Caitlin is one of the best fur babysitters I've had. Highly recommend her as she took great care of my babies and went above and beyond.

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.
