Hailey was amazing! We really missed our cats on our trip and Hailey sent multiple pictures everyday. We were so excited to see them playing and snuggling with her each day. Hailey provided a variety of activities for the cats, including playing with different toys and providing stimulation like opening the windows. We really appreciated her help!
I made a mistake with my booking dates, and he stepped in right away and covered without hesitation. Communication was clear and consistent the entire time, and I received plenty of photos that gave me peace of mind. He was attentive and conscientious with my pets. Highly recommend.
Lily was wonderful with Honey and Cali. It was our first time booking through rover and she eased the nerves of having someone else take care of our girls. They loved her so much and it gives us peace of mind to know she is someone we can rely on now! Thank you, Lily!
Jeffrey was amazing with our Bella! Made sure to come out and meet Bella prior to the booked dates and made sure to know everything about Bella that he needed to know. He even taught Bella a new trick! I recommend Jeffrey and will book with him in the future if needed :)
