I can attest that Alberto has exhibited good manners and courteous behavior in each of the interactions with other members of society with whom he has interacted. Likewise, I can confirm his high ethical values that are reflected in his daily actions, he is an excellent worker who fully fulfills the tasks entrusted to him and is a responsible and productive member of society. For these and many other reasons that I will gladly communicate to you if you consider necessary, it is a privilege for me to give my most complete and thorough personal recommendation. I know, without a doubt, wherever he is, he will leave his own good name and mine very high. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information or data.”


13. Kylee E.
“It is super comforting to know our two kitties received amazing care from Kylee while we were away for a few days. Both of our cats really liked her and that is a wonderful feeling too. We will definitely book with her whenever life takes us away from our kitties.”


14. Deanna M.

“Deanna is absolutely wonderful. She is so caring and personable and my pup, Toby just absolutely adores her and her little 10yo dog Nicco! Could not separate Toby and Nicco from each other and Toby gravitated to Deanna all the time forgetting I was even around or came to pick him up. Deanna's partner also loves animals and loves Toby. Toby sat on his feet even every time he or Deanna sat down. Very refreshing, their home and yard are perfect for dogs and cats and they really love and care for them as if they are theirs. Even let Toby sleep with them too. So funny and cute. Deanna is very willing to work with you and your schedule and you just need to be fair and keep in communication with her. Glad she became part of the Rover team, our favorite people Sheri and Jim in Lakeland and their beloved 14yo lab Charlotte, moved away a year ago and Toby and I greatly missed them. So happy to welcome Deanna here in Lakeland now with Rover for quite a few months; just had not looked or found her until end of February. She is the best.”


15. Ruverlyn M.

“Ruverlyn is a really nice, capable, and accommodating doggy daycare provider. We appreciated the many sweet things she did to help us & make our puppy comfortable in her home.”


16. Jose Z.

“Jose was great. We did the daycare option for our elderly fur baby. He ensured that she was in a space where she would be comfortable. Jose took her for walks and sent pictures and videos of her. Also, Jose communicated any changes in the stay. I appreciated that he alerted me to 2 dogs that would be joining that evening in advance of our arrival. I’m always nervous to leave my baby with someone new but Jose is the exactly the type of person I hope for when I do.”
