About: Hi! Im Erin and I LOVE animals! They are our "furry babies" and we have a duty to make sure they are well taken care of like any other family member! I've been caring for pets since I was a child and have welcomed several breeds and varieties in my home over the years from cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, snakes, turtles, even horses and pigs! I have a cat and a bunny who are friendly and love meeting new pets! My cat Oliver is a loving and cool "big bro" and my bunny Lucy will keep everyone happy and energetic! I know its hard to leave those precious babies home alone while you work all day so let me be their "best friend" when you need the help! I am an Insurance Agent so I work from home most of the week. I have my weekends off but I have time during the week to care for your pets in between meetings and in the evenings. I am not hosting at the moment due to renovations in my home, but I will gladly come to your home to take out your pets or to feed and keep them company while you are away on business or holiday. I am willing to stay at your residence to care for your pets if accommodations are available. I will be willing to wash and perform light grooming if needed and take them where you'd like with and other amenities your pet may need. All can be discussed and negotiated for the situation.
About: I have worked at 2 animal hospitals taking care of all types of dogs and cats and the occasional birds and horses, on site and off site. I have a lot of experience with animals and I am able to recognize signs of abnormal things in the way they act, walk/run, urine/bowl movements, etc. I treat all animals with love and care like they are my own. I am also able to clip and file cats and dogs nails and will bathe them too. I have a lot of experience being able to give oral medications and injectable medications. I know how to care for senior and special needs cats and dogs. Puppies and high energy pets are always extra enjoyable to care for. All the need and want is extra play time and love which I am fully available to give.
“Rachel was so amazing and attentive to my cats! I felt much more comfortable while I was away knowing someone who genuinely cared about my pets while I was away. I will definitely be booking woth Rachel again next time I am out if town!”
Portsmouth Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She sent regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease, and kept me informed the whole time. It was clear my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I’d absolutely book with Alyssa again and highly recommend her!
Highly recommend!! Isabelle was very communicative and took care of what we needed for our 2 cats— especially during such a busy holiday! We are super grateful for the care she provided to our pets while we were away and we will definitely rebook with her in the future.
Chelsea took exceptional care of our cats while we were away. She communicated clearly and sent so many photos for us to see! Our kids missed the cats so much and being able to see them and know they were being loved meant the world to them. Our cats are very shy, but Chelsey was able to befriend them and give them some much needed snuggles. She not only followed the instructions we left, but she also went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean and nice smelling house. I will definitely check Chelsey's availability the next time we go away, as well as reccomend this app and Chelsey to anyone who is in need of pet sitting in the area. We are so impressed, thank you!!!!
