Richard was absolutely amazing with my doggies! He also provided helpful tips on how to manage my dog that doesnt do well with other dogs when were on walks. It was nice experience leaving my dogs and not having to worry if they were in good care.

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.
