“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”
“Andrea goes above and beyond my expectations every time she visits! I work long shifts and not only does she take great care of my girl which gives me such a peace of mind, but she went the extra mile and shoveled my walkway. Coming home after a very busy and long 24 hour shift, I was almost in tears seeing that she had shoveled for me!”

About: I’ve always had a dog since I was a child. Daily walks and bathroom breaks are all routine. I trained my last pup to sit and give his paw, he could even switch to left paw :) I only take care of one dog at a time to keep things less stressful and so your pup can get all the attention they deserve. I’m currently the caretaker of my family’s property while they’re away on vacation. They brought our dog, Duke, with them, so I have the house to myself with a ton of free time.

There’s an indoor pool for any swimmers and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. I live on a dead end, so there is no through traffic.
“Nicolina did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation! Our cat sometimes has accidents outside the litter box when we are away and Nicolina had no issues cleaning it up. She also vacuumed around the litter box! She was even able to water our outdoor plants while we were away. Nicolina did an amazing job and we will definitely use her again!”
“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”

Gardner cat parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor was absolutely wonderful while taking care of our cats, Smokey and Maple, during our time away. From the start, she was incredibly caring and communicative. She even arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, which gave my wife and me great peace of mind knowing our cats would be comfortable and in good hands. During her three check-ins, Taylor was timely and consistent, and she kept us updated every step of the way. She sent thoughtful updates along with pictures of Smokey and Maple, which truly meant a lot to us. It was clear from both her messages and the photos that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone nearby to check in on our cats.
