1. Christine J.
“Christine was great with my dog Murphy! We did a quick meet and greet prior to my trip and once on the trip she sent photos and updates of how he was doing. She was super flexible with pickup time and Murphy seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
2. Lauren S.
“Lauren is amazing. She sent so many videos and pics and provided tons of info to keep us from worrying about the pup while we were away. Loki made so many friends and was well taken care of. Will be using again. Thanks Lauren and Bentley!!!”
3. Alyce P.
“Alyce gave Jenny a great stay. Regular photos and periodic updates. Nice back yard and open spaces so she could do her dog thing outside, but lots of love in the house. It almost seemed like Jenny didn’t want to come home; practically a family member in Alyce’s home after three nights. Would recommend and plan to use Alyce’s Rover services again.”

20. Jennifer G.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful in fulfilling a last minute request to watch my puppy. She was very accommodating and sent lots of pics, so I was never worried.
