Roxanne had a great time with Vanessa! Vanessa was so flexible (as our plans had to change with the weather). Would definitely recommend Vanessa for someone looking for a dog sitter!

My pup was very happy staying with Vanessa 🙂 I received updates and pictures throughout the stay as well which I appreciated. Would definitely book again in the future!

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.
