I hired Colin to drop in on my cat once a day for a week. I noticed the litter box had not been properly cleaned and at least two or more days of pet waste had accumulated. There was unflushed solid waste (poop) in the toilet. As a consequence of her litter box not being cleaned, the cat peed outside of the box. So I had a mess to clean up. I have used Colin once before without issue but scooping the litter box is non negotiable and I will not be using him in the future.

Colin did a great job checking in on my two cats. He was responsive and easy to work with and easily gave my cat his medication.

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.
