We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog! Mark & Rachel were incredibly attentive, professional, and kept us updated with the cutest photos. This is our second time booking with them. Taco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief finding someone we can trust completely. We will definitely be booking again soon!

Rachel and Mark were fantastic with our 11 year-old dachshund. They’re super responsive, and we appreciated their scheduling time to meet with us well in advance of the reservation. They were super sweet with our little guy, sent great updates, and were very accommodating of all his little quirks. We had a great experience and would love to work with them again. Thanks guys!

Second time with Mark and Rachel now. Love that they have experience with samoyeds, because they're so high energy. Got pictures and updates every day.

Mark and Rachel took great care of Tucker while we were away for the week. They were very communicative and attentive to his needs. We felt he was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!

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.
