Sarah was such a wonderful sitter on fairly short notice for our two little dogs. One of them is elderly and takes medications, and the other is younger with high energy. She was great with both of them. She was always responsive and prompt with communication, and she sent lots of photos. Our dogs were so happy. She left the house in beautiful condition as well. We had a great experience with her.

Sarah is awesome & so obviously a dog person. She was very sweet with Rafa, and corrected him when necessary. He seemed to take to her right away and even gave her a little lick goodbye (he can be stingy with kisses). Would definitely recommend her!

Sarah replied promptly to my last-minute request for a mid-day check-in/potty break for my two dogs, and continued to communicate promptly with me as I emailed info about our home setup and their needs and possible issues. She was on time for the visit itself and sent me photos to let me all was well. I was very relieved since I had signed up with Rover the app years ago just in case I’d need it, but it was the first time I’d actually used the service and wasn’t sure how things would. But I’m very satisfied with how it all worked out!

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.
