Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs at home and started volunteering at the local shelter as a teen. I fostered for several years before adopting my first fur baby, so I’ve had experience with a wide range of sizes, personalities, and health issues. In the past I’ve relied on Rover sitters while traveling and working longer hours, so I understand how important it is to have the peace of mind that your pets are being cared for by someone trustworthy and reliable. Communication and pictures are a must!

Allison walked my dog while I was on vacation and she was incredibly professional, prompt, and my dog loved seeing her and walking with her! She left me notes, pictures, and checked in and out in the app for every walk. I had no worries that my dog was being well taken care of for each visit.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
