Tom and Cynthia were caring sitters for our fur baby. We met before hand to get acquainted. They shared pictures and were flexible with drop off and pick up. Thanks. Would use again.

Tom was great. Wonderful guy and super to deal with. But most importantly, the dog enjoyed being with him and was very well taken care of!

Mitzi had a wonderful day with Tom. She went on lots of walks and came home ready for a nap! :) Tom was great at communicating and making us feel comfortable.

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.
