Carol was extremely helpful in caring for Dante while we were out. She did a great job and gave Dante an excellent level of care that went beyond our expectations!

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.
