“This was the first time we have actually use anyone other than family to care for our dog. Mary put both me and Taz right at ease upon meeting her. She sent me updates with pictures each visit which showed me all was well, and Taz did not seem at all stressed when we arrived home. I definitely recommend Mary’s services and we will certainly book her again if we have additional needs! Thanks, Mary!”

Rio Grande dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brooklyn was great. She was exactly what we needed for our boy, Cash. She came in, fed him and played with him for the whole half hour that she was here. She also messaged me letting know that he was OK after a day that he hadn’t been feeling well. And sent plenty of pictures to reassure us that he was doing great.
Kierstyn N. saved our butts! We were called away for business in NYC early Saturday morning. I sent requests to three sitters on Rover.com Kierstyn responded wihtin a half hour of my request and accepted. Our dogs were happy when we returned home very late that evening. I will definitely contact her again when looking for a sitter.
