Absolutely the BEST!!!! Top tier sitter!!! She took great care of my pup! She showed him love, played with him and walked him as if he was hers. She respected my home and sent pictures and videos throughout her sitting. 10/10 I highly recommend!

Kathalene was amazing! Great communication and updates on our Frankie! She is a dog lover through and through! I could tell my baby was so happy and exhausted (in a great way) lots of exercise, which is what she needs. I cannot thank her enough! Wonderful!!

Kathalene and Zeta took great care of my pup. They provided regular updates and photos while I was away, to keep me informed. They were friendly and professional.

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.
