Seemed knowledgeable but it’s a kennel environment and the dogs don’t free roam. He said my dog went out several times a day but she came home having to poop and had a huge poop then diarrhea. She seems to have been holding her poop. Also, I was disappointed in the communication. I had to reach out to see how she was doing and it would take almost a full day to hear back. I really wanted to like this rover after the positive reviews but we just didn’t have the same experience.
