7. Tina P.
“Our very first rover experience turned out to be a great one. Tina took care of Ace for a week (80+ lbs Goldendoodle) just like her own pet. Tine was very professional and polite. Tina sent continuous updates, pictures and videos every day. Ace wasn’t feeling well when we dropped him off, Tina helped to take him to the vet, cook him fresh food, gave medicines etc. (so nice of her). We will not be looking out for anyone else on Rover as long as Tina’s available. It was a very very great experience for us and Ace loved her. We would highly recommend Tina for Rover stays. P.S: Tina is a REAL dog lover.”

“I can't say enough good things here about Derek. He helped me out of a huge pinch when I needed a sitter the most. My other two sitters had plans due to the holiday and Derek was able to accomodate at the last minute. He gave very clear instructions on where to bring my dog to introduce to his, and right away they were happy and playing in the back. I got pics and videos later that evening and pickup the next day was seemless. I would trust my dog anytime with him and his family, nothing but a positive experience the whole time.”
