This was our 1st experience with Rover and everything was perfect! We contacted Alexis 2 days before we needed a day care for Little Bear and she responded immediately. We had our meet and greet with everyone including her 2 dogs at a nearby dog park. She agreed to have Little Bear the next day when we visited an attraction that didn't allow dogs. We were away for the set time of our request. The pictures Alexis were great. We could see Little Bear enjoyed himself (and took his nap). Thanks Alexis for making this 1st experience a great one!

Alexis warmly welcomed Cocoa into her home and provided frequent updates. She asked thoughtful questions and shared her observations. Cocoa was very relaxed when I picked her up. We will return. Highly recommend.
