“Kristin very quickly became a new best friend of our recent 8yr old rescue, Poppy. She keeps is reliable and assisting us with potty training going out and ringing the bell. Poppy is excited to see Kristin and let's Kristin know wheat she needs. Today, 6/9, Poppy wanted to walk longer and Kristin accommodated it. We are happy to have Kristin as an extension to our family and appreciate all she does.”
“Our kitties loves Nicholas and it was so comforting to know that they were being well-cared for. He is such a zen person and remarkably kind. Even my shy girl made “friends” and he spent a good amount of time with them. My sick kitty got her medication and was in good condition when we got home. We were so happy seeing how much better they were compared to previous trips. Will definitely be using Nicholas again in the future!”

“Lynn Nicole was amazing and A+++. She took such great care of our two kitties during our long trip. Ensuring our kitties were well taken care of initially caused me some stress but after meeting Lynn Nicole we knew they would be in good hands and all of that stress melted away. She is responsible, genuine, friendly and kind and pays a great attention to details. And most importantly, she loves animals and our kitties immediately took to her during our meet and greet. And we loved her daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend Lynn Nicole!!”

Oakhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney is amazing. My Banjo is a sweetheart but comes with issues, and Courtney was so attentive & patient with him. He wasn’t eating but she figured out a way to get him to! She kept me up to date on everything with Banjo & even shared photos. You can clearly tell Courtney doesn’t do this just for the money, she cares about animals and treated my Banjo like he was her own. I came home to an acting normal not stressed out dog and that’s all thanks to Courtney. I absolutely recommend her.
