Ryan & Michelle were great for Cooper. He had plenty of space to play and came home tuckered out from a fun change of scenery. I got regular updates and they took special care to wash out Coopers eye when he encountered some extra pollen or allergen while playing.

I had a different rover sitter cancel last minute. Ryan and Michelle stepped up to save the day. Puppers seems happy! Would use again since I'd rather have reliability over cheap.

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.
