Sally took such great care of our crew! She sent updates to let us know how everyone was doing and our house was pristine when we returned. We will definitely reach out to Sally again!

We have 4 little dogs that have never stayed with anyone but family on just a couple occasion in our house. I felt that at least the dogs knew them but I noticed things that were just not something that I was interested in coming home to any longer. The house was always completely a mess and I am actually not sure that much was done besides that at night they slept with the dog's. I decided that I was pretty much giving money away and decided to try Rover.com. I basically signed on and I remember just seeing Sally's picture and I just really can't explain the feeling but I knew I wanted her to be our dogs sitter in our home. I later went back on Rover.com and noticed that there were tons of people with tons of 5 star reviews but I was just really interested in Sally. We spoke on the phone or should I say I spoke way to much for her to say much. We decided that we should meet her in our home and see how our 4 little guy's would be around her and vice versa. Well Sally showed up and my dog's wound not be my dog's if they didn't bark when they heard the door. They continue for a bit till they are told to be quiet a few times. The moment Sally came in it was a very great time for not only our 4 little dogs but I instantly had a connection as my husband also did. We had her over a couple more times and basically to visit at this point but I just never imagined leaving my dog's with anyone I basically met a week prior. I didn't even have that feeling once we just started talking. I think that Sally has a way to communicate with dogs like I have never seen. We were gone for 2 nights and the break was nice but of course I missed my little boys. Once we got home I thought we possibly had the wrong house because the dogs that were left with Sally were not the same dogs that we came home too. I believe that she has taught them so much in 2 days that I would love to hire her full time. Unfortunately we can't afford that or there would be no doubt that she would be our personal doggy nanny. My 4 little barkers 3 little yorkies and 1 little maltipoo are still minding us better and I have learned buy the way Sally talked to them with a gentle voice that they actually mind me more. I am with them almost every minute of the day 7 days a week and I noticed that I would get so frustrated and yell and they just continued. Well the last couple day's I am going to say that everyone is happier and I have learned to speak not yell and they are absolutely just making life so much more enjoyable. We love our dogs and they have everything they need . They have a wonderful veterinarian and everything a dog would want besides a mom that had zero control. Sally is amazing and she has not only taught my dog's some amazing things but she has definitely helped me to finally understand that I have been doing everything that I thought was right not even close. I am happy to say that Sally will be watching our dogs everytime we need a sitter and I am thinking of hiring her to come once a week or once every other to help me with her talent and possibly teach them some new tricks 😀

Sally is super sweet and so amazing! I had a cancellation for someone watching my dog for Christmas, and Sally was available with only a week notice. She came and spent the night with my pup, she loved on my dog, left my home clean, and even made Ollie some eggs and bacon for breakfast, his favorite! I will definitely be looking to book Sally for any future dog sitting needs.
