I’m thankful I was able to book a last-minute sitter while I had to go out of town. This was my first time leaving my dog with a new sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous. On the first day, I reached out a couple of hours later to check on Bruno and make sure everything was okay. She mentioned that he was anxious, which I expected. The next day, I reached out around noon because I was expecting an update without having to ask. After multiple calls and texts, I finally received a response almost two hours later saying he was doing great and that pictures would be sent. That message was around 1 PM, but I didn’t receive any pictures until about 8 PM. Since this was my first time using her services, I expected better communication and more consistent updates, but that wasn’t my experience. On the last day, there was again no communication about Bruno until I reached out to let her know I’d be arriving earlier than expected because I felt uncomfortable with the lack of communication. I’m grateful that Bruno was safe and well cared for, but the communication throughout the stay was almost nonexistent.

Mara watched our Bruno with a last minute request. She was very accommodating and updated us daily for his short stay with her. I would definitely recommend her.

Again Mara did an exceptional job taking care of our pup while we were out of town and will continue to use her excellent services.

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.
