Candyce was great! She communicates very well during the stay and her initial meet and greet was very nice and welcoming. My dog was able to walk around and get comfortable while we sat and talked about her routine and what she likes which i really appreciated.

Candyce was so easy to work with and accommodating to all Troopers needs. He seemed so happy and well cared for. Will definitely be using 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.
