Kyleigh stayed with Ellie for 3 nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was outstanding -- amazing communication before her stay, she visited us twice before we left, she's extremely responsive and replies to texts almost immediately. She took excellent care of Ellie who is 6 weeks post-op after surgery on a torn knee. She has many restrictions and takes meds 2x/day and Kyleigh handled all of that with confidence and ease. Kyleigh left the house in pristine condition and even left us some of the brownies she baked while there! We are already planning to rebook with her!

Mark is fantastic. There aren’t enough words in this review box to express just how fantastic. He agreed to a relatively last minute booking when another sitter fell through. He is very professional. Our house looks better and our dog looks happier than we left him. Mark was very communicative, accommodating & sent plenty of updates.

About: I’ve taken care of everything from small cats to wolf dogs. I will be able to take care of your pets, they will be happy with me. I typically only work in the early morning at my regular job so I will have plenty of time for your furry babies. I can either stay with them or do check ins a few times per day. I care for your pets by going by whatever schedule or rules you set out. No matter what, I will do my best to make sure they are happy and safe.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life! Dogs, cats. I loved getting to know them all and take care of them. There personalities are all different much like a human and I am always excited to see who they really are. I am looking to get a part time job within the next two weeks. So more than not I will be able to watch and play with my new friends more! I have been around many dogs before even ones that are more aggressive. Over time I have started to learn the signs of two dogs who are uncomfortable with each other. I would never leave a dog with another dog that isn’t comfortable. I can crate the dog or have them there at different times.

About: I’ve been caring for my own cats and chinchillas since I was 11. I used to walk dogs when I was younger simply for the fun of it and have handled a variety of pets, from rabbits, guinea pigs, chihuahuas to english mastiffs. I’m a baby LVT and freshly graduated Bachelors student from Delhi’s veterinary technology program. I have experience with medicating pets whether it be a pill, ointment, etc, especially by myself. I have performed intramuscular and SQ injections, and with IV as well. I love meeting new pets + their owners, and getting more and more experience with varying ages and breeds. I also took BOCES during high school, and have experience with grooming, nail trimming and ear cleaning. I simply have fun with it because I love animals, and keep organized notes to ensure I remember everything specific for pets as I thrive best on details and structure. That being said I have not used Rover much and only temporarily ever open my account if I have a break. So please bear with me! :) Now that I’ve graduated, I’m taking a short break from working to enjoy my summer off. This frees up my time entirely aside from any dates marked in my calendar that I’m unavailable. I may have plans here or there but I can work around them to still drop in and do visits however many times best for your pets! It gets me out of the house :) I have so much experience with my own very mischievous pets. Animal safety and comfort is a big priority to me and I will always take an owners notes to heart about a pet, I will write things down. Whether it be feeding routines, exercise, precautions on habits (like chewing cords, my cats are very guilty of this). I would expect a clients home to be pet proofed to the best extent they can offer, but I have great hearing for small sounds and if I pick up on any suspicious I will immediately check it out incase a pet is doing something they aren’t supposed to. I’ve seen and heard a few horror stories about foreign bodies, and emergency trips so I try to be very thorough with pet safety.

About: I grew up with two cats, so I love cats as well as dogs. In 2019, I adopted an incredibly loving, gorgeous lab pit named Lucy, and she keeps me very active every day! She was a rescue dog, and although we were originally fostering her, I bonded with her too much to let her go. I’ve always been a natural introvert and have been drawn to the compassion of animals. I believe we can learn more about our own humanity through caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your amazing furry friends! In addition to Rover, I substitute teach right now, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. It's closer to part-time than full-time. My priority is to listen and adapt to each client’s needs/preferences, so that both the client and their pets will be as happy as possible.
