Cleo seemed very happy and well cared-for when we picked her up. We will definitely use Patrice and Ricardo again!”

“Danyelle was absolutely amazing! Excellent communication and reliable. My sitter fell through and Danyelle was able to provide a seamless experience as I switched gears with her as my new sitter. She shared pictures and provided regularly communication. She technically watched him twice (two back to back weekends). Picking up my pup he had a calm demeanor and it was apparent that he had been well taken care of. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely be using her service again!”

“This was Goose's first time staying with someone from Rover, and he clearly had a great time with Geoffrey and Lizzie! Geoffrey made sure Goose had lots to do and got the exercise he needs, and he asked what our house rules are so he could maintain consistency with Goose at his place. Highly recommend Geoffrey!”

“Nelitza treated my two boys like her own! Im so glad I found her last minute as my international trip got extended, so it was quite stressful that nothing was going as planned. However, Neliztza made everything so easy and smooth for me, I was so thankful for her! 🩷 I kept having to extend the drop off time and she was able to still take care of my boys, im so appreciative of her! On top of that, she sent me update pictures of my boys very constantly! We ran out of the dog food, and she was able to pickup some food for my boys too! I would definitely use her again in the near future!!”
