April is always the best with Louie. She has watched him many many times, she is always our go-to!

Mochi’s first overnight with April and company and he looked like he had just as much fun as he does during daycare, AND more. He snuggled with his hosts, happily played with toys and snoozed. I am so reassured when I travel that he is in the care of great people :)

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.
