Cat Sitting in Swanton

Shylynn did a great job of watching our cat while we were gone for a few days. She was easy to work with and great at keeping in touch and sharing updates with us. Our cat required some eye drops for a few days while we were gone and Shylynn was able to wrangle our cat and administer the drops. Would definitely use Shylynn again!

Jasmine was easy to communicate with! Our cat is quite shy and warmed up to Jasmine quickly. Most importantly she’s reliable. We’ll definitely be booking her again.

Chutku seems well taken care of and a happy fellow. He was clearly left in good hands!

We LOVE Melanie! As former pet sitters ourselves, our standards are pretty high— none of the other Rover sitters we’d tried in the past had quite met them until Melanie! We unexpectedly had to delay our trip by a day because we got sick. Melanie promptly accommodated this change and sent along such a thoughtful message. We knew right away we were dealing with a true professional! Melanie’s attentiveness stood out right from our meet-and-greet.  She didn't just ask what our cats' favorite toys were—she asked how they each liked to play with their toys. We showed Melanie our cat Plum's exercise wheel and mentioned that her favorite way to use it is with someone jogging alongside her. We never expected a sitter to adopt our silly little routine, but Melanie jogged next to her at every visit! It was no surprise to hear that Plum was greeting Melanie at the door and rubbing against her for pets by the end of our time away. Our other cat, Lyra, is a little more wary of new people, but Melanie is extremely well versed in cat body language and boundaries, and took that into account when interacting with the less-trusting Lyra. Even if Lyra wasn’t fully on board with the whole “new person” idea, she still chose to hang out nearby Melanie at all of her visits, which told us she felt safe. As anxious pet owners, we like updates that are as detailed as possible with lots of pictures. Melanie delivered in spades, providing sweet and thoughtful visit summaries with 25+ photos per visit. Her summaries went beyond the basic tasks of the visit— she let us know how our cats greeted her, how much they were eating, if they wanted pets, what toys they played with, and her sense how our babies were doing overall. Most importantly, she let us know they were LOVED. We look forward to hiring Melanie again soon!

Fuliang did an excellent job carrying for my car while I was out of town. He arrived timely, sent pictures & updates, and responded to all my inquiries. I would recommend using him for any cat sitting job, and will ask him again for another time.

Matisse is reliable, flexible and responsive. Highly recommend her.

Darya was wonderful with my two cats. She visited daily and posted photos and notes. I would definitely hire her again next time.

Michele goes above and beyond watching over my boys (two cats). Even my shy cat comes out to greet her! I’m able to actually enjoy my vacations knowing Michele is around sending cute photos

Sara did a great job for their first drop-in engagement with Leo and Phoebe. They followed directions well, including play time, administering medication, feeding, litter box hygiene and sending me updates. They were easy to communicate with and helped to transition Leo to new food and medication while I was out of town. I will be rebooking them. Thanks Sara!

Once again, Emma was an absolute joy. So responsive and communicative, and handled my major auto feeder mistake with grace. My cats love her and her photos are hilarious.

Tillana always goes above and beyond when caring for my cats. When she is caring for my cats, I always know they will be loved and well taken care of. I especially love how she sends lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her
