Snick and Butters seemed to be really happy with Christy. She brushed and played with them every visit! Definitely will use her again!

My fiance and I can’t say enough good things about Christy! She, her family, and her sweet dogs welcomed Mila like she was part of their pack. It made me so happy to see how comfortable and at home Mila was while we were away. Christy went out of her way to keep us updated with photos and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. You can just tell she has such a big heart for animals, and Mila truly felt loved and cared for every step of the way. We’re so grateful to have found Christy—she’s simply amazing!

This was our first time using Rover and oh boy were we nervous but i talked with Christy for a a little bit before booking and felt 100% more comfortable. We have a 6 month old husky mix and she loved her stay. She had so much fun. Our dog will 100% being staying again. I know for a fact Harley was well taken care of no questions asked.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
