“Honestly could not say better things about Rhiana. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m glad I got her as my first cat-sitter! She kept me updated everyday with pictures. My boys seemed to really like her 🥺 I expected them to be skiddish and run away, but they did not! My cats can sense when people have good intentions, and they were very trusting of her. I would definitely hire her again!”

17. Kellar C.
“Kellar took care of our 5 fish tanks, including saltwater, freshwater, and brackish, while we were away and is an amazing pet caregiver! I got great updates and photos with the daily Rover Cards. I even saved some of the photos because they were so good. Kellar seemed interested and showed enthusiasm during the meet and greet which gave me peace of mind before the sit even began. Kellar asks questions as they arise and is a good communicator. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs pet care and will definitely be requesting their services again in the future.”
