Susan was amazing for our timid cat. I knew upon first meeting her that she would be perfect. Our cat warmed up to her, which hasn’t happened with other sitter’s. She sent lots of pictures and the communication was great. I didn’t worry at all. Hire her, you won’t be sorry!

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.
