Lara was fantastic. We were out of town when our other sitter was unable to care for our animals. We reached out to Lara and she responded immediately, coming to our rescue. Great communication, updates and care provided. Will only use Lara in the future.

Lara was a great communicator throughout the whole process. She sent photos of our pups who we were missing and spent time playing and walking them. Very professionally and kind! First time using Rover; would definitely use again and rehire Lara!

Lara is the best! Our little crew was so calm when we returned home, including our scaredy cat. Knowing our cats were getting great attention makes vacation even better, and she has a great sense of humor too. Thank you for being awesome, we hope you’ll have us again in the future! ❤️

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

If your dog or cat has any special preferences or needs, let me know so I can be sure to come prepared to give the best care possible. Things like behaviors you're working on, medications, allergies, or fears.
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.
