Caitlin went above and beyond while taking care of my cat during my week-long trip. My cat was a bit difficult during the first visit, but Caitlin immediately communicated with me to come up with solutions so the following visits would go more smoothly. She genuinely cares about animals and wanted the best for my cat despite his rowdy behavior. Her communication, patience, and dedication made this one of the best Rover experiences I’ve ever had, even with the initial challenges. I would 100% hire Caitlin again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

Caitlin was fantastic! Her communication was great the entire time, and it was so nice getting photos during every single visit. The cats were incredibly happy and well-cared for—she even won over Yeti, who can usually be pretty suspicious and independent! Highly recommend booking her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
