Sydney was great right from our meet and greet! This was our first time using an in house sitter and Rover and Sydney helped make our time away so much less stressful. Her daily updates and pictures let us know we had made the right choice and came home to happy, healthy dogs!

Sydney was INCREDIBLE! 🙌🧡 Ollie is not always the easiest dog but right from the beginning Sydney was so good and patient with him, and by the end of the stay they looked like they were best buds. Sydney not only took care of our dog but she was a real trooper and cared for a large flock of chickens as well. Sydney’s communication was top notch. We received photos and updates everyday of very happy animals. Sydney really went out of her way to make this stay happen. We were asking quite a lot of her with this being last-minute, coordinating with her work schedule, extra pet needs, and handling communication, and she went above and beyond. We are so so grateful for her and hope she can watch our animals again!

Sydney did a fantastic job watching our two dogs, Sadie and Ginger, during our trip out of town. She sent us consistent updates -- with photos -- and was very flexible in making her schedule mesh with our own needs. We will use Sydney again!

Sydney arrived at the promised time. She was great with communication and shared lots of pictures. She played outside with my dog and made sure his water bowl was full. My dog loves her. 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.
