Rachel agreed on very short notice- like 2 days- to drop in our senior pup, Darla. This is the second or third time Rachel has helped out with caring for her while we go out of town. Hard for old girl to travel anymore. Since the last time Rachel came by, Darla has lost her hearing and now takes an arthritis medication twice a day. Rachel was on it! Darla was hesitant at first to come out of the room, but Rachel figured it out and got our girl taken care of. Rachel is AWESOME!! Thank you so much for helping out on short notice!! ❤️

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.
