Debbie was an absolute lifesaver. She was watching my sweet dog/companion while I was out of state and I encountered a life threatening medical emergency which required hospitalization and I had to have an emergency C-section with baby having a lengthy NICU stay. My world felt shattered and the most uncertain it ever had. Debbie offered to help me get through this period watching my sweet dog and although it feels crushing to have to leave a dog unexpectedly for so long I can focus on my recovery and the baby because of her offer. She has gone above and beyond to help me and I can never express the full depth of my gratitude.

Our dog had a lovely stay with Debbie and Rosie! Debbie communicated quickly and seemed to easily accommodate our dog’s needs. We will definitely be using Debbie again!

We’ve booked Debbie multiple times, and each time we have been absolutely thrilled. Our pup loves to stay with her!

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.
