“I would highly recommend Taya for dog sitting. My 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer mix, Trudie, gets anxious when I leave her with anyone, but Taya and her dog Leo were so kind and caring, which made me (and Trudie!) feel so much better about it. She sent pictures, and was very responsive to my texts. Overall, it was a very good experience.”
“Brianna's profile met all what we desired in a sitter; location, a family, large fenced yard, has always worked from home and years of experience with dogs. Once we had our meet-and-greet, there was no doubt, Brianna was a good choice for both of us.”

“Once again, Katlynn and her family took great care of our dog. They treat him like family and give him all the love and care he needs. She’s responsive and gives plenty of updates and pictures. We will continue to use her when we need care!”

“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”

“Lily, our 1 yr old golden stayed overnight with Kasey he dog Gracie and 3 cats. She had a great time as Kasey was welcoming and provided excellent care for her. Kasey also has a large fenced yard so lily had a lot of apace to explore. I’m super comfortable with Kasey and plan to have lily stay with her for several days while on vacation.”

“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”

“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”

“Tony is an EXCEPTIONAL sitter! He is a kind and caring person. He gave us frequent and detailed updates on our dog and took him for as many walks as our dog wanted. Tony lets pets on furniture, which is made us feel comfortable. Gover was happy with him and enjoyed his time away from us. We definitely trust him with our dog kid and of course, he will be our to-go person for future trips.”

“Kelli is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving our dog since he has some separation anxiety, but Kelli was fantastic. Her regular updates put me at ease and Mooshu loved running around her big yard! Would 100% recommend Kelli and her services.”

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”

“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”

“Alice is awesome. She was attentive, and also sent daily pics and updates, which was greatly appreciated. She made our first time using Rover a good one, we hope to be able to book with Alice again. Thank you :)”

“Melissa took such good care of my Ziggy while I was away for work. She was kind, flexible (with my travel schedule/delays), and communicative during his stay. I could tell Ziggy really enjoyed himself. Thanks Melissa!”


“It’s always a pleasure working with JoAnn and Michael. My dog is very comfortable there and I know she will be safe. I get updates and pictures. It’s wonderful knowing that I have a reliable place for my dog when I take a vacation.”

“Olivia was AWESOME! She sent daily updates with pictures! She took great care of our beloved dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will definitely use her again.”

“Rishi did a great job, watching Asher. He communicated with us daily and sent great pictures and videos, so my son could see he was doing well and happy. I had no problem or issues with his care.”

“Jasmine did a spectacular job taking care of our kitties! She was sweet and very communicative! I felt at peace on our trip knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much!!”

“Taya was outstanding! I could see the 'boys' change from the initial stand offish to enjoying her arrival and playtime with the daily videos. Being in England it was comforting to know they were being well cared for. We will be using Taya for all our future trips.”

“We’re so grateful for her taking care of our two cats! She‘s wonderful at helping our shy cats feel safe and loved while we’re traveling. Highly recommend her services”


“Anna is my go-to for animal care drop ins. She is so great at forming a bond with my cat. Athena loves her!! Always so communicative and it shows that she has a passion for animals.”


“DeEtte did a wonderful job taking care of Finn for us. She met us ahead of time to go over his routine and schedule, and during the visit took great care of our boy! He was very happy and we were too. Highly recommend DeEtte and will be using her regularly!”


“We always feel so much more at ease being on vacation when Alex is checking on our cat babies. He sends photos and lets us know how they are doing. Our one cat can be fussy about where she eats and we know that Alex will move her plate so she can have her solo moment. We appreciate the care and attention he provides.”
“Excellent care. Cat warmed up well and got many pictures and videos of playing and petting, as well as assurance the living space was still clean. Would recommend!”

Friends and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with rescue and senior animals, understanding the patience and special care they often need. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifetime of dedication, calm demeanor, and deep compassion for animals of all ages and backgrounds. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part-time as a nanny for my nephew, but I still have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends for visits, walks, or check-ins. I’m happy to help keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for companionship or a walk around the neighborhood, I will provide attentive, trustworthy care in a loving environment that helps your pet feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up on a farm and we always had dogs and cats as well as other pets. I love snuggling with animals and helping them feel comfortable while their families are on vacation I have been retired almost a year and would like to do this as a way to keep busy and earn some extra income. I am available most anytime. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. They will be well cared for and very happy until their family returns home.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and understand the importance of feeling comfortable when you have to leave them. I currently have 2 dogs that are 12 and 2.5 years old . I am available for drop- ins on the weekend and after 3:30 pm Monday-Friday. I would be able to stop by around 3:30 pm Monday -Friday. I have more availability on the weekends. At this time I am only offering drop in services. I am very detail oriented and want to keep the pets on their normal schedule to ensure a less stressful experience for them. I would ensure that the duties asked of me are completed as instructed.
“Donna is fantastic with our 1yr old doberman. We are still doing alot of training with him and it's great knowing that Donna has the same knowledge of training and its being applied while hes in her care. It's also comforting to know that she's use to the large breed dogs and isn't intimidated by them and treats him like her own.”

About: Ive been a dog lover since I was little and have been pet sitting for family and friends ever since I’ve been able to drive, working with all sizes and breeds! Ive been required to walk, feed, play with and even give medication to some dogs I’ve worked with who have anxiety and depression. I’m currently working pool so I only have to work 3 days a month and even when working I would only be 15 minutes away so I could easily check in. I have a large fenced in yard and 4 loving dogs to keep your furbaby company while here :) and two large crates that can easily be set up if needed. We also have about 10 different trails that span across our 7 acres of land that we enjoy taking our dogs for walks on.
“Very responsive to our requests and leaves great notes about how our furbabies behaved and acted during his check-ins. We always know our girls will be in good hands!”


About: I grew up around pets. I am very active & can be energetic with your pet. I can play & run (if needed). I love to be around and to spend time with animals. I am very aware of how to take care of an animal. I can spend a good bit of time taking care of them as long as it fits into my schedule! I am flexible with my visits and can come multiple times a day if my schedule doesn’t conflict that day. I work full time, but I have flexibility with having to be in the office so I am able to work with most pet schedules. I also don’t work on the weekends and am usually in town. I can play with pets for hours or just be there to make sure they’re taken care of if they’re more of a shy and/or lazy breed.
“Nadia was a joy to work with. Very professional. She kept us informed on the days events. Sent pics & videos of her interaction with our kitty's! Put my mind at ease, since I've never left my 2 year old cats alone. Plus she maintained security of my shop & belongings. I would highly recommend Nadia. We will always request her. If your looking for someone that is on top of their game + trustworthy, its Nadia”

About: I have grown up around animals, mostly dogs. My family and I have been dog sitting my whole life. My father is allergic to dogs and cats so I dog sat for any family or friends who asked to get my doggie fix. Now,I am a proud dog mom to 3 lovely pups. They each have their own personalities and needs. Freya, our 8 month old Pit/Bulldog mix gives me experience in training as well as socializing dogs. Thor, our 6 year old Shepard/Lab mix has seperation anxiety, he gives me experience in creating a bond and trust. Loki, our other 6 year old Shepard/Lab mix is reactive towards strangers, human and canine. He has given me experience in how to create a safe space for him, build his confidence and trust in others. I am a newlywed that changed job rolls at my current employer. I work 4am to Noon, that leaves my afternoons open to work. I am looking for part-time work with flexible hours. I find routine and consistency are key for our pets, I try to maintain the routine you have set in your home. I am comfortable training, crating and most importantly snuggling your pets.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have always loved caring for them. From playful kittens to shy or older cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality and deserves patience, comfort, and lots of love while their owners are away.

“Taya was the best! I am so happy I found the best sitter for my dog. She was so flexible especially with respect to the pick up and drop off timings which was very important for me. She also sent pictures and videos during the stay regularly. I will definitely approach her for any future boarding of my dog and I will highly recommend her to others too.”

“Larry was excellent and very accommodating to my last minute request for doggy daycare. My puppy was very well taken care of and enjoyed her day playing with Larry's dog. I won't hesitate to book with Larry again!”

“Victoria and Rishi took incredible care of my Mimosa, I would recommend them to anyone looking for sitters who will go above and beyond for their clients, Mimosa was so calm and rested when I picked her up and she seemed relaxed and comfortable in their care. Absolutely best sitters in the Spokane area!!! Thanks Guys!!!”
“The best!! my lila had a great time, i would recommend using shawnia a million times. communicated very well and kept me updated throughout the day. My girl had a blast and we will definitely be back.”

“Brianna has watched my puppy a few times and naturally, as puppies can be, she was pretty hyper and crazy, but Brianna did such a great job with her and my puppy was so happy when I went to pick her up! She’s very kind and I’ll definitely be using her again?”

“Kelli took care of both of our Labradors for a long, snowy day, and she was wonderful! Great communication and fun photos, and our dogs were so well cared for. It is so reassuring to leave our pups with someone who has so much experience caring for dogs.”

“We took our mini goldendoodle, Louie, for a daycare day with Kasey. He settled right in after a very warm welcome. I received pics and videos throughout the day. Louie came home exhausted which tells me he had a great play day! We will definitely book again!”

“She took on my temperamental old man, and he came home happy! She gave me updates and pictures through the stay, which I really appreciated. Will definitely book again!”

About: I am a retired registered nurse with a lifetime of caring for people. I have always had pets but, sadly, mine passed away recently. So, I look forward to sharing love to your pet! . Now that I am retired I have the time to spend each day showering your fur baby with love. I also like the exercise it gives when taking them for a walk. I am available all day to devote to your pet. I look forward to playing g outside with them. This is perfect activity for me and for your pet. I have an area off the garage that is fenced in for safety. I also have a big yard that allows us to play outside and a perfect area to walk your dog downtown in our little village.

About: I have been around animals most of my life and currently care for several dogs of my own on our 20-acre farm just outside Hastings, Michigan. Dogs staying with me are treated like part of the family and live in a home environment rather than a kennel setting. Because I have experience managing multiple dogs at once, I understand pack behavior, supervision, feeding routines, and how to safely separate dogs when needed. I also have fenced areas, pasture space, and wooded land where dogs can safely explore and exercise. My goal is to provide a calm, safe place where dogs can run, play, relax, and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I provide home-style dog daycare on our peaceful 20-acre farm just outside Hastings, Michigan. Because I care for dogs from home, I am able to supervise them throughout the day. Dogs enjoy time indoors with the family as well as supervised outdoor playtime on the property. I keep daycare small (maximum of 8 guest dogs) so every dog receives attention, exercise, and a calm environment. Dogs spend their day playing, exploring, relaxing, and socializing with the pack. Dogs in my care stay in a home environment rather than a kennel facility. They spend time indoors with the family and also enjoy supervised outdoor time on our farm, including fenced areas and open space to explore. Safety is very important, so I carefully monitor interactions between dogs and separate them if needed. Dogs may be crated briefly during feeding or rest times to prevent food aggression and allow quiet breaks. I limit daycare to a small group to keep the environment safe and manageable.
About: Hi there! We're Sandy & Brad (& 16yo daughter, Clara) from Snowy River Farm in Freeport, MI. Our family has provided trusted pet & farm sitting service in the Kent, Barry & Ionia County areas for 6+ years. We've always had animals around whether it be dogs, cats, chickens, or sheep! We are a homeschooling family and we also work from home. Someone is almost always here! We're available to board dogs anytime we're not on vacation ourselves! We promise to treat your pet like family here at Snowy River Farm! Your pet will have the lower walkout level of the home to themselves. Brad works from home on that same level and we are all around very often. Our own small dogs will stay on a separate floor and not co-mingle your pet (unless specifically agreed by both parties). We can crate your dog(s) if that's your preference. Otherwise, a comfy chair with a blankie is just fine! ;-) *We prefer to do meet & greets first for everyone's benefit. Each dog we care for gets patient, loving, one-on-one attention tailored just for them. We’ll keep you connected with daily photo updates and little stories from their stay. If you want a sitter who treats your dog like family—offering room to roam, a peaceful farm setting, and plenty of cuddles—we’d love to welcome them into our home.
“Melissa went above and beyond while taking care of my dog Amaya. She is an excellent caring person. I was nervous about the process because it is my first time on Rover. She helped me so much and put my mind at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Jessica was outstanding!! I was pretty nervous leaving our girls because it was the first time we’ve done that and she was a rockstar. She was super attentive, present, and caring. It was obvious that they were safe and cared for and played with. She sent regular updates and the girls had a blast! They came home and fell right asleep. I can’t believe I was ever nervous. Will definitely get her help again and recommend everyone to do the same!”

About: I work from home and would love to hangout with your pets! I’ve always had pets in the home from cats to birds to dogs. Right now I have a ten year old cat who is in remission from diabetes so I’m trained in injections and medications. My dogs back in Texas are pit bulls so I’m used to large lovable doggies :) I work from home so pets don’t go unattended and always have someone to hangout with. I am free most weekends and my significant other is also home to help out with high energy pups. :) I have walking trails around my apartment and wooded areas out back. My partner and I love to go on walks when weather permitting and would love to take your furry friend with us.
“Deb is a true gem! She took such excellent care of my two little dogs and they came home after both days with her with happy faces and tired bodies from playing. My shy girl, Clover even snuggled and took a nap at her house! AMAZING sitter, highly recommend Deb. She has a house designed for pups and a beautiful, peaceful and huge backyard. She's home most of the time and just treats your dogs with genuine love and sweetness. I am moving too far to use her services again, but sad to say so, because our experience with her was just absolutely perfect. There may be sitters in the Battle Creek area that charge less, but having tried them with very mixed results - I assure you Deb is worth every penny!”

About: I have always had animals every since I was young, from cats and dogs, to fish and hamsters. As soon as I moved out I got two cats, later on I met my now husband who had two dogs, growing our family. Animals bring me joy and comfort, I have pet sitted family friends pets, neighbors chickens, and I have also worked in pet retail where I grew my knowledge in animal care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I’ve always had animals of my own. I’m currently unemployed, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, care, and companionship they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I believe everything starts with communication and understanding each pet’s normal routine, preferences, and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for by keeping feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions consistent with what they’re used to at home. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos when needed, so they can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while respecting both the pet and the client’s home.
About: Most recent rescued our newest addition Nyla (grey pit) to our family from an abusive situation. She has been amazing with our other dog and both cats! September 2022 we rescued 4 new born kitten that was left outside in a box in the cold. I have taken care of animals since I was 7. I recently rescued a feral cat and helped domesticate her into the sweetest house cat that isn’t afraid of other animals or people! I have house sat, walked, bathed, and feed animals for clients, neighbors, friends, and family which all had animals at the time! I work 12 hour shifts at my main job 3 to 5 days a week and if you are open to the times on the days I work I would be more than happy to care for your animals! I am renting so unfortunately I cannot animal sit at my house and I can house sit upon request but not staying the night because I love and would miss my house with my animals and spouse.

“I would highly recommend Taya for dog sitting. My 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer mix, Trudie, gets anxious when I leave her with anyone, but Taya and her dog Leo were so kind and caring, which made me (and Trudie!) feel so much better about it. She sent pictures, and was very responsive to my texts. Overall, it was a very good experience.”

Tony lets pets on furniture, which is made us feel comfortable. Gover was happy with him and enjoyed his time away from us. We definitely trust him with our dog kid and of course, he will be our to-go person for future trips.”

“Kelli is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving our dog since he has some separation anxiety, but Kelli was fantastic. Her regular updates put me at ease and Mooshu loved running around her big yard! Would 100% recommend Kelli and her services.”

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”

“Alice is awesome. She was attentive, and also sent daily pics and updates, which was greatly appreciated. She made our first time using Rover a good one, we hope to be able to book with Alice again. Thank you :)”

“Olivia was AWESOME! She sent daily updates with pictures! She took great care of our beloved dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will definitely use her again.”

“Shadow has stayed with Brooke several times over the Summer. The most recent was this past weekend when I had an unexpected death in my family. Brooke and her husband, Ben, have told us that they enjoy having him, and they were very kind to take him without much notice this time. When I dropped Shadow off, Ben came out on the porch and Shadow ran right to him with his tail wagging! This was a great testimony from Shadow because he sometimes wants nothing to do with other men. When Brooke sends pictures of Shadow stretched out, relaxed and happy on their living room floor, I know that he is feeling extremely comfortable and happy. This always means so much, particularly this weekend when I was dealing with a very stressful family situation. I know that Shadow is always getting the best care and a lot of love from Brooke, Ben and Tobi and Buddy. He is actually going back again in a couple of days for a 5-day stay that has been planned for a while. Once again I will be able to feel relaxed and not worry about him while I'm gone. Thank you so much Brooke and Ben!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a pet care specialist and foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so my schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.
“Very friendly and accommodating. Bindi is a very lively puppy and, as far as I can tell, Suraya was very understanding of this. Bindi was not stressed when I picked her up which is much appreciated.”

“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”

About: I've grown up with spayed/unspayed dogs, tiny and medium sized, and have bathed them throughout the years. I'm less experienced with cats as I wasn't allowed one as a kid, but I would always play with and look after my friends' cats when I got the chance 😸 I'm currently a student at Michigan State University, with a part time job as an ice hockey referee. I am usually home 18 hours out of the day most of the days of the week! I live alone in an apartment on an upper floor. 650 sq. ft of space, so it's spacious. There is also an outdoor yard if needed. Caring for your pets will give me breaks between studying and homework! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, and making your pets happy will make me happy! 😊
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
