Merissa was prompt and responsive in the arrangement period. She took good care of my cat and sent photos with every update. I'd use her services 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.
