I never have to worry about Scooby when he is with Mercedes because I know he is in good hands, I will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Mercedes, I really appreciated the care you provided to ZiZi. Your response time and feedback were on point. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for an amazing sitter. Thanks, looking forward to the next time.

Mercedes was great. She updated me on him daily and how he was behaving or not.. I appreciated her acceptance of short notice to watch him even though he did misbehave while I was gone.

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.
