“Sugar really enjoyed her time with America and her family. They took such great care of her, and made sure I received plenty of pics and videos while I was traveling for work. I know they enjoyed having her (considering she didn't want to give her back...lol), and that makes me feel good about her being there. Will use again!!”
“In the past we’ve had terrible experiences with pet sitters and even the not so bad ones left our dog feeling slightly moody when we got back. Marisa however was completely different, our dog, Cookie, was very happy while under her care. Marisa only takes care of one dog at a time and has none of her own to worry about so your dog is going to be treated like a king. She does her best to make sure the dog is eating and tries different methods to make sure the dog eats. Our pup is quite spoiled and sometimes doesn’t eat because he’s bored of normal kibble. Marisa tried different things to make sure he ate, and he did, after she added bread and gave him wet food. Sometimes I get jealous that maybe cookie wants to run back and live with Marisa ?. Highly highly recommend Marisa, she’s been the best in the past few years we’ve been on this website”

“I was looking for a last minute sitter, and I was surprised at how quick and easy it was to get a response.

This was my first time using roover and my first time ever leaving my babies with someone outside of family. I was so nervous but Estefany made it easy for me to trust her. Highly recommend. 💙💙”
