Scout had the best time with Charissa and her family. Would absolutely ask her to care for Scout again!

Cherissa and her family were wonderful watching our new rescue dog for our wedding weekend! We were nervous to leave her for the first time but got so many photo and text updates and could see she was happy and taken care of. We hope to continue to work with Cherissa in the future and can’t recommend her enough.

I was so anxious about our Sadie's first time away from us but Cherissa and her family really eased our minds. So many beautiful and pictures of Sadie enjoying her stay. Pics on walks, eating and even a very heartwarming pic of Cherissa's sweet dog and Sadie sleeping side by side. I Highly recommend using Cherissa as your Rover sitter.
