As a first-time Rover user, I was nervous about leaving our rescue dog with someone new. She's very shy and easily scared around people outside our immediate family, so I wasn’t sure how she would adjust to a sitter’s home—especially with kids. We tried a few short drop-in visits at other homes, but she just wasn’t comfortable. With an international trip coming up, we had to keep trying—and that’s when we met Stephanie and her wonderful family. Right away, my dog warmed up to Stephanie and her two kids. I could tell she felt safe and more at ease than she ever had with others. It was a huge relief, and we decided to move forward. Stephanie updated us every day with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. After just two days, our dog was sleeping on the nanny's bed! By the end of the 7-day stay, she looked so happy and relaxed. When we came to pick her up, she actually barked at us at first—she didn’t recognize us right away! That’s how well cared for and loved she felt during her time with Stephanie. I can't recommend Stephanie enough. She treated our dog like family and helped turn a stressful situation into a beautiful one. We’ll absolutely be back!
