“Elena & Paco were amazing hosts for my small dog, I got photo updates and I know he was well cared for and loved the whole time. Thank you for making his stay in NOLA feel like home, you can tell there’s a lot of love in this home. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Mike is just wonderful!!!! I left Napoleon with him for 2 weeks and I was so at ease that he was well taken care of. He sent several videos and pictures which always put a smile on my face. Napoleon is always having fun with Mike’s daschunds! I just know his physical , mental and emotional well-being are all met exceedingly! Thanks Mike!”
“Serena and AJ were amazing with Cookie!! It was very relieving & comforting to know she was in such great hands while I was out of the country for a bit. Serena was always super quick to respond, flexible, and I loved getting all the photo and video updates! 10/10 would recommend & I would definitely book again with her!”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“Regina is amazing! My dog is very very skittish and usually needs a lot of time to get used to new people. I wonder how Regina could win my dog's trust so quickly! I cannot think of a better sitter than Regina!”
“WOW! What a great stay my maizy had! The pictures I got I will save for a lifetime. Filled with so many activates and great communication the entire time. I would highly recommend!!”
“My dogs were spoiled during my time away! I received daily updates and pictures/videos to prove they had a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Aja was great with my 3 month old very active pup. She is very patient and dealt with him professionally. He was happy when we picked him up. She sent very regular updates and pictures which I much appreciate. You are made aware of everything and can go ahead with your day assured that your pet is in a safe and happy care. I would send my pup back to Aja whenever there is a need again.”
“Rachel and Mike took great care of our pups! This was our first time with a new sitter and they acclimated so easily. Rachel sent us photos daily and I have a sneaking suspicion that one of our dogs didn’t want to come home haha!”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Kat and Ethan. They sent a picture of Tory to my wife and I shortly after I dropped Tory off. They continued keeping us updated throughout the four days that we were out of town. In all the pictures, Tory looks as happy as when he is with us. In short, Kat & Ethan made Tory feel like he was one of the family. He made friends with their dogs, Brady and Gus and throughout our trip, we just knew Tory was in good hands. We would recommend Kat & Ethan to anyone who wants the Best of the Best in a Dog Sitter.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with Rooster and Remi. We came to NOLA for the weekend to get married and wanted to focus on preparing for our guests and running errands. We drove 9 hours from Texas to include our pups in the ceramony. Michael put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our weekend. The dogs came home happy and tired. Michael was kind,flexible and communicated with us. We adored him and could not of dreamed of anyone else helping with our fur babies. If your looking for someone who genuinely makes a loving effort please go with Micheal, you won’t regret it. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! Xoxo The Schultzes”
“Sarah was beyond accommodating. My dog is very strong and is aggressive with other dogs. She separated her dog from ours and stayed in the room with him so he wouldn’t get lonely in a new environment. She monitored his food and water intake, and sent us twice daily reports. She set the bar so high we probably will never use another sitter again. We are spoiled just like our dog was. When we tried to leave, he tried to follow her back to her apartment.”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”
“Roxanne took such good care of our girl for a week while we were out of town. She had friends to play with and Roxanne sent us several photos and updates to keep us in the loop. We would definitely take our dog back to stay with her again!”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.

“Exceptional cat sitter; this is the first time using Rover.com and couldn’t be more impressed with how professional and caring Olivia was; extremely trustworthy, sent photos, excellent communication and my cat was perfectly cared for. I would highly recommend Olivia.”
“Kelly is the best! I’ve used her exclusively for a couple years now and she always takes great care of my boy Gene and now also my newest addition Cheezy! Gene loves her and poses for his pictures like a goof for her. She even brings in my mail, without even being asked! I never worry about the happiness and care of my pets when I’m gone knowing that Kelly is here!”
“Hanna was great. She came by to see the house and meet the cats prior to booking. She made sure to know our communication preferences and sent pictures every day. Our cats were happy when we got home! We definitely recommend Hanna for a house or pet sit!”
“This was the first time Bianca watched my cat Goose, and she was amazing! She is very trustworthy, communicative, and thoughtful. Went above and beyond! I felt very safe knowing she was watching my cat. Thank you Bianca!”
“My cat is my whole world. Aura took such great care of her while I was out of town. My cat loved her and she was super fast with communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to help with their pet.”
“Simon was a phenomenal caretaker for my guy Cornelius. Checked in and out with every visit, communicated amazingly throughout the entire time. He definitely has a knack for taking great doggo pics. Was also able to accommodate a last minute booking and extension of service due to travel delays. Highly recommend booking with him if you want someone caring about your dogs much as you do while you’re not there!”
“Caitlin is awesome! She took care of my 16-year old cat for three days. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. I definitely will ask her to cat sit Zippy again.”
“Deana was great. She sent tons of pictures and my cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly. She gave a detailed report on everything my little buddy was up to. Shes a lifesaver!”
“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a great experience with Stacy and Patrick! Stacy and Patrick did overnight stays with our cats and they truly went above and beyond. They did such a great job looking after our cats. We recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”
“Sarah was great. Flexible and courteous. She was extra attentive - working hard to find my very shy kitty in all of his hiding spots. From the closet to under the couch to under the bed to behind a curtain. Thank you for being so communicative, Sarah!”
“Anne is an excellent and communicative pet sitter! Leaving my cats while I’m away tends to make both me and my cats pretty anxious. Anne’s excellent care eliminated all anxieties (at least on my part… I can’t speak for the cats). Thank you Anne!!!”
“Eliza was great, it was comforting to know she was caring for our cats while away. She followed all instructions and communicated effectively. Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa has been a great cat sitter for us. Communicates frequently and quickly, sends reassuring updates with pics & videos, and provides good care and attention to our cat. We trust her 100% and I'm sad to be moving out of state and losing such a good sitter.”
About: I love cats and have two of my own! Growing up, I had 6 indoor/outdoor cats and I learned a lot about what it means to be a cat owner. I have done a lot of cat sitting, and as a long time cat owner I understand what is required when taking care of someone else’s cats.
“Michelle was great with my cat, Layla! She followed all the instructions given and sent daily photo updates of Layla. She responded back quickly when I messaged her asking if she could give a more thorough update on my cat’s well-being/food intake and reassured me that Layla was fine. All was well when I came back home! Thanks Michelle!”
About: I currently care for two American Shorthair cats, Rory and Luna, and I also have a friendly dog named Poopoo who gets along well with both cats and dogs. Living in a multi-pet household has given me experience understanding different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I provide attentive care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.

“Took wonderful care of our boys so we could enjoy our visit to NOLA. He was right in the French quarter so it was very convenient. Thank you so much Michael!”
“My puppy had a great time with Emily and her pets! They were all so sweet and everyday my puppy tried to drag me to the door in her excitement to see Emily and her fur babies!”
“Ashley was a true professional and made sure my dog had a well balanced day of rest, play and walking ! I am definitely planning to request more dog sitting from her!”
“Oshie was very responsive and willing to accept our reservation at the last minute. She was very flexible with our schedule as we came to town for a last minute vacation. Jaxx enjoyed his stay with her, and he felt very comfortable and at ease with her!”
“Etta was amazing! This way our first time using the app and doing a dog sitter. Etta immediately gave us a huge sense of security and reassurance that our fur baby would be in good hands the moment we met her. Being that it was a first time our dog was nervous and braked at her dogs and the neighbors; which was very unlike her. Etta was so patient, calm and kind helping both our dog and us through the process. She sent us multiple texts and photo updates throughout the day which also made my girls smile knowing Bali was in good hands. Upon our return Etta provided homemade dog artwork for the girls (made especially for them from Bali). It was such a wonderful gift to remember the day and Etta! I would highly recommend her to anyone especially a new comer like us. Thank you Etta for everything and providing a safe loving landing place for our Bali while we explored the city! Wishing you the very best!! 🤍🤍 Sara”
“10/10 would recommend, 10/10 will be a repeat customer! Rizzo had so much fun, she can’t wait to go back. Completely hassle free and painless. Rizzo loved her walks and has a another best friend!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dedicated dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As the owner of a Golden Retriever, I have hands-on daily experience with exercise needs, routines, leash walking, playtime, and providing loving attention. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy during our time together. Whether your dog is energetic and needs an active walk or prefers a slower pace, I can adjust to their needs and personality. I also understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated so you feel confident while your pet is in my care. Every boarding includes: * Personalized care based on your dog’s routine * Regular photo and video updates * Frequent walks and potty breaks * A personalized end-of-stay report summarizing your dog’s meals, walks, behavior, and overall experience Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding to help maintain a safe environment for every pet in my home. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, and every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay. My goal is to create a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Evlin was so so great with Prince. This was my first time using a sitter through rover and I'm beyond glad that all my expectations were met and more. She was super friendly and I know that Prince had a great time with her and Juicy. Prince can be somewhat finicky and I tend to get anxious leaving him in the care of others, but she made the process so easy and I had no doubt that Prince was enjoying his day care experience and being taken great care of. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, was very responsive, and you can tell she's a dog lover so I felt very safe leaving my boy in her care while I was at work. I definitely intend on using Evlin for future services and highly recommend!”
“Ellen took great care of Milo for daycare for a day. Milo seemed like he had a great time with Ellen and the other dogs. Ellen was very easy to communicate with and sent us plenty of adorable photos so we felt very comfortable leaving Milo with her. Thank you, Ellen!”
“If I could leave 10 gold stars I would! Lindsey took such good care of my very spoiled little pugs. They hate being alone and I don't think they had a moment unattended in the 5 days they spent with Lindsey. Her dog Lola sealed the deal for the pugs as they love other dogs and feel like it's a party if other furry beings are around. On the second morning we were to take the dogs to Lindsey they didn't get off the couch. As soon as we asked if they wanted to see Lola, they were immediately at the door- such a good sign! Every night we picked up happy, tired doggies. We were able to visit New Orleans without worrying about our babies. A Godsend! Thank you so much Lindsey. We so appreciate you!”
“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
About: I am now retired and have total availability. For walks or drop ins I need to keep my service area within 5-7 miles. For longer stays I am willing to expand my area upon request. I began my pet care as a child, taking home every stray dog I saw. Nursing sheep, stray cats, bunnies, you name it. I was then a vet tech, rescue foster, and sitter.

I will always care for your animal as i would my own. ( spoiled ) I have a good availability and experience with all ages of pets. Including training to elderly animals who need special care. I am comfortable administering meds, and dealing with unique or special circumstances. Finally, I am reliable. You can rest assured that your baby will be well cared for. when I house sit I will keep your place clean daily. If you desire addition plant care or whatever, just ask. I am retired. This gives me great availability to care for your pet. I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs. At times I prefer overnights at your place so as to not disturb my husband. I have a fenced yard. At your home or mine we get plenty of potty breaks, walks, and play. I only leave the house to go to the store or appts.
About: I grew up raising dogs and cats in my household. Since 2010 I've adopted pets on my own, cats and a dog. I currently have one cat I rescued as a kitten three years ago and a dog who loves to play that I rescued 2 years ago from a shelter. Im a teacher who loves spending time with pets and I enjoy the extra excitement that comes from watching little ones for those who are out of town. I love showering pets with affection and all the care they need to be joyous and safe. I love walks and play time with all my animals. Getting to help make a pet feel loved would be a perfect use of my time.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day.

“Kelly is amazing! So many thank yous for taking care of my doggo! You’ve been a huge help in keeping him happy and healthy. You’ve pivoted from dog walking to helping shuttle my little furry dude home from doggy day camp. Due to my work schedule at the hospital not allowing me to pick him up, you have become such a blessing. Thank you thank you thank you and I cannot recommend you enough!”
“A great first meeting. Hannah was on time and attentive to my concerns. My boy laid his head on her foot within minutes of meeting. I feel fortunate that Hannah is close to our place.”

“Michelle has always been prompt and thorough. She is knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to accommodate your and your pet’s needs. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Darin is a great friend to animals and goes at their speed which is important for one of our girls who is unsure of everything. He is also communicative and reliable. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Maggie S was great with Bentley! She was very receptive to any information I had to give her about him and was open to my suggestions for scheduling. Would highly recommend, I completely trust her with my fur baby”

“Bianca was great! She was so sweet and good with Louie. She showed up on time and communicated with me about how Louie’s walk went and sent the best pictures”
About: Although I’ve been sitting via Rover since November 2023, I have been house & pet-sitting for friends for many years. I have experience with very large dogs (i.e. 80+ lb German Shepherds) who are ‘dog-reactive’; walking same-residence dogs in pairs who have a large age difference; walking same-residence dogs separately due to large age difference; and multiple cats with a mix of indoor & outdoor plus indoor/outdoor hybrid. Since joining Rover, I have added quite a lot of experience with senior dogs including some who are sight and hearing impaired, as well as varying degrees of doggy dementia. Walking with dogs is genuinely one of my favorite things to do- I keep my phone pocketed during dog walks, both for safety and to simply enjoy the walk. I’m a generous belly rubber & scratcher, am content to play catch on a near infinite loop, and am a happy recipient of licks from the pooches and biscuit-making from the kitties. I work from home booking live music entertainment for events. The vast majority of my work is laptop and phone based, with occasional in-person meetings and events to drop by. When I am on a pet stay I don't go out at night socially, and I cook at home or order in. I get out most days to exercise and every couple days to grocery shop. I have a hierarchy of my approach and goals when staying with pets. First, the foundation is safety & well being. This is safe walking, a safe home, eating & sleeping normally, medications, etc. Second is comfort and routine- my goal is for your pet to not be anxious because you are away. I look for signs of anxiety and do my best to allay fears & stress. Third is a love connection- when I depart from a pet stay, I want to miss your pets in the kind of way that you do when you have to leave home. And finally, given everything else goes according to plan, the lagniappe of a great stay is that your pet experienced a ‘staycation’ - that they come to understand that my very existence is for them specifically, and maybe they get even more doted upon than they normally do, what with busy schedules and lives and such. The best sign of a great stay with your pet(s) is that when you return, while they are obviously happy to see you, they are pretty relaxed about it.
“Aura was willing to help me out on very short notice. She came to the house and met Two Bit and came back later to walk him. My job is very demanding and it gave me great comfort I Leung he would get his exercise and be cared for. He was in very capable hands with Aura.”
“Angela did a terrific job walking my dog. She was prompt and flexible with start times. She even walked him in the cold rain one day! I would definitely hire her again as a dog walker to help me out.”

“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Regina is amazing! My dog is very very skittish and usually needs a lot of time to get used to new people. I wonder how Regina could win my dog's trust so quickly! I cannot think of a better sitter than Regina!”
“WOW! What a great stay my maizy had! The pictures I got I will save for a lifetime. Filled with so many activates and great communication the entire time. I would highly recommend!!”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Kat and Ethan. They sent a picture of Tory to my wife and I shortly after I dropped Tory off. They continued keeping us updated throughout the four days that we were out of town. In all the pictures, Tory looks as happy as when he is with us. In short, Kat & Ethan made Tory feel like he was one of the family. He made friends with their dogs, Brady and Gus and throughout our trip, we just knew Tory was in good hands. We would recommend Kat & Ethan to anyone who wants the Best of the Best in a Dog Sitter.”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”
“Roxanne took such good care of our girl for a week while we were out of town. She had friends to play with and Roxanne sent us several photos and updates to keep us in the loop. We would definitely take our dog back to stay with her again!”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“Aoife had a great time staying with Rachel and Matthew. They were prompt with the communication providing pupdates over the weekend. They took a great care of our doggy, and all of her belongings also came back in excellent shape (which is not always the case with boarding). We will definitely use boarding with Rachel again, thank you!”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
“Ms. Etta is AMAZING. She treats Bronx with the best care and communicates so well. She is so knowledgeable about animals and makes sure she takes care of all furry friends in her care. I NEVER have to worry about anything when I leave my baby with her. She’s family now ❤️”
“Ben was wonderful! He was very prompt in all communications and ensured I had pictures and information about their day while we were gone! I will be using him again should the need arise! Thank you, Ben!”
“This guy was great very open and communicative and also gives advice. Great sitter will be returning. My puppy was also so happy and playful when I came to pick him up that made me feel good.”
“Anne did such an amazing job watching my dog calypso! Calypso had never spent time away from me and she had never really spent any time around other dogs, but Anne was so patient and understanding! She sent me pictures of calypso every single day and gave me updates On how she was doing! There was always someone spending time at home so calypso never had to worry about being alone! When I left calypso had horrible separation anxiety and was scared of other dogs, when I came back she was confident and her fear of other dogs was pretty much gone! I will continue to trust Anne with my puppy anytime I travel to NOLA and I definitely suggest that you do too! Thank you so much Anne!!”
“We absolutely love Beth!! This was our first time using rover and we were a bit nervous as our dog Charlie has a lot of anxiety. Beth communicated with us throughout the weekend and provided a ton of pictures and videos! She took great care of Charlie with walks, play time, and lots of snuggles. Our dog felt right at home. We can’t wait to use Beth again!”
“Canine Comradery & Intensive Care Our energetic boxer, Tess, is a “social butterfly”. Since she is an “only dog” at home, she loves staying with Emily because she gets to live with a pack of dogs, including multiple visitors sometimes. Her dogs are veteran hosts to a plethora of dogs from all walks of life. When we are out of town enjoying a different kind of living, so does Tess … at Emily’s. Our dog could not be happier with us humans than she is with MJ, Bodaycious, Baby Girl, et cetera, et cetera. In addition to the experience and hospitality that Emily and her dogs provide, I appreciate her flexible schedule, ability to give more than adequate bathroom breaks, and her history of devotion to caring for dogs that need help the most.”
“Lindsey and her family were fantastic while watching my pup. This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Lindsey sent plenty of updates/videos/pictures which really eased my anxiety. I will definitely be using Lindsey again!”
