It was great knowing my babies were in excellent hands! This was the first time I had utilized a pet sitter and the daily photo updates really helped put my mind at ease.

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.
