Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somonauk
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Susan. She is so incredibly kind and caring. Maggie absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s also been super flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciate. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Maggie is in such good hands. We highly recommend Susan 😊
Lauren did a great job of caring for my babies. She even made an extra trip back later in the evening when I thought I may have accidentally locked one of my babies in the bathroom. She kept the letter boxes very clean so I didn’t have to come home to litter box odors. As usual, my kitties took a while to warm up to her but, with patience, she won them over.
