Olivia was great! We contacted her last minute to stop in to check on our 1 year old golden doodle while we were at a Penn State football game. She visited 3 times when we were gone and did a great job. She sent pictures from each of her visits.

Caroline is such an incredible sitter. My cats took a liking to her almost immediately, even though they are very anxious, and she made them feel very safe. We also had some last minute requests that we needed for one cat, and Caroline was so accommodating. She is amazing with communication, and really does go above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend anyone better.

Hannah was extremely attentive to our cat Morris who is experiencing gastric upset. She adjusted his food as to his needs which we greatly appreciated. She gave detailed reports on his condition. We felt Morris was well taken care of. Would recommend Hannah to other clients.

Izzi is so wonderful with my cat and truly the best sitter I’ve ever had! Her updates are super thorough and the photos of my baby are always adorable. She really does go above and beyond. My cat and I are repeat clients and Izzi is always my first choice for a sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town, I feel like I can actually relax when I know she is checking in on my girl!

Cheyenne has taken care of our two large dogs and house on several occasions. She follows our instructions, keeps them on their regular schedule, gives them extra attention, and communicates well with us about their care. They are always excited to see her and I don’t even think they miss us much when Cheyenne is here to take care of them!

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Faith, a student of mine, who is applying to become a dog walker and caretaker on Rover. I have known Faith for many years, and I am confident in her abilities as a pet-sitter due to her exceptional qualities and experiences. While she was surrounded by pets her entire life, Faith's passion for animals became evident when she welcomed her border collie, Bingo, into her life at the age of twelve. Faith's dedication and determination led her to teach Bingo over 100 tricks and participate in dog agility classes together. Their bond was remarkable, and they worked diligently to earn Bingo's certification as a Canine Good Citizen. Faith's history in training and understanding canine behavior truly sets her apart. Having grown up surrounded by various pets, including cats and chickens, Faith possesses years of experience caring for animals. She is equally adept at meeting the needs of cats as she is with dogs, as evidenced by her deep understanding and natural affinity for feline companions. Faith can read their behaviors, provide the necessary care, and create a nurturing environment. Her love for cats is evident through her playful interactions and patient approach, as demonstrated by her endearing relationship with her mischievous and spirited cat, Nelly. Faith is currently a proud owner of a rescue border collie named Little Pip, who exemplifies her remarkable abilities as a pet caretaker. Little Pip is well-behaved and possesses a gentle and sweet nature, a testament to Faith's training and nurturing. Her knowledge of animal behavior allows her to understand their needs and emotions, enabling her to provide the appropriate care and attention required. One of Faith's notable strengths is her ability to read animals and establish a connection with them. She is attuned to their signals and can effectively respond to their needs. Faith is both gentle and firm when necessary, demonstrating a balanced approach to handling animals. Her playfulness and enthusiasm make her an ideal companion, ensuring that pets under her care receive not only responsible attention but also a fun and engaging experience. Faith's sense of responsibility is unwavering. She takes her commitments seriously and can be relied upon to provide exceptional care to any pet entrusted to her. Her genuine love and concern for the well-being of animals drive her to go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and safety. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Faith as a pet-sitter. Her extensive experience, training, and profound understanding of animals make her an excellent candidate for this role. Faith's responsible nature, combined with her playful demeanor, guarantees that any pet under her care will receive exceptional attention and care. I have complete trust in Faith's abilities as a pet owner and am confident that she will excel in her endeavors as a pet walker and caretaker. - Katrina
