Candice did an excellent job boarding my dog for a long weekend. I have no complains. Will be looking to book again with her in the future.

Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!

Candice was a life-saver in accepting a last-second request to come over and walk Ahsoka. I'd be happy to rely on her again :)

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.
