Cat Sitting in McLean

Barb, The Relief Every Pet Owner Needs Over the years, I grew increasingly scared to leave my 3 cats in a stranger's care. If needed I always drove them to my parents but it became clear that the roadtrip stressed them out more than if I had just left them at home and had a stranger come by the house. As a 1st time Rover user, Barb was a perfect find! She made the whole process unbelievably breezy. She very punctual to the meet and greet she set up the same day I sent my request. I ran her through the cat's litter and feeding schedule and already felt good about her. Immediately after this meet and greet, she sent me a screenshot of the notes she took afterwards which were notes on the food/water/litter instructions we had discussed for the brief meet. This really sealed it for me; not only did Barb exhibit great memory recall but also great attention to detail which is certainly needed in pet care. I had Barb check in twice a day for my 3 cats for a total of 9 days. She is very punctual to the times discussed and an expert with sending photos of furry loved ones to ease anxieties. She also made sure I was made aware of any event that occurred immediately in the Rover Card for that very check-in time. When responding to her or asking her questions she was quick and attentive with her responses. One of my cats loves to escape and is a bit of a "queen of the house" type of cat so she gets a bit protective of "her home" and after giving Barb some tips and tricks in what we do, my cat became calmer and more accepting of Barb as more check-ins occurred. They grew closer towards the end which is a testament of Barb's personality and care qualities. My other 2 cats are shy ones so there was a worry that we wouldn't be able to confirm if they were eating or not. But eventually Barb's calm and gentle presence coaxed them out enough to be spotted for a food grab or a hydration stop every now and then. Overall, having Barb as a first time Rover sitter and first time pet sitter was a perfect match and I feel lucky to have had her watching over my pets.

Kayly. Took excellent care of Kenji! We came home to find him as playful as usual, like we never left. Kayly is our only choice for caring for our kitten.

Reona was great with my cat, Giza! I would absolutely re book with her!

One of our normally low maintenance cats decided to throw up a few times, eventually leading to a few hairballs. Elise was so kind and caring to both clean up the multiple messes and keep me well informed on the kitty’s behavior surrounding this. Both cats are very comfortable with her, and she is an excellent caregiver.

Elizabeth was great with Kirby . She kept me up to date on the visit with pictures and texts. She also did extra house work on top of it, washing the dishes. I will definitely use her again!!

Tricia was perfect! She really went above and beyond to take good care of my cats while I was away. I didn’t worry about them once while I was gone, which is honestly a first for me. I hope to always be able to book her in the future!

Amanda did an amazing job, always keeping me in the loop of how they were doing and making sure they were well taken care of!! Incredibly flexible and reliable. I’ve used her for the past 2 months and will continue to do so!

Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!

Victoria was amazing! I needed someone last minute for drop-in visits with my cat during a work trip, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive from the start. She made the whole process so much less stressful and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated the updates, reliability, and genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Teodora was great with my two cats--she went above and beyond in playing with them and caring for them and sent a bunch of great photos so that I could almost feel like I was home!
