Pet care experience

Experienced Sitter and Volunteer.

Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. I have hands-on experience with both domesticated animals (including exotic pets) and wildlife, and I currently share my home with four pets of my own, which means I truly understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust.

I was nervous to use Rover for a week, but Cate was very communicative and professional. She took great care of my baby kitty and sent several photos as well :) thanks so much for:)

Cate was everything a pet owner could want. She was responsible, respectful and responsive. A delightful experience from our initial "getting to know you and your pet" visit to her daily check in communications. We hardily recommend her and will engage her with our next trip out of town.
