Safety, trust & environment

For new pets, I start by establishing a baseline comfort and trust. A pet owner knows their pet better than anyone, so I always honor their instructions and techniques. Some pets require more attention or service than others, and I adjust accordingly. And of course, you gotta give em some love!

Ryan was amazing! Very consistent and communicative with updates and pictures every visit. I was able to focus on travel knowing that my cats were well-cared for with confidence!

Ryan was fantastic! He took excellent care of my little guy and was fantastic about following the notes I left for him. His pictures were great too! I’ll definitely be requesting him again the next time I need a sitter and can’t recommend him enough!

Ryan was a great sitter my two cats. Very communicative, prompt and offered to come by and meet the cats ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend Ryan to others and will be reaching back out in the future.

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.
