Safety, trust & environment

I am very interested in keeping your pets safe and happy, and no one knows them better than their people. I follow all guidelines and rules VERY closely and love detailed instructions!

Information Scout M. would like to know about your pet

It helps to know ahead of time if they have a routine they like to stick to, if they're trained to follow any helpful commands, if they prefer a certain kind of reward (playing outside versus a puzzle versus treats). Never feel that you've put down too much detail, I will read it all!

A typical day

We'll play games, go for walks, and see the sights! I am just as happy to snuggle on the couch, watch a good movie or show, and enjoy some snacks with them ?

I was a bit nervous as this was my first time using Rover. My dogs had not been left in the care of someone they didn't already know well before. Scout took great care of them. One of my senior dogs has started to struggle with accidents. Harmony had an accident and Scout notified me immediately and took care of it.

Scout took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We had no concerns while we were away because we knew she was being cared for. Will definitely contact Scout again if visits are needed.

Scout did a great job with our babies! She came and met them before booking, was timely with the drop-in’s and took some great photo. We will be booking her again!

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.
