Kathleen was an amazing sitter. She loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her staying and watching Maisie and Wilma. She was very fast with communication and kept us updated when we were away. We would highly recommend and will use her services again!

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.
