Leah was amazing! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Sent lots of photos and updates throughout our trip, so we always knew our pup was happy. It was clear he was well cared for, and the updates made us feel completely comfortable. Our dog also got along great with her dog, which was an added bonus. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter

Leah was able to watch Remi last minute when we were out of town for the weekend -- I so appreciated how communicative and friendly she was! Highly recommend her as a sitter and we will definitely be booking her again.

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.
