“I just realized I could write a review. Christine is awesome. She is flexible and a true “dog person”. My shepherd can be a bit protective but he loves it when Christine comes and she does exactly what the dog wants which is very comforting when my dog is at home. Christine is worth every penny and then some. I could not recommend her more!”


“While conducting the meet and greet, Mariah was studious in her note-taking of the usual care of my cat, and seemed to understand cats. This was put into action while we were gone, as I was left detailed rover-cards describing how Freyja was, and the condition of her various resources when Mariah visited. We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!”

“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. I was also especially nervous because MG is a rescue that I rescued myself and so not much information is known. So im still navigating and understanding her personality. 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!!”
