“I believe this was the first time Kendra watched a cat before. I was very pleased. She contacted me when she had questions/concerns when she felt Charlie wasn't eating the way she thought he should, which is huge! This was Charlie's first experience with dogs and he seemed to settle in well. They were calm with there 1st introduction which shows that they are well socialized. After the third day there it seemed that Charlie ruled the roost tormenting the dogs...made me chuckle 😃. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“I was so nervous to leave MG alone but Rover has some great people and we are very blessed to have found out about this service.

She did so good with Valleri and im so happy that it went good. I also feel relieved MG has been able to go outside for a while and eat and drink. Thanks so much for all you do!!”
