“Thank you!! This is the first time I have used Rover and Madeline was great! I booked her for my older parents and this is the message I got from my mom- She is great. Gave him a 15 min walk as we asked and all went . So happy you did this for us and I know we will use her in the future again.” Thank you, Madeline.”
9. Maddy J.
“Maddie went out of her way for a meet and greet with our dog before their first walk and was very accommodating fitting into what was a busy week for her! She got along great with our dog and showed up on time for their first walk. We will definitely be booking her again :)”
10. Lyndsey P.
“I highly recommend Lyndsey! Lyndsey has taken care of my two cats several times and sends me pictures often to show me how they have been. She follows exactly how I request she feeds them and ensures their water is always full. She plays with them as they would be lost without play time so when I come home, the cats are always just as happy as when I left them. Lyndsey is an amazing and reliable pet sitter!”
