“First time using this Rover app..and David ended up being a great first pick. He was very helpful in explaining how the app worked. We worked out all the details at the meet and greet. And everything turned out great! I was a little apprehensive of leaving my dogs at home with someone i just met... and they normally go everywhere with me..but unfortunately I was moving out of my second apartment and couldn't bring them with. David assured me they would be fine and he sent a texted me at each visit and even sent a pic (confirmation that they were still alive..lol) Which did put my mind at ease. He did a great job! I would definitely call on him again, if need be. Thanks!”
“One of my pups was having a rough time, Marin was super supportive and cared for my girl. We were able to find a better set up for my pup and was only bc Marin was so kind and amazing. Not sure what I would’ve done. Thank you!! Can’t appreciate her enough!”
“Desiree was wonderful with Odie. She sent updates and photos and even gave him a bath that she didn’t have to. Odie was happy and healthy when I picked him up ten days later. Strongly encourage others to use this person when in need of a loving home when you need to find a place for your dog.”
About: I grew up always having multiple dogs in the house; every size and multiple different breeds from a little Chihuahua to a large Mastiff.
