Karilou did such a great job with our girls. Traveling can be so stressful and she made sure to check in, send us photos and make sure we knew the girls were doing wonderful. We could tell when we got home that they had a great time and we will definitely book again!

Karilou was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of picture updates. We would definitely use her again to care for Luna

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.
