Columbia Heights West pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time having someone I didn't personally know check in on my cats, so I was a little nervous. But Keira did great, and I really appreciated the peace of mind I had from her updates. I also really appreciated that she respected my cats' personalities - giving attention to my social boy, and leaving my more standoffish boy alone. I would definitely hire her again.
Mya was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and thorough. She offered to come by and meet our kitties before we left, which was so wonderful. She was super attentive to all of our crazy cat parent concerns. She was also super communicative the whole time, and sent us lots of pictures! We have a cat that is super shy and barely comes out for friends or family, let alone strangers, but Mya got her to play and spend time with her. Will definitely be hiring her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter!
