Kara was AMAZING with Wrigley, she was always on time and went above and beyond to make sure Wrigley had a wonderful walk and play time. Wrigley can’t wait to see Kara again!

Kara was great! She communicated the exact right amount - allowing me to enjoy my trip with the peace of mind my cat was well cared for at home. My cat is the “temperamental cat” type, and she handled this with ease. I appreciate the flexibility and kindness she extended to both my cat and I. Would recommend and deeply appreciated.

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.
