“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”
“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“Meghan was amazing!! We left our dog Kea with her and her husband and they treated her like part of the family. She sent updates throughout the day and Kea came home so tired from all the fun she had! Would definitely recommend Maghan!”
“Kathleen was absolutely exceptional. From our initial meeting to the pick of my pups she was communicative, attentive and treated my pups like gold! I’m so grateful so have found her and highly recommend her for your future services!”
About: I’m an experienced pet lover offering a safe, active home environment for your furry friend while you’re away. I know how important daily exercise and routine are, and I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of activity and attention. My home is comfortable and pet-friendly, and I treat every guest like my own with patience and genuine affection. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or just knowing when a pet needs quiet time. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the school year, but my schedule allows me to come home for potty breaks and check-ins throughout the day, so pets are never left alone for long stretches. Come summer, I’m off entirely and able to offer full-time attention, exercise, and companionship I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving pets safe space to run and play off-leash. I’m also happy to accommodate crate-trained pets, whether that’s for naptime, overnight, or just maintaining their normal routine while staying with me.
“Awesome dog sitter! My Toby was very well cared for and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Lots of wonderful pictures and updates. Would definitely use again!”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“This is the second time I used Chastidy and she takes such good care of my Benz. We are so happy to know he is in good hands when we need to leave him for a few days.”
“We initially wanted neighbors for our dog DiDi. However, because our 19 days of travel overlapped with the Labor Day weekend, no neighbor was available. So, we decided Rover might be able to vet a caregiver. We found the perfect person, Marie! Owning a small dog, she is a very experienced care giver, and well worth the expense for our peace of mind. We would consider Marie of our first choice during our next out-of-town travel.”
“Elaine was amazing!! She was very patient with my baby who is very anxious around new people and places. She let me know how she was doing daily. And to my surprise, my Chi-chi even got along with her dog. I would definitely recommend and re-book with Elaine in the future.”
“Barbara and David were amazing!! Percy had the best time staying with them. They took such good care of him and kept me updated with pictures and video! I can’t wait to book with them again!! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Barbara and David!!! ❤️🦮🐾🦴”
“Melissa and Dan are the best. They’ve watched both of our dogs on several occasions and are always amazing with them. They are our “go-to” sitters. Highly recommend.”
“Colleen was so great with Abe! We had pet care fall through last minute less than a week before our vacation and Colleen was a true life saver. She was reassuring throughout the booking process and sent plenty of pictures during Abe’s stay, helping put our minds at ease. Her home was very clean and welcoming, and we are so lucky to have left Abe in such great hands.”
“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“Swapna was the best! She truly treated Bolo like family. So much so that Bolo did want to come home! Swapna sent updates, videos and pictures. Comnunication was great! She has a huge fenced yard for your " pup to play in! She is now my go to on Rover.”
“Vicky and John were great. Our dog Buster fell in love with their dog Jojo, and followed her everywhere. He got lots of exercise and didn't want to leave. We will definitely plan more sleep overs in the future.”
“Borey was such a wonderful host for our dog Loona. She sent photos daily while we were out of town of our dog walking, playing with her dog Dawkin, having fun with the kids, & even getting doggy massages! I'm pretty sure my dog didn't want to leave her, or her wonderful family! Highly recommended & Definitely re-booking!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.
About: I’m the proud mom of my cat Bubba, so I know cats aren’t just “low maintenance dogs” — they have their own routines, moods, and quirks that deserve real attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, scooping litter, brushing, and giving medication when needed. I know how to read body language, give shy cats space to warm up, and recognize when something’s off. Whether your cat wants lap time or just a quiet human nearby, I’ll respect their personality and keep them feeling safe while you’re away.
“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Giana did a great job with our cats! She was reliable, responsive, and gave great updates. She was also super friendly and had fun with our cats. Would definitely have her sit for us again! Thank you, Giana!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and currently care for cats of my own. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or newly adopted. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, medication instructions, and providing plenty of affection while respecting each cat’s boundaries. I treat every pet like family and always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Avery was the best! She took such good care of my kitten while I was away. She made sure she was taken care of and spent so much time with her getting all her kitty energy out. She kept me in the loop on everything and sent my the most gorgeous photos. I can’t wait to have her back with Phoebe again!”
“Karren was so attentive and amazing to my cat! She made sure that she was safe and comfortable and provided a safe space for Luna to go too when she was stressed! She also introduced her to kittens which really let me know that I could get another cat if I wanted too.”

From playful kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention, I provide calm, loving, and reliable care in a stress-free environment. I understand that every cat has unique routines and boundaries, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
About: Cat-only care is one of my specialties. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician with 12 years of experience, currently working in the ER/ICU of a 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital. I have extensive experience with cats of all ages, including seniors, medically complex cats, and those who are shy, fearful, or stressed by change. I’m trained in feline-friendly handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and injections), and recognizing subtle signs of pain, stress, or illness that cats often hide. I understand how important routine, calm energy, and patience are for cats, and I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat needs medical support or simply a quiet, attentive presence, you can feel confident they’re in experienced, compassionate hands.
About: I have taken care of my family’s cats from when I was 15 years old. Then i would watch my sister’s cats when she would go on vacation. I’ve taken them to the vet, cleaned their litter boxes, fed them wet food, raw food, and played with them. One has favorited a crinkle squirrel and the other favors a ribbon on a pole.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Labrador who was part of my family for 16 wonderful years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals from an early age. Since the age of 17, I have worked as a pet sitter caring for both dogs and cats, providing dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets.I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention as if they were part of my own family. I work full-time during the week, but I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and care to pets staying with me. Even when I am not home, my husband is home, so there is always someone present to supervise, keep company, and care for your pets. This means your furry family members will never feel alone and will always receive attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply a calm and safe environment, I adapt to their needs and routine to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full-time but work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends. On the days I’m not home, my husband is present, so pets are never left alone and always have supervision and company. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with consistency and attention at all times.
“Elaine was great and caring. My pup always feels anxious when she is in a new environment and with new people. Elaine did her best so that Daisy felt good like at home. She took a great care of my dog. I’m very thankful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her!”
“I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!”
About: I have had fur babies all my life. I love all types of animals. I have had little dogs and great danes and loved and trained them all. Every one is special in their own way.

“Castillo was great and very communicative and flexible! Kosby seemed to have enjoyed himself, came home safe in one piece and tired! We ended up having to set up the next day since my work schedule was so unpredictable, so Castillo’s flex to accommodate me was very appreciated! Looking forward to future times for Kosby to stay with Castillo soon!”
“Yogi had an amazing time at Swapna’s. She was always sending updates and making sure all of Yogis needs were met! We did a meet and greet before and Swapna made us feel very comfortable with dropping off Yogi! We will definitely be back!”
About: Devoted Dog Lover with a Lifetime of Experience About Me: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog enthusiast who’s had the joy of sharing my life with furry friends for as long as I can remember. Recently, I said a heartfelt goodbye to my beloved companion of 18 years, with whom I shared countless adventures and daily walks. This experience has deepened my understanding and compassion for dogs of all ages and needs. My Approach: I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, offering them the same love, care, and attention that I provided to my own pet. My approach is grounded in patience, understanding, and a keen awareness of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, leisurely strolls, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Experience: Throughout my life, I’ve nurtured and cared for several dogs, each with their own special quirks and requirements. I’m experienced in handling a range of breeds, temperaments, and age groups. My recent 18-year journey with my senior dog has especially equipped me to understand the gentle care and patience needed for older pets. Services Offered: • Daily walks (with a keen sense for your dog’s preferred pace and distance) • Feeding and medication administration, if required • Regular updates and photos to assure you of your pet’s well-being • Lots of love, play, and attention • Experience in caring for senior dogs Closing Note: I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same warmth and affection that’s been a cornerstone of my life. Your dog’s happiness and safety will always be my top priority! Pet care is an integral and cherished part of my daily routine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate to the pets I care for. My days are structured around ensuring that the dogs in my care receive all the attention and activity they need. Morning: My day typically starts with a morning walk, which I find is a great way to help the dogs get some fresh air and exercise first thing in the day. It’s also a peaceful time for them to explore and enjoy the quieter hours. Midday: Throughout the day, I ensure they have plenty of playtime, whether it’s in the backyard or inside with toys. I’m always attentive to their need for interaction and mental stimulation. Afternoon: In the afternoon, we usually go for another walk. This is a longer one, where we can explore local parks or walking trails, allowing the dogs to experience new sights and smells. Evening: As the day winds down, I focus on quieter activities like cuddling or gentle play, ensuring the dogs are calm and relaxed. Evening is also the time for dinner and any needed medications. Night: Before bedtime, there’s a short walk or a quick backyard visit, so the dogs are comfortable through the night. Throughout the day, I’m attentive to the dogs’ needs for food, water, and bathroom breaks. I also ensure they have a comfortable and safe space to rest. Being home most of the day allows me to provide constant companionship and supervision, ensuring that the dogs in my care are not just looked after, but also loved and cherished. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home, is done with utmost attention to their comfort, safety, and happiness. My approach is tailored to each pet’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their environment. In My Home: • Safe Environment: I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no hazards and plenty of cozy, comfortable spots for them to rest. • Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for meals, walks, and playtime, which helps pets feel secure and settled. • Play and Exercise: I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, tailored to the pet’s energy level and health. • Affection: I believe in plenty of cuddles and affection to make them feel at home. • Supervision: Continuous supervision is provided, ensuring their safety at all times. In Clients’ Homes: • Respect for the Home: I am meticulous about respecting the client’s space, ensuring it’s kept clean and secure. • Following Instructions: I strictly adhere to the pet care instructions provided by the client, respecting their routines and rules. • Updates: Regular updates with photos are sent to the client, keeping them connected with their pet’s activities and well-being. • Emergency Preparedness: I am prepared and informed about the pet’s needs and local veterinary services in case of an emergency. Common to Both: • Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on the pet’s health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns. • Hydration and Nutrition: Ensuring regular access to fresh water and feeding them as per their dietary requirements. • Medication Administration: If needed, I am experienced in administering medications. My goal is to provide a loving, fun, and safe experience for pets, giving them the care and attention they would receive from their own families.
About: 🏆 20+ yrs Experience !! BIG FENCED IN YARD !! *** SPECIALIZE IN LONG STAYS *** I love and respect each animal for who they are as I do people. I am confident when caring for any pet that we will respect and understand one another, I gage their demeanor and temperament and than go from there. I keep a calm and clean (but lived in) home and I utilize my big fenced in yard to it's fullest!! I love playing catch with the dogs and the cats I let them do their thing whether it's cuddling on the couch or if they are skiddish or shy I let them be until they are comfortable enough to be approached or to approach me. I also can give baths and trim nails! Need a sitter who has a big heart and a big yard? Call me! I have a semi flexible work schedule and I'm 10 mins from my house. I pop in and out during work hours and I'm home everyday and night 24/7 Cameras inside and out to keep an eye on the woof pack!! I am diligent on our daily schedule and bc of this the pups usually seem to get it after a day or two tops. I think sticking to a regimented schedule calms them almost immediately. Once they all have there “spot” where they sleep and eat the anxiety level instantly drops a few levels for every one of them. I have a large secure fenced in yard very open for running, playing catch or Frisbee, I can brush or bath any pet for you and I also offer nail trimming. Big bowls of fresh FILTERED water inside and out changed several times a day. I am diligent on dietary restrictions. Every day i make one on one time for each and every pup, they really love and appreciate it! i totally get that they need that time especially before bed. (I tuck them all in)
“I felt very confident that Gordon was in good hands with Melissa and Dan! I loved seeing all the pics and know, even with his anxiety, that he warmed up to their kindness and patience. Would absolutely use their services again 🙏🏼”
“Wonderful family! Daisy enjoyed staying with them. I was in a crunch trying to find a sitter and Lauren and Derek were there for us. They did a great job making my dog feel comfortable when she was initially nervous. I highly recommend!”

“Nicole was great! Murphy is a very energetic puppy and nicole was able to manage his energy while on walks and continue with our training regimen for him! She was excited to stay and play with Murphy for some TLC after his walks! She was on time and stayed for the chosen time slot we agreed on. Even accommodated to the bad weather we had! We will definitely be having her again to watch our Murphy!”

I have been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets.I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention as if they were part of my own family. I work full-time during the week, but I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and care to pets staying with me. Even when I am not home, my husband is home, so there is always someone present to supervise, keep company, and care for your pets. This means your furry family members will never feel alone and will always receive attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply a calm and safe environment, I adapt to their needs and routine to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full-time but work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends. On the days I’m not home, my husband is present, so pets are never left alone and always have supervision and company. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with consistency and attention at all times.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve had pets my whole life and started pet sitting for friends and family at a young age. I naturally connect with animals and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I am actively job searching, but I prioritize the pets I’m caring for and keep my availability up to date. treat every pet like they’re my own. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free so your pet can relax while you’re away.
“Avery is amazing with our Kaya. She has a friendly, welcoming personality and goes above and beyond. She made sure Kaya had everything she needed, she showed genuine care for our dog. I'm so happy we found this Rover app and found Avery. She was our first dog walker through this app and she helped guide me through the process. We will definitely be calling Avery to help us once she gets back from college. Thank you for being a good human Avery! Kaya can't wait to see you again. 🐶🐾❤️”
About: I am the go to for friends and family to help with their pets. I want to do this more often and have a job that I feel loved as soon as I walk in the door. I am currently not working and I am looking to be able to get out of the house and help out by taking care of your dogs. I have two dogs and a fenced in yard. I am not currently looking to bring other dogs into my home but will come to you.
About: Having a small tiny dog(chihuahua) of my own, I've learned to be creative with the activities that we do as well as find different places to take her for walks. My dog is very temperamental, so I've had to increase my own training skills to be able to be a better pet mom. I'm open to trying new things and I'm great at following instructions. I am extremely dependable and I pride myself on always being on time and communicating when things don't go as planned. I love all dogs and will take care of yours as if its my own. My specific availability is Monday thru Friday 6 AM-8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I have open availability on the weekends which is where I hope to do the most work. I work from home two days a week (Monday and Tuesday)and am off on weekends so I have plenty of time to fit in long weekend boardings. I have a fenced in yard which makes it easy to carve out play time or potty breaks. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and there is a dog park within walking distance.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my medical background and experience. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician with 12 years of hands-on experience, currently working in the ER/ICU of a 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications (including injections), monitoring for subtle changes, and responding calmly in urgent situations. I have extensive experience with senior pets, anxious animals, and those recovering from illness or surgery. I’m trained to recognize early signs of distress and communicate clearly with owners if anything seems off. While safety and health always come first, I also believe in gentle handling, patience, and making pets feel secure and loved in my care. Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be cared for by someone who treats them as if they were her own. I’m very flexible with my schedule. I work three 12-hour overnight shifts, which gives me four full days off each week. On my days off, pet care is my main focus, allowing me to be fully present for visits, walks, check-ins, and extended care. Even on workdays, I’m organized and reliable with scheduling and communication to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care. I primarily focus on caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable and routines can stay the same. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box maintenance, and enrichment. I take time to build trust, especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets, and adjust my approach to each pet’s needs. With my background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I’m attentive to both emotional well-being and health, and I monitor for any changes in behavior or condition. My goal is always to provide calm, consistent, and compassionate care so your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away.

About: Devoted Dog Lover with a Lifetime of Experience About Me: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog enthusiast who’s had the joy of sharing my life with furry friends for as long as I can remember. Recently, I said a heartfelt goodbye to my beloved companion of 18 years, with whom I shared countless adventures and daily walks. This experience has deepened my understanding and compassion for dogs of all ages and needs. My Approach: I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, offering them the same love, care, and attention that I provided to my own pet. My approach is grounded in patience, understanding, and a keen awareness of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, leisurely strolls, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Experience: Throughout my life, I’ve nurtured and cared for several dogs, each with their own special quirks and requirements. I’m experienced in handling a range of breeds, temperaments, and age groups. My recent 18-year journey with my senior dog has especially equipped me to understand the gentle care and patience needed for older pets. Services Offered: • Daily walks (with a keen sense for your dog’s preferred pace and distance) • Feeding and medication administration, if required • Regular updates and photos to assure you of your pet’s well-being • Lots of love, play, and attention • Experience in caring for senior dogs Closing Note: I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same warmth and affection that’s been a cornerstone of my life. Your dog’s happiness and safety will always be my top priority! Pet care is an integral and cherished part of my daily routine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate to the pets I care for. My days are structured around ensuring that the dogs in my care receive all the attention and activity they need. Morning: My day typically starts with a morning walk, which I find is a great way to help the dogs get some fresh air and exercise first thing in the day. It’s also a peaceful time for them to explore and enjoy the quieter hours. Midday: Throughout the day, I ensure they have plenty of playtime, whether it’s in the backyard or inside with toys. I’m always attentive to their need for interaction and mental stimulation. Afternoon: In the afternoon, we usually go for another walk. This is a longer one, where we can explore local parks or walking trails, allowing the dogs to experience new sights and smells. Evening: As the day winds down, I focus on quieter activities like cuddling or gentle play, ensuring the dogs are calm and relaxed. Evening is also the time for dinner and any needed medications. Night: Before bedtime, there’s a short walk or a quick backyard visit, so the dogs are comfortable through the night. Throughout the day, I’m attentive to the dogs’ needs for food, water, and bathroom breaks. I also ensure they have a comfortable and safe space to rest. Being home most of the day allows me to provide constant companionship and supervision, ensuring that the dogs in my care are not just looked after, but also loved and cherished. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home, is done with utmost attention to their comfort, safety, and happiness. My approach is tailored to each pet’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their environment. In My Home: • Safe Environment: I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no hazards and plenty of cozy, comfortable spots for them to rest. • Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for meals, walks, and playtime, which helps pets feel secure and settled. • Play and Exercise: I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, tailored to the pet’s energy level and health. • Affection: I believe in plenty of cuddles and affection to make them feel at home. • Supervision: Continuous supervision is provided, ensuring their safety at all times. In Clients’ Homes: • Respect for the Home: I am meticulous about respecting the client’s space, ensuring it’s kept clean and secure. • Following Instructions: I strictly adhere to the pet care instructions provided by the client, respecting their routines and rules. • Updates: Regular updates with photos are sent to the client, keeping them connected with their pet’s activities and well-being. • Emergency Preparedness: I am prepared and informed about the pet’s needs and local veterinary services in case of an emergency. Common to Both: • Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on the pet’s health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns. • Hydration and Nutrition: Ensuring regular access to fresh water and feeding them as per their dietary requirements. • Medication Administration: If needed, I am experienced in administering medications. My goal is to provide a loving, fun, and safe experience for pets, giving them the care and attention they would receive from their own families.
