Skylar has done an awesome job taking care of Pebbles. She’s a great communicator and has taken the time to get to know my girl.

Skyler took wonderful care of our dog Franklin while we were away for a spring break trip. Frank got along great with their dog, and came back healthy and happy! Would highly recommend!

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.
