I would care for cats exactly however the pet owner wishes. My cats all had the best of care. I learned how to keep them apart if they didn’t get along.

House Sitting • Aug 23, 2026

Barbara is a pure delight. I have never had anyone look after my house and cats and I heard about Rover. I saw Barbara's profile and I liked the fact she loves cats. Immediately any worries were eliminated when she arrived and we went over things and I was able to go away for a week and not worry about the cats or the house. She took wonderful care of everything and followed strict instructions about dietary needs, she's more of a cat expert than I am. I think my cats miss her! Lol. They got lots of attention if they wanted it. I would hire Barbara again in a heartbeat.

Barb has a special place in her heart for all animals, but especially cats. Since I've known her, over 10 years, she has had several cats of her own, looked after her friends' cats, and has always cared for any stray that comes to the neighbourhood. I have seen first-hand her love and care for her pets.

I’ve known Barb for 9 years, and her love for animals has always been clear. When I first met her, she had three elderly cats who were deeply loved and very well cared for. I personally pet-sat for her over the years and always saw how attentive, responsible, and gentle she was with them. I would absolutely trust her to provide compassionate and reliable care for any pet.

Barb would make an excellent pet caregiver. I have known Barb for many years and she loves all animals, insects, birds, anything alive. She even has a bug vacuum so that she can safely capture and put spiders, and all bugs in a safe place. She has a particular love for cats. She has owned numerous pets and does everything to keep them safe and healthy. Barb loves everyone's pets and welcomes them into her home. Barb would be my choice to care for my pets.
