“Jennifer was great! I would definitely recommend! My pug and cat were well looked after and Jennifer was communicative daily with great pics. Appreciated Jennifer’s flexibility at short notice too.”
2. Shelby B.
“Shelby looked after our dog Jordan while on vacation. It was my first time using Rover. Shelby was great at explaining how everything works and Jordan was excited to see him every visit. We got great photos and updates the whole trip. One day our dog got anxious because of fire works and made a mess, Shelby was nice enough to clean it up upon arriving, was able to calm him down and cheer him up. Can’t wait to have Shelby visit again.”

We'll definitely be using him again!”
