12. Starla L.
“We had a trip coming up and were worried about our animals being taken care of while we were away. That’s how we came to find Rover and Starla. Starla was amazing, she did better than we had hoped and although we still worried about our animals every second of our trip, we felt immensely better knowing Starla was there looking out for them. She was great at communicating with us before our booking and got to meet everyone and helped us come up with a plan and then during our trip she always sent multiple photos of everyone and we always looked forward to reading the Rover Cards after each visit. We can’t say how grateful we are to Starla and there is not a doubt in my mind that we will book her again for our next trip!”
13. Ashley P.
“Ashley was super amazing! She is very kind and caring person! I was very grateful she was taking care of our older dog and cat. She made us feel better about leaving our animals for the night. Her pictures are great quality and show her living on them. We will rebook her any time we leave town! I have no doubt in my mind when it comes to her care!”

She came in as a drop-in and as a weekend to week-long stay as a helper for me to have my get aways. You will not go wrong by utilizing her. I promise you, she is so caring.”
