“Sarah was so great with my cat goose, he warmed up to her immediately, and she was so great with pictures and report cards! Definitely going to rebook!”
“Lillian was great! Very friendly, had no issues with communication or the cat care itself. She sent photos each check in and I had no worries during my travel.”

Her daily photos and updates were perfect. I highly recommend her. She was super fast at communication and helped with a few things around the house that weren't expected (checked the mail, etc.). Would do business with again.”

“I couldn’t recommend Abigail enough! She helped us out by watching our pup over Thanksgiving with only a few days notice, and really made us feel comfortable during our first Rover experience. Abigail was proactive in anticipating Bug’s and our needs, like offering to meet Bug beforehand so they could get acquainted and so we could walk her through instructions and generally get to know her. She was very diligent with instructions, playful and caring with Bug, and extremely respectful of our home. We look forward to keeping in touch and will be reaching out again! 😊”

About: I can administer medicine, liquid and pills. I have a part time job at the moment, so have lots of home time! I love all pets (: It’s pretty much all integrated within my own routine. I clean the litter box every day, I have alerts for nail trimmings, flea meds, etc. A cat to keep your cat company, a very cleaned, well-maintained apartment with enrichment toys and a balcony for fresh air (if your pet is allowed).
