“Cristian took good care of my two-year old kitty. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and I felt comfortable leaving him, knowing she was looking in on him.”
About: I am a full-time educator looking for some part time work. Im introverted so I spend loads of time at home with the fur babies. On weekdays I will be out from 7am-5pm most days. Weekends will be dependent on scheduled boarding and any pre-scheduled compromises. Pleask ask for accommodations. I have a very gentle, shy 1 year old cat. At home, I have a gate that can try to separate them as much as possible. At a client’s home, that will be dependent on the needs of the owner and animal companion.
“Vanshika was awesome! I really appreciated how she sent "heading out" texts, and her visit reports were super detailed with tons of pictures. She even reported on his, uh, litter box visits, which was incredibly appreciated because of Sam's chronic GI issues. No such issues during this visit!! Sam was aloof but that didn't stop her from trying to interact with him each visit. I really, really recommend hiring Vanshika!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life here in NYC, so I started caring for and loving cats since then.

Norhan Y.
“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Norhan as a caregiver on Rover! Norhan has a deep love for animals and I don't know if I have seen someone have as much love for their dog as Norhan has for her dog, Kita. From the moment that I met Norhan over 5 years ago, it was evident that she is a spiritual human with a special soul and appreciation for animals. Her doggy Kita has done more traveling and has visited more cities and countries than I have! Norhan goes above and beyond for her doggy and treats her like a princess! She gets her pets the best food and toys and their relationship is a true example of man (and woman's) best friend! Norhan is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. I cannot think of a person that I would trust more with my pets than her. She consistently went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests or instructions we had, and always kept us updated with regular communication and adorable photos, providing us with peace of mind while we were away. Moreover, Norhan is highly adaptable and resourceful. She is capable of handling any unexpected situations with grace and professionalism, demonstrating her ability to remain calm under pressure and make quick, sound decisions in the best interest of your pet. In addition to her exceptional caregiving skills, Norhan is an A+ friend and person. She possesses excellent interpersonal skills, always maintaining a positive attitude and fostering strong bonds with humans and animals alike. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Norhan to anyone seeking a caring, responsible, and dedicated caregiver for their furry [or scaly lol] family member. Respectfully, Dr. Rey R”

I have no doubt that Janet would be an asset to your team and would thrive in this role. I wholeheartedly recommend her and believe that she would be a valuable addition to your organization.

“My husband and I love our 2 cats immensely and they are practically our kids. We want reliable and loving care for them when we travel, which is 5 or more times a year because of our work.

One of our cats is a grumpy old man, but Sanjida still ensures that she plays with him and gets him to exercise and eat properly while we're traveling. Often going above and beyond, she has cleaned up our older cat's vomit when he was going through an ill phase. She sends pictures and videos regularly also, which we appreciate. If you're considering pet care, Sanjida is THE ONE. DO IT! You won't regret leaving your pets under her watch.”
