Donna was a wonderful caretaker and would definitely recommend! She took excellent care of our pup giving me peace of mind while I was traveling. I also received great pictures daily. 10/10!

Donna did a great job with Ethel. We got daily pictures and updates, she walked her frequently and Ethel came home happy and well taken care of.

Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.

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.
