“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”
“We had Emily at our home for 6 whole days watching our fu family as we went on vacation in Florida. She was nothing less than Amazing with our babies. We had such peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. She updated us daily on how they were and sent photos. She even tidied the house before leaving. I would definitely use her again for our vacations in the future. Highly recommend her and Rover.com.”
