Richard is great with my dog Nugget (corgi). He always shows up on time. Nugget loves him and she gets so excited for her walks. He’s very mindful of her older age and making sure she is going slower, stopping she needed, etc. Nugget loves her walks and we are so grateful Richard is able to help us out with her 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.
