We have used Erica for a couple of years now, and HIGHLY recommend her. She and her family have always taken such good care of our pups. They seem to love them as their own. I literally can not say enough great things about them!

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.
