“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.
“Maya took great care of our Luna! She’s carefully followed the directions left for her and wrote a very detailed note after her drop in. Hopefully we’ll be able to book Maya again soon!”
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊
Barkley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Cassandra was such a huge help for a drop-in on my shy boy Apollo. My boyfriend and I decided to take a last minute weekend trip and she was super quick to respond and willing to feed him on such short notice! We didn’t have enough time for a meet and greet and Apollo ended up coming out for some attention on the second day, which really warmed our hearts considering they hadn’t met before. Will definitely be booking Cassandra in the future!
Rhiannon took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town. She made sure to spend time playing with our cat and gave him treats and attention, and even went out of her way to clean after he threw up. Rhiannon also sent many wonderful photos from each check-in visit which helped put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs!
