“Kateri was fantastic checking in on my cats! Very reliable to be there when she said she would be and spent plenty of time playing with them and giving them attention. She was great about sending lots of pictures during each visit too, which I appreciate. I’ll definitely book with her again in future!”
“I am very happy to have chosen Christiana to take care of my kitties over the weekend. It was my first time leaving them alone but I believe they had a really good time. Christiana came to meet them a couple of days before and I could feel that she truly cared about cats and animals in general. I have already booked her for another weekend. I would like to recommend her to the Rover community!”
“She sent pictures everyday and my cats were fed and happy. When I came home after a week they didn’t seem stressed at all, which they would if I had left them alone for a weekend. Would rebook with her!”
“Bethany was amazing! I felt great knowing she was checking in on my cat for the 3 and a half weeks I was on vk. I ended up extending my trip by 4 days and she had no issues being able to add that to her schedule. She sent updates and photos every drop in and even brought her own laser pointer to play with Captain! Highly recommended Bethany and will be using again if out of town for a long duration again. 😊”
“Leslie took very good care of my two kitties for a week, dropping in twice daily to feed and interact a bit with them while I was gone. She sent pics daily too, as well as brining in the mail and even going the extra mile to do a bit of watering on the back patio per my request. I would highly recommend Leslie!”
“Madalyn did a great job with my 2 cats! She helped me when I needed someone extremely last minute, sent me numerous updates with pictures and videos, and helped me feel so at ease! I would absolutely use her again 🐾❤️”
“Lilly was a great, attentive sitter. Our earliest comminications showed enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the well being of my pet. All of her questions were thoughtful and demonstrated her knowledge of how to care for pets. When I was gone, her check ins were always thorough.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. During my childhood I’ve had 3 energetic pitbulls and a senior cockapoo. I am super comfortable with all sorts of dogs and I know how to deal with the chaos they come with! I am currently working part time, so I have much time to take care of your pet! I am mostly available before 5pm on weekdays or before 4pm on weekends if I am working, but on other days I am completely free! I will be attentive to your dog/cat and their needs! I will make they use the bathroom multiple times during my visit, and they are entertained! I would love to chill with your pet!
About: A lifelong animal lover with a Zoology degree from Kent State (graduation - May 2024). Previous experience as a kennel/animal boarding assistant and veterinary assistant while in school. Also a member of a non-profit organization at school that involved dog walking and sitting. Currently work in the oncology department at a veterinary speciality clinic with dog and cat hands on experience every day! I currently work full time Monday-Friday (7:00 -4:00). I am available weeknights and weekends for drop-in appointments and walks. I am available anytime for pet-sitting. With my experience in different veterinary clinics and environments, I feel I have a good grasp on animal behaviors and how to approach and care for different animals based on their needs. As part of my daily job, I handle animals and feel comfortable making it a safe experience for both me and your pet.
“This was Christabel’s second time sitting for my cats. I appreciate her meeting me ahead of the sit to receive the keys and discuss recent changes to my cats’ care. I will definitely check her calendar for any future trips!”
