Safety, trust & environment

I am an extremely conscientious and careful person! Your pets safety is my #1 priority. In your home I always ensure that doors are locked, sinks aren't running and any lights that weren't on when I get to your place are off when I leave.

Information Carolyn R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, if there's anything else you need me to do in our home (ie water plants), how you would like me to receive/return keys, and what time of day you need the visits.

A typical day

I like to go along with how your pet's personality or just how they're feeling that day. Whether they like to play or just sit and relax, I always want to go at your pet's pace.

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.
