Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!

Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.

Just came home after our first time using Rover for our 8 year old puppy, who is a ball of energy. Marshe was awesome! She is so nice and a great communicator. Cosmo really liked her too! He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀

Katelyn was super flexible in watching my pup Ran’na last minute. Ran’na takes time to warm up to strangers but loved Katelyn immediately! I will definitely be rebooking Katelyn next time I need someone to keep Ran’na company.

Nicole is our go-to sitter and has been incredible with our pup Titus. She makes a huge effort to play with him (a very active Corgi) to get all his energy out, and we can tell Titus always has a fantastic time with her. We appreciate all the photos and videos too! Would highly recommend Nicole to any other pet owners.

LaShauna was an incredible find, helping us with our two Senior dogs and our cat during the Holidays. She took excellent care of them and made sure we were updated frequently. She sent pictures and even made some fun videos of them that we shared with family during the Holidays. She also took great care of our house. We will definitely use LaShauna again. Our dogs/cat will be happy to see her again.
