I had a great experience with our Rover sitter! He was incredibly flexible with drop off and pick up times, which made everything so much easier. Throughout the stay, he sent pictures of Barley, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how much fun he was having. When Barley came home, he was happy (and totally exhausted!) from what was clearly an exciting and well cared for weekend. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
