Would always recommend Elenaor and family!”

18. Stephanie G.

“Oh my gosh - where to begin. First time using a rover for my girl Hazel. Stephanie and her family to include Gravy - her doggy - set the bar so high, she might just be my favorite for a long time. My Hazel was taken care of and Stephanie fulfilled my every request to include photo updates to set my mind at ease since it was my first time leaving my doggy. Highly recommend her - she was awesome and reasonably priced with a large backyard for plenty of playtime. Thank you Steph and family for being so awesome and treating our girl as one of your own. We will be back time and time again even for daycare drop off just so she can get a play date with Gravy, her new bestie. Highly recommend!!!!”
