Kathy is very trustworthy and conscientious when it comes to your pet. Our dog was always happy to see her.

We are so grateful for Kathy and the time she spends with our cat when we travel. We are fortunate to know Kathy (and so is our cat!)!

Kathy is wonderful with our cat, Alice, who is shy sometimes. She is very responsible and respectful of our home. We appreciate how well she communicates with us while we are gone, sending lots of cute photos of Alice. It means a lot for us not to have to worry about our kitty.

Kathy is very punctual and responsive and took great care of my cat while I was away. My cat is a bit nervous with strangers but came to trust her right after the first visit! She also wrote timely and detailed reports with pictures.

The dog usually lets me know, but a heads-up about pace, (dawdler, tracker, etc.). Do they usually do their business on a regular basis - because some just don't. Are they playful, or shy, with new people?
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.
