“My very first time utilizing Rover service providers. I’m so thrilled and pleased with the care that Christine provided. Our initial meet & great definitely eased my anxiety and Marlee took to her right away. Christine provided updates and photos during Marlee’s stay. I could see from the pics that Marlee was enjoying her time and blended well with the other dogs present. Definitely plan to board w/ Christine again. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby and easing her separation anxiety.”

16. Nelly M.
“Nelitza was great and a lifesaver! I have never boarded my fur baby before but was in desperate need of someone since I had upcoming travel. I didn’t want to take Pasha to these larger pet hotels or boarders out of fear from other’s experiences. I researched Rover and found Nelitza. We did an initial video chat so we could meet, I see her home, and so that she can meet Pasha. I thought that was professional, especially with her suggesting it. Nelitza provided pictures and videos while I was away and was responsive to me via chat. I would definitely book Nelitza again and recommend her to others!”
