Pet care experience

Cat lover / Cat mom

As a long-time cat owner, I know how hard it can be to find sitters who specialize in cats! While I'm happy to care for dogs and other pets too, I'm especially excited about taking care of your kitties. I'm good with shy cats as well as friendly ones. I can play with your furry friends, brush them, or just sit there and chill near them, whatever they prefer!

I will treat your home with respect while taking care of your pets. I am happy to do light pet-related cleaning while I'm there such as cleaning and changing litter boxes and cleaning up food and other messes.

This was my 1st time using a home service like Rover to care for my sweet Maine Coon. I was nervous but Daphne did a great job. We had a pre-meeting prior to my vacation and that went very well. DAPHNE got a chance to meet my Willow and we got a chance to meet her and go over all our routines. I was gone for two weeks and DAPHNE communicated every day with a brief update on how the visit went and how willow was doing and she took pictures and sent them every day as well. I could tell that my baby was happy and content and that made being away from her for an extended time much easier. DAPHNE‘s a great communicator and the daily updates/pics made this experience a good one and I would definitely use her again the next time i’m in need of a sitter for Willow! Thank you, DAPHNE.👍🏼

Daphne was my very first cat sitter for my cat, Callie. She was on time for the meet and greet and showed up for the days scheduled. She did an excellent job with caring for the needs of Callie and took very cute photos! I will most definitely hire her again!

I highly recommend Daphne Daugherty as an exceptional pet sitter. She has cared for my pets on multiple occasions, and I have always been impressed by her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Daphne goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are not only safe and well-cared-for but also happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time playing and cuddling, she treats my pets as if they were her own. Communication is another one of Daphne’s strong suits—I always receive timely updates, photos, and notes that give me peace of mind while I’m away. I know I can travel or be away from home without worrying, knowing that my fur babies are in the best hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daphne to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. Your pets will be lucky to have her!

Daphne is great with pets! She is caring, communicates frequently, and has a lot of pet experience (especially with cats). She has worked with cats of all varieties, including short-hair, long-hair, special needs, and shy/skittish kitties. I would gladly leave her to care for any of my pets.

Schedule

As a teacher, I’m busy during the middle of the day during the school year, but I am generally available in the mornings and evenings and can do weekends as well. I commute a decent way to and from work, so your house will just become part of that commute!

Cats
Daphne can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know about special needs and any personality quirks I can accommodate. I’m good with shy or antisocial cats (I have one myself!), but let me know if yours will prefer to be left alone or if I should try to befriend them!
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.
