“This was my first time using Rover, and Amber made it a fantastic experience. She was reliable and communicative. I was nervous leaving Teddy and MoMo for the first time, but Amber put all my worries at ease. She followed all my instructions perfectly (even I changed most my instructions on the day of visit 🥲) The daily pictures were a lifesaver, and my home was left perfectly tidy. Highly recommend!"”
About: I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had at least two and sometimes three dogs. We bred corgis and standard poodles and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also own three cats and take care of an outdoor feral. I'm comfortable medicating dogs, cats, and even reptiles. (I can feed reptiles as well, I'm not worried about bugs :) I currently work from home so I'm free most afternoons and evenings and would love to use some of the spare time I have to take care of dogs and cats. I have experience caring for pets in their home and would be happy to let your dog out in the backyard for playtime or take them on a walk around the block. If you need them crated after, I can do that too.

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was unsure of the process and booking procedures. But once I met with Chelsea, she was very professional and listened to what I needed for my trip. I had booked her and went on a two-week vacation - and I felt very comfortable within the first couple of days, as Chelsea had went above and beyond, feeding my four cats and bird and providing exceptional updates with photos and messages. She was communicative, prompt, and very friendly to my cats. I would book her again without a doubt - excellent cat sitter and highly recommended! I am very satisfied.”

I’ve never left my cats with a pet sitter before. To be honest, both of them are a bit of a scaredy-cat. Lol. Jennifer came in every morning and evening, and took care of them wonderfully. Granted one of them never showed her face, lol. But the other one was very bad at hiding. Lol. Jennifer was very professional. Such a great personality too. She did everything I asked of her and went above and beyond too. Would definitely recommend her. She was amazing. Thank you, Jennifer for all you did.
