“Ana is the best sitter I've ever booked on Rover for my cat Romo! She is incredibly thorough and shared so many pictures, updates, etc. She went above and beyond to provide the best possible care for him. I am definitely planning on booking her again if she is available for any future pet sitting needs. She's the best!!”

About: I've taken care of cats since I was little. I have experience of 21 years taking care of my cat but I also have experience with drop in visits for my friends and neighbors cats. No litterbox scare me ! I'm currently working full time in the call center. I have time on the morning before work and afternoon after 5pm. Currently I can't have a cat due to my living accomodations and that's why I would love to help other cat lovers to take care of their cats I know that each cat is different. I always try to read characters of the cats I'm taking care of and I'm always careful with doors to prevent any unauthorized cat field trips.

“Meghan is an exceptional young lady. She cared for My Furbaby Mochi, while away w family. My Cat is spoon fed, and asked if she would be able to do the same for him. W no hesitation it was not an issue. She sent pics thru Rover ,(feeding him) and keeping me updated as a great courtesy. On top of it, responded practically immediately ,to a text of mine during an afternoon when she I’m sure she was busy. Meghan arrived punctual every scheduled visit and at the end left a wholesome note on how great everything went. I seen her to be very respectful, responsible and kind. I would highly recommend her. And will rebook if I need a sitter. Thank you Meghan. -Mochi”

“Kimmy is a dream come true when it comes to helping out with pets! She cares about animals more than anything else in life. As a decade long friend, she has helped me above and beyond with my fosters, who at times have been very difficult. She’s the first person I call to ask for advice regarding my pets and their needs. As a foster mom herself, willing to take in any stray at any given time, she is AMAZING! Her heart is dedicated to animals more than I’ve witnessed in any other human. Kim has a unique and special gift of understanding what any pup needs. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pet, as I have been.”
