“Hey, I just wanted to give a big shout out to my new pet sitter Madeline I have an old big GreatDane named Murphy Usually, I can make it home for a little break midday to let him out, but work has been crazy lately.I always feel bad that he might be stressing about going out to the bathroom midday. So on a whim, I started researching Rover Sitter’s I really thought it was going to be a process I figured I would reach out to one or two sitters a week and do some meet and greets So I found Madeline on Rover and, she looked kind and caring, and I liked the reviews from legitimately caring pet owners So I reached out to her on Friday, she got back to me within seconds, and suggested that we meet on Saturday Wow, never thought it was going to be that quick I thought I’d have to wait and wait and wait for responses So we plan to meet and greet and I told her that my house was a little hard to find, and GPS always messes everybody up I explained to her what my house looked like Come Saturday, she arrived early, explaining that she wanted to make sure that she found my house I was impressed that somebody was very considerate of my time She came in my house and she was very calm and spoke quietly to him , which is exactly what he is used to I explained my concerns to her and how he was getting older and I worry about him. She had told me how she just recently lost her 13 year-old dachshund, and she understood how hard it is to lose a dog , I was thinking in my head , her dog must of had had a lot of love and good care if it live to be 13 years old so fast-forward to today when she did the drop in visit She sent me pictures, and she sent me a “ Report Card” She told me that she took Murphy outside and then they came inside and she just sat on the couch with him, and petted him and talk to him. Well, that’s exactly what I would’ve done with my old man. I don’t have to look any further and I don’t have to interview any more people because Madeline is the one! I appreciate her sensitivity, her promptness, her pictures, and her report card Thank you, thank you so much, Madeline, you are the best and I appreciate you so much”
