Clare was a great sitter! We have very young dogs and they can be difficult at times but she always had a positive attitude and I trusted her to take great care of them. She checked in and gave updates as often as we had asked. We will 100% be booking Clare again!

Clare took such good care of Penny while we were on vacation. She kept us informed really well and sent lots of photos. She was easy to communicate with and we would trust her any time!

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.
