18. Griffin C.
“I feel so fortunate to have found Griffin on the Rover website. First time I have ever had to use someone to watch any of my dogs in 36 years, so it was a huge decision that I did not take lightly. From the pre-visit I knew he would be great. Griffin took care of Willow like she was his own. He was so caring & compassionate & knew what she needed and when she needed it. I really feel he went way above and beyond my wishes for her well-being, being a senior dog of 14.10 yrs. She ate wonderfully and took her meds orally for him without any issues, which meant she was happy, strong and healthy while we were away for the week. We could not be more pleased with Griffin’s extraordinary care and commitment to our little Willow. We will not hesitate to ask specifically for him in the future, if the need ever arises again. Thank you Rover, for including Griffin on your staff.”
19. Maureen B.
“Maureen did an excellent job taking care of our Sassie cat again! She is thorough and detail oriented and always does what's best for our kitty. Maureen is smart and sensitive and knows just how to treat our cat and and our cat really likes her. We appreciate how conscientious Maureen is and will absolutely book her again!”
