Dena was great! She followed every single instruction, was prompt, reliable and communicated very well with us while we were away. She also left our home clean and in perfect order. Our dogs didn't even seem to mind that we were gone LOL! We will definitely use Dena again in the future. Thank you, Dena! :)

Dena is such a great dog sitter! Her genuine care for the well-being of our anxious dog was clear. When we picked up our dog, she was happy, smiling and looking at Dena as if she has known her forever. Thank you again!

We felt comfortable leaving our fur babies with Dena and she was very sweet sending multiple pics of their day. Was concerned about yard but everything worked out and was happy with the care she provided. She loved on them and we were pleased with her overall. Thank you for caring for our fur babies.

Always a pleasure having Dena watch Pickles. Pickles is always super excited the second we’re walking up to Dena’s door🥰

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.
