Branden is the best dog and house sitter. He left the house clean and Lucy happy and well taken care of. Thanks, Branden, we look forward to using you again.

Branden was such a great communicator! Sent many pictures and updates while staying with our dogs and cat. Lots of great communication leading up to the visit also which is always appreciated in a new situation. Would work with Branden again for sure!

Brandon was great! He was able to fit us in with pretty short notice, and took wonderful care of our pets. We received multiple picture updates and our pup got a couple of walks, which was more than expected. We have a full yard and we were only gone 24 hours. So I’d say he went above and beyond. We are looking forward to working with Brandon again.

My pets immediately took to Branden and I had nothing to worry about. He spoiled my dog and was very responsive. I almost want to leave a bad review so he's more available!

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.
