Darius was reliable and accommodating! He really made being away from my dog not feel like a worry.

Darius is great: reliable, consistent, communicative and caring. We have been using him to care for our two large dogs for the last year (drop-in visits and boarding at his home). We love recommending him!

This is the third time Darius walked Arie while we were away for a trip. She looked so happy and well taken care of in the daily photos sent, as well as when we got home. We highly recommend.

Darius was so kind to me and my pets. He was great at keeping them comfortable and happy and was open to any questions or specific care instructions I had. Appreciate your assistance!

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.
