17. Amberleigh D.
About: I am certified as a veterinary assistant in NY through HVCC. I worked at a veterinary clinic for one year. I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I have even fostered multiple cats and dogs and helped them get adopted. I have also run cross-country in high school, so I have a lot of energy and endurance for dogs that need more time outside. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furbaby or furbabies! I'm available for services on weekends and weekdays. I enjoy walking every day; I walk at least 5 miles a day and would love company. My pets at home require different care. I have a super hyperactive dog whom I take out every 3 hours for 15 minutes. I also have four cats, and I clean their litter boxes (including vacuuming and mopping the area) daily. My pets are fed twice a day. I trim their nails when needed (my dog about once every 2 weeks and my cats once a month). I also brush and groom them. I have trained all my pets basic commands (NOT Certified), including my cats.
18. Kate O.
“Kate was very professional and easy to communicate with. She took very good care of my kitty and I am very pleased with my experience with her!!”
19. Patricia B.
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
20. Lauren V.
“Lauren did an amazing job watching my 2 cats for the weekend! She sent thorough notes and lots of pic! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”
