Even in the snow he makes the drive up the mountain to walk my best friend! Simply the best!

This was our first time leaving our Aussie since we got him 2 years ago. Marc was reassuring and we felt comfortable going to France for two weeks. Our dog is very active and it seemed clear that Marc might not be able to provide him with serious exercise. Fortunately a good friend who is a runner offered to run with our dog and did so frequently. Marc brought his own dog, a sweet girl named Shayna. The two dogs became friends immediately. We are grateful for Marc’s help however next time, we will emphasize our wish not to leave the dogs alone longer than 6 hours. We understand from two neighbors that on several occasions the dogs stayed alone for longer periods.

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.
