Carter was fantastic! He saved me when I was in a pinch for a sitter last-minute, even coming for a meet and greet with Lady 20 minutes after contacting him. He took extremely good care of Lady and sent proactive updates and photos. I really appreciated that. When I got home, I could tell Lady was healthy and happy - and that was all I could ask for. Would 10/10 book with Carter again!

Carter is a fantastic walker! He treats my pup with so much care and understands his limitations. He gives him water breaks mid-walk and reports back with details regarding the walk and photos. He's very communicative, prompt, and respectful of my home. My pup loves him. Highly recommend!

Carter was so wonderful! Our regular folks were unavailable over the long weekend, and I was so grateful to find Carter on Rover. We had great communication, I got pics each day, and I think he quickly fell into Eva’s main character energy vibe. She was her normal happy and queen of the world self when I got home, so I know she was well cared for. Absolutely will turn to Carter again.

Carter was an amazing sitter for our anxious, older pup. They quickly made friends. Carter is very caring and we’ll definitely be booking again!

Some other details that will help me provide the best care are: your pets activity level, medical needs, behavioral quirks, dietary needs/restrictions, and emergency contact information!
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.
