“This is our first time utilizing Rover to board our pug Yoshi, who is 12. Susana ensured that we received pictures and short videos of Yoshi through the day and while/after he had his dinner. She was very responsive when we asked questions such if ate all his food, was drinking water and he was sleeping through the night. We felt very comfortable with Susana and this helped with the stress of leaving our senior dog while we were on vacation. We are so happy to have found Susana to take care of Yoshi. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
