Mountainside dog parents share their Rover experiences
ELIZABETH is AMAZING!! Our doggie Emmy Lou is a tentative anxious hound. Elizabeth was able to put her to ease in record time. It is so comforting that Emmy Lou is always so excited to see Elizabeth. She greets our dog with enthusiasm and continues a rapport with the Emmy throughout the walk and even when dropping her off. Elizabeth truly LOVES animals. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel so fortunate to have found Elizabeth because I know if we need to be away from home overnight, Emmy can board with Elizabeth and I will have have no worries!! Thank you Elizabeth! :)
