Cat Sitting in West 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.

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

Kayly was a kitten magnet. He was comfortable with her instantly. She cared for my kitten with love and care. She followed my instructions well, including giving him his pills. We will book her again!

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 wonderful with our cat. She was extremely attentive to her care instructions and even asked some questions I wouldn’t have thought to address. She sent great pictures to show that the cat was happy, healthy, and well looked after. I would not hesitate to request for her help again.

Elise gave great regular updates while she checked in on my cat while I was gone. Her questions and info gave me the confidence to not have to worry while away, and I returned home to a happy cat and tidy food and litter areas. I'll definitely look to book Elise again next time.

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!

Amanda is wonderful!! She followed all instructions, and was very attentive to my cat scare while I was away. She shared photos and updates, and gave my fur baby lots of love and affection. Highly recommend Amanda!

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!

Christina did a wonderful job! Our cat can be very shy so the fact that she let her pet her the first time they met must mean Christina is an absolute natural! I also appreciate how much time she spent with our kitty.

Jessi did a great job taking care of our cats, even when the cats didn't make it easy. She was also flexible when our flight was canceled and we had to change our plans. Thanks so much!

Teodora is absolutely the best! She really took great care of our cats while we were away and I had a wonderful vacation knowing that she was taking care of them. She also visited with our mother and listened to her stories, which speaks volumes about a person's character. Teodora loves animals and some of my feral cats let her get close to them. That also says a lot about a person when a feral cat lets them in! She is a hard worker and my mother enjoyed all the conversations they had when she came to take care of them. There is nothing Teodora will not do for your beloved pets. I highly recommend her because she is the best and will hire her whenever I need someone caring and loving to take care of my babies! We all, cats included, just adore Teodora! We are so lucky and blessed to have found her!
