“My partner and I are first time Rover users and I am so thankful to have had Megan drop in for our two cats for six days. Long story short, Megan is good at what she does and made our vacation worry-free knowing our kitties were under her attentive care. Our older cat recently had some medical difficulties and she was very knowledgeable about medication administration with our older cat and kept him calm, safe, and well medicated during our vacation. Our younger cat had some behavioral issues and she was communicative and very professional in dealing with negative cat behavior previously unknown to us. She took good care of our little stinker and was great at problem solving. PS: she took some excellent model shots of our cats and that was always a joy to see. 🥰 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“Amelia did great watching my boy Jude! He has some pretty significant special needs, and she did great being conscious of his environment and care, administering his inhaler, and giving him his meals. Thank you, Amelia!”
“Jordyn was a terrific cat sitter for us when we were out of town for an extended period of time. She is dedicated, responsible, punctual, and great at communicating any questions or issues that arrive. Our cat loves her! We would hire her again with no hesitation!”
About: As a long-time cat owner, I know how hard it can be to find sitters who specialize in cats! While I'm happy to care for dogs and other pets too, I'm especially excited about taking care of your kitties. I'm good with shy cats as well as friendly ones. I can play with your furry friends or just sit there and chill near them, whatever they prefer! As a teacher, I'm off during the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am generally available any time after 10 am and can do weekends as well. I will treat your home with respect while taking care of your pets. I am happy to do light pet-related cleaning while I'm there such as cleaning and changing litter boxes and cleaning up food and other messes.
“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
