“I would highly recommend Habun because was so good with my dog, Bear. He has separation anxiety and she did everything she could to keep him comfortable. I got updates frequently and communication was great which helped keep my anxiety and worry down. I really didn't have any worries at all. We will book again.”

“Amy was absolutely amazing! This was our first Rover experience, and she truly set the bar high. From the start, her communication was great and she was incredibly accommodating by willing to meet us last minute for a quick meet and greet. Her fenced-in backyard was perfect for Rico to run and play, and we loved how many photo updates she sent us throughout the day. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs and their well-being.
