My dogs appeared to have a great time at her house. I'm sure they got plenty of exercise in her beautiful and spacious fenced in back yard. Even when one of my dogs got aggresive, she handled it very calmly and communicated with us about it well.

Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.

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.
