Natalie was very professional and reliable, and helped me feel at ease during my travels by providing helpful updates and photos of my cat. I appreciated that she also included photos of the freshly scooped litter box, and my cat eating. We have a confusing mailbox situation here and unlike previous sitters who took in packages that weren't for me without asking, she checked in to make sure she did it right! My cat warmed up well to Natalie, and I would totally hire her again.

Before we begin, I’d love to learn a few key things: – Does your dog have any leash reactivity or sensitivities around other dogs, people, or children? – Are there specific cues, routines, or calming tools that work well for them? – Any medical needs or habits I should be aware of? The more I know, the better I can tailor each visit to your companion’s comfort and emotional safety. 🐾
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.
