“Valerie did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away for our wedding. She was responsive and we were able to relax knowing that they were in good hands. Will definitely have her watch them next time we are out of town!”
“Debbie was a thoughtful and caring sitter for our two cats. Was so great to not have to worry about them at all while we were out of town with Debbie checking in! Highly recommend her if you need a reliable and considerate person to watch over your pets!”
“Molly is definitely a cat-lover. I asked Molly to come three times a day while I was gone, which is a big request, and she happily did it. She played with my cats every time and took great care of them. One of my cats is very shy and hates visitors, but Molly did great with her. She was very responsive to texts and left me detailed notes about each visit with tons of pictures. I will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer did such a good job. Followed all instructions for caring for my cat Maggie making my trip that much easier. I appreciate the reliability that she displayed with her daily visits and online reports.”
About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!
“Joann has checked on my kitties multiple times now and I highly recommend her care! She is patient, attentive, and flexible—I never worry how things are going when we are away.”
“Jaden was such an amazing choice for my cat Oliver. Oliver warmed up to Jaden so fast, and I received detailed reports while I was away for a week. Jaden made me feel so comfortable and confident that Oliver was in great hands and I received some of the cutest pictures while I was gone. Definitely recommend!!! :)”
“Michael is wonderful! Our cat has to be pilled manually every day and is very attention hungry. Michael spent quality time with her and pilled her daily while we were out of town. He also took lots of pictures.”
“Riley is the sweetest! Great at communicating and very thorough and sweet. Provided great updates for our sweet cat throughout the weekend. Will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”
“Was very commutative, and left a well detailed report card. And attached cute photos of my cat. August was very attentive to my cat and was able to proved helpful information when I asked to keep an eye out for breathing that may be asthma. August had knowledge of asthma within cats and because of this was able to keep an eye out for my issues in regards to this.”
Merriam cat parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah did an excellent job in caring for my cat & the outside ferals that show up @ feeding time. Hannah communicated & kept things seamlessly going while I was away. She is a wonderful, caring person that I am fortunate to have taking care of the kitties and have already booked her for another visit!
Katie is phenomenal. She takes great pictures of our cat and provides good detail as to what she did with him and how he behaved, ate, etc. She’s very accommodating and professional and is frankly the best Rover I have ever booked. Would strongly recommend.
Jennifer and Micah are exceptional pet sitters. It's very apparent how much they care and love the animals they're tending - good communication, daily pictures and updates - I trust them to take great care of my kitties so I can relax enough to go on a much-needed vacation! My cats are very comfortable around them and get plenty of quality attention. I highly recommend!
