Catlin is an absolute gem! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Being from out of town to attend my daughter's wedding, I was a little stressed to find care for my dog KC. Right away at the meet and greet, Caitlin set me and KC completely at ease. She was incredibly organized, took notes and greeted KC gently. Throughout the night of the stay, she provided timely updates and photos. Knowing he was in such good, caring, and loving hands while I attended my daughter's wedding made the day completely stress-free. I can't recommend her highly enough, she will take amazing care of your dog too!
I had a friend recommend Rover, as I was leaving for Ireland for 10 days, I was struggling to find someone trustworthy to take care of my pets. From my first reach out, Teresa responded promptly and put my mind at ease. Teresa did a great job, communicated and updated me frequently, my pets loved her! We had a great trip, and had no worries, THANK YOU TERESA!!! I would have no problem recommending Teresa to anyone, she did a wonderful job!
Taylor took great care of our dog Harper. She stayed in touch throughout the weekend and sent plenty of photos. I would also say that Harper is sitting by the door waiting for her to return, even though we are back! And that’s how you know your pet was taken care of! This was our second time using Taylor and we look forward to seeing her again!
