Tara was kind and informative letting me know how good my puppy was doing with words and pictures making me feel safe that my dog was being taken care of while I was away and would definitely use her again

This was the first time I'd used Rover, so you can imagine I was a bit nervous. After meeting Tara, I felt like I was making the right choice for Chelsea (my Maltese) and Bella (long-haired Cat). Tara sent me updates throughout the day which put my mind at ease. I was happy to find both Bella and Chelsea doing well. I also know Tara did a great job because Chelsea was not at all anxious when I arrived home. In the past, she's been uneasy when left with someone who did not care for her correctly. Would 100% recommend Tara to anyone :)
