I’m adaptable to your pet’s needs whether that requires multiple walks a day, plenty of play time, etc. I care for pets in my home by creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. I can cater to your pet’s needs whether that is providing plenty of playtime, exercise, and/or mental stimulation. I maintain a clean and comfortable space, follow their regular routines, and offer lots of affection and attention to ensure they feel at home.

19. Michelle F.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my Georgie! You can tell right away that she has a natural gift with animals - the kind of person pets just instantly trust. She sent me updates throughout their time together, and I could see how happy and relaxed Georgie was in her care. What really stands out is how Michelle treats each pet like her own family member, giving them all the attention and love they need. Georgie came home so content and well-cared for. It's such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. Couldn't recommend Michelle more highly - she's definitely my go-to pet sitter now!”
