Susan is so kind and patient. She house sat for me when I left for a trip and I was so comfortable knowing my dog was with her. She also responded to a last minute text to help my dog and make sure he wasn’t stuck inside all day. I’m very grateful for her

Susan was absolutely fantastic with our sweet but very shy cat!!! We recommend Susan highly for her care and experience not just in catsitting but also in taking care of our house for 5 days. She made our cat feel comfortable and gave her the space and reassurances to feel safe. From the photo evidence, they were soon friends! Susan was great at communicating with us daily via texts and we received pics and video updates everyday. We felt both relieved and confident that our cat was in safe hands with someone as conscientious and capable as Susan. We will definitely book Susan again!

Susan helped us out last minute and was great with our dog. Our dog needs medication at strict times and Susan was very accommodating to that schedule. Would definitely book her 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.
