“Kayla did an exceptional job taking care of our dogs and keeping us up-to-date on their behavior and welfare. We had not used a pet-sitting service before and were very happy with the care and enthusiasm Kayla showed on her visits to our home. She followed our instructions to the letter and went above and beyond our expectations in making friends with our dogs. We will definitely use rover.com again, because we know they were much happier at home than confined to a kennel at the veterinary clinic.”
