Candice took really great care of our dog while away. She also gave our dog her medication and treats. We know our dog enjoyed our time with her.

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.
