“This was my favorite experience ever booking with Rover. The communication was clear and easy, and my dogs came home happy and tired. The environment is clean, we received regular and predictable pictures, and I felt so comfortable with the whole process. I will definitely book with Erica again!”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“First time with Elizabeth. Pups seemed happy staying with her. One of them was even dealing with an infection and she was great taking care of him. Would be happy to have them stay with her again. Only wish she sent more frequent photos, but I am obsessed with my pups!”
“Ashley is a very nice person and great to work with in setting up the sit. She was very responsive to email messages before, during, and after the sit. Ashley provided photos of our dog during her stay with her. We felt that Abby received great care during the week she stayed with Ashley. When we arrived to drop off Abby and when we picked her up, Ashley was ready for us and had everything organized. We received good feedback on the stay from Ashley and will certainly use her in the future. It was a great experience for our dog and us.”
“Our dog Niki’s stay with Elizabeth and Nick went very well. It was her first stay with them and her first occasion to spend a night without us. As a dog trainer, Elizabeth is very in tune with dogs and did a great job communicating about how Niki did during and after the stay. She was returned to us calm, clean, and smelling good. We will definitely use them again.”
“Thank you so much for watching over my dogs. Most people hear the name German Shepherd and are scared. You were very calm which helped him a lot. Will definitely recommend to book with you.”
“Tara kept our 5 month old rottie while we were out of town. He had never been around other dogs except for our 6 lbs. Schnoodle who he was much too big and rough for. She was great with our Diesel and he learned some great puppy manners while there. We will definitely book again!”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Amazing sitters! Luna loved her stay with Samatha and Tim. They sent photos and videos throughout the time Luna was there. They provided plenty of love, attention and exercise. I would highly recommend Samantha and Tim for your upcoming dog sitting needs. You will not be disappointed!!”
“Lutisa took such amazing care of my sweet girl! She kept me updated every day! She made my first Rover experience amazing. Thank you so much for everything! You definitely have a repeat client with us!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my dog overnight at a dog sitters home. I could not be more pleased with how well my dog was taken care of. Allison provided me with constant updates on how my dog was doing and sent lots of photos! I highly recommend!”
“Ellie was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about dogs. A good home and yard for dogs. I feel very comfortable about taking Molly there for our next trip. I hope they are available the next time we need card for our elderly dog.”
“Gina took great care of Henry and kept me updated with pictures and videos! Henry was so comfortable there and I could tell he was very loved! Will definitely book with Gina again!”
“Wow! Ana’s willingness to help me out of a tight spot wihen my dog’s typical boarding spot was not able to accomodate a sudden need was just the beginning of a wonderful experience! She was very understanding and compassionate with my nervousness over leaving him at a new place, and made me and my anxious dog feel relaxed and comfortable almost immediately. She sent numerous pictures and videos daily that let me know how much love he was getting and how much fun he was having with her. I cannot say enough about the incredible care she provided!”
“We found the perfect person to watch our Gracie. MARILBEL was accommodating, sweet, and a natural dog lover. Along with her dog, Molly, Maribel gave Gracie a wonderful few days. We had tried our vet's kennel and even the "luxury" pet kennels, but our dog is a "people" dog, and was definitely traumatized by those places, and it took days for her to get back to our normal dog. Putting my dog in a cage for days is NOT what we wanted. But Maribel was our answer. She loved on Gracie, played with her, texted us with pictures, and when we picked her up, she was not traumatized. She was her happy, normal dog self. We are grateful for Maribel and highly recommend her.”
About: I was that kid who would sit in the middle of a chicken coop to play with my feathery friends. Lol I must say that I connect way easier to animals than I do humans, which is something I take to high regard. You can’t fool an animal..they know who you are the minute they lay eyes on you as they show you who they are with no filters every single day. My family growing up was not too keen on pets so I settled for birds and waited for adulthood to volunteer in shelters and later getting my cat (Olivia) and then 7yrs later, my Pup, Bizzy. I don’t have much experience in administering syringe related but already have a handful of experience administering oral. I work full-time as a college admissions counselor and live 10 mins away from the school. I walk Bizzy every morning at around 7:30 - 8 am then I usually visit home during lunch, then I walk her again after coming home and feeding them dinner. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse with a baby door to use around the house, when needed. Whatever is needed of you furry companion, I will come through or let you know honestly if I can’t.

“Gabriel did a great job at looking after our kitties and following our instructions, even with construction going on in our house while we were gone! He is nice and pleasant and I thoroughly appreciated his help. We had no issues at all! Recommend booking for drop in cat visits!!”
“Laura did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were away and made the whole process smooth and comforting. I recommend her to others and plan to rebook with her in the future.”
About: I myself have a deaf and anxious pup. From her, I have learned how to navigate certain tough situations. I have had to put so much time and effort into her training and am watching her become an amazingly happy and well behaved dog (she even knows a bit of sign language!) I also lost a buddy back in July. He was 14 years old and required medication administration many times a day. With him I learned a lot about helping the old guys feel as happy and safe as possible because they are probably scared of the changes they are experiencing in their lives. I am very active and love going on long walks, so having a dog there would just be an extra bit of fun! I am currently in school but only taking a few classes. I'll have time to play with your pups in the evening especially if you need a night off but they still need a walk! I live in an apartment so leashes are crucial. I would never let my own dog off the leash, so I would never put your dog in a situation where something could go wrong. My own dog is quite reactive on the leash, so if I sense that we are approaching a person/dog/object that might trigger her reactivity I usually steer clear of it to avoid any kind of avoidable altercation. I want every dog to feel safe so i will adjust based on what your dog’s body language is telling me.
About: When you’re away, I step in to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and totally at ease—right in the comfort of their own home. 🐶🐱 ✨ I stick to their normal routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so they stay happy and stress-free. ✨ I give plenty of love and attention, whether it’s extra belly rubs or quiet cuddle time. ✨ I keep things tidy, water plants, and make sure your home feels cared for too. ✨ And of course, I send you updates and cute photos so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands! Because nothing beats the feeling of knowing your fur babies are happy at home while you’re away. 💕
“Madison was incredibly responsive, courteous and most importantly, our pup loved her. She felt calm with Madison, and I felt great knowing she was in good hands. We will definitely call Madison for help again!”
“Kory was absolutely amazing. Always on time and always on top of everything that was needed for our animals. He communicated everything extremely well and sent lots of pictures.”
“As always, Matthew goes above and beyond what is asked of him. His interaction with our kitty is excellent, even when jasper wakes him up at 3 AM. Matthew is attentive to jasper and our home, which is much appreciated. He's terrific!”
About: I have been taking care of my wonderful cat for 8 years now. I am a proud cat parent! In at, I am very patient and feel comfortable around all types of animals. I am a full time public school teacher, so summers are very flexible for me. I can work with most types of schedules this time of year. I am very patient and am willing to work with all types of animals. I understand what it's like to be a pet parent, as I have had my own cat for 8 years.
“Tara was incredible and I would highly recommend her!! She took great care of our cats and the pictures/videos she sent were an added bonus to keep us in the loop while we were away. She summarized her visits in great detail, too, which we really appreciated. Our pets loved her and we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”
“Rebekah has taken care of my cats several times; she’s so attentive to them and does a great job. She always checks in with me with an update and photos, which I always appreciate. I will surely call on her again.”
“Elise did a great job taking care of my two cats! She is responsive, reliable and made sure both my cats (Who are usually very timid around new people) felt safe and comfortable”
“Natalie is an absolute gift ! She took care of my beloved kitty for 9 days while I was gone!! She sent daily pics and info of what was going on!! An absolute re-hire!!!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I been a vet technician son 2018 .I currently have 1 cat, 2 dogs, and even chickens, so I understand how important it is to give every animal attention, patience, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for.
“Megan is phenomenal! She is polite, professional, prompt and easy to work with. She took care of my cat while I away and did a great job; I really felt he was in good hands. She spent time giving him attention and pet rubs at each visit …I know he will miss her so much that if he could, I am certain he would follow her home. I will definitely reach out to Megan again for future pet sitting and I highly recommend her—you won’t be disappointed.”

“Thank you Erica & Christian for keeping Luna entertained for the day. I could tell, from the pics you sent, that she had a fun time and even made new friends. I know she'll be excited to see you all in a month!”
“We were visiting nearby and were so grateful that Olivia could take Bailey, with very little notice, for a couple hours while we had lunch in a restaurant with family. Bailey was reluctant to leave so I think that says it all! We will definitely hire Olivia again when we need doggy day care while in the area.”
“So grateful for Tara! She was very accommodating and patient with my many questions. Once you meet Tara and her family you can tell they are animal lovers. Autzen was well cared for the entire time. Tara's home is a perfect space for running and relaxing. We will definitely be returning!!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! I currently have two happy pups of my own who are part of my daily routine. We go on multiple walks each day and spend lots of time playing and relaxing together. I work from home as a pharmacist, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. My two dogs keep me active with walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day, and I love having the flexibility to give visiting pups the same attention and care. I treat every pup like part of the family! My home has a fenced in yard and is in a very walkable neighborhood so there are plenty of chances to exercise and play. I keep each dog’s routine consistent with what they’re used to — from feeding and walks to cuddle time. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give lots of attention, care, and supervision.
“Cody had a lovely time with Caitlin! And I was completely comfortable that he was being well taken care of, through great communication and photos. We’re so happy to have found Caitlin that we’ve already rebooked Cody to stay with her!”
“Morgan and her family were absolutely AMAZING to my sweet pup! You can really tell that she (along with her children) really just love to care for animals. I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
“Talia and Austin were so sweet. After the meet & greet, my dogs were so excited to be dropped off for a daycare visit. They never even looked back! Talia & Austin sent me videos of my two pups throughout the day which was much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 2 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more. I’m a Cornell student home in NC for the Summer. I work remotely with an internship. With this schedule it is easy to take pets on walks, drop by and check on them, and make sure they get all the care and attention they deserve! I always leave things the way I found them if not better! Including living spaces and animals. I always want to make sure I keep someone’s area clean and make sure I keep someone’s animal safe and happy while with me!
“Adalee was great!! She was super flexible with time and sent pictures of my puppy throughout the day! He had such a good time and was definitely worn out at the end of the day :) she cared well for him and will definitely be using again!!”
“I can’t say enough about Sarina! We did 2 days of daycare for our two pups.and she was awesome with them. They got along great with not only her dogs but the two others she was keeping, also. I will be boarding them with her soon and I know I will be leaving them in great hands. I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much for Sarina!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
“Highly recommend Leah!! We had a last minute event to attend to and she was quick to reply back and accommodate without hesitation. She sent us a picture to keep us updated and was great at attending our doggy’s need! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Leah!”

About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

“Mike is an amazing dog walker, so great with my anxious dog Emma! He’s so patient and kind with her, she now lets him rub her belly - a miracle! I appreciate how thoughtful and considerate he is, even making arrangements for a replacement when he’s on vacation. Really puts my mind at ease knowing I have him to rely on during the day!”
“Margaret is a very patient and hard working woman! My dog is a rescue and very skittish of strangers. She barely lets anybody put on her harness. By day 2, Margaret was taking her on walks and my dog was playing with her when they got back! So as long as my dog is happy, I’m happy. Margaret is an excellent Rover dog care giver that will exceed needs and wants of your pet standards ❤️”

About: As a family of animal lovers with past pet‑business experience, I know how to give pets the gentle, reliable care they deserve. Our own pup, Duke (1.5), is a special‑needs dog himself, so we truly understand patience, routine, and calm support. He’s playful, friendly, and loves making new furry friends at their own pace. I have plenty of time to play with your pet. I’m available every day after 4 PM, and on weekends we’re flexible as needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if they enjoy that. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs — whether they need a calmer environment, slower activities, medication, or extra reassurance. I always adjust to whatever helps them feel safe. They’ll get supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely and can send photo updates throughout the day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.
“Laura was amazing! Took fantastic care of my dog. She’s super responsive to messages and genuinely cares about other people’s pets. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter or dog walker!”
About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.
“Kory came highly recommended from a friend and he did not disappoint! He was very communicative and punctual and took amazing care of our dog. Anyone looking for a dog walker should without a doubt book with Kory.”
About: Hi! I have always loved working with pets. I have owned pets since I was a child and I have dealt with both cats and dogs.

I look forward to getting to spend some time with your pets and giving them all the love when you can't be there! I currently work from home and get to create my own hours so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pets or make sure I am able to walk them. I enjoy taking some time to go on walks during the day so I would love to include your pet on them! I have a fenced in yard as well as access to a dog park and walking trail. I have two fur babies that love to play and will keep your pup entertained. I can crate dogs as needed!

Communication is key,...you tell me what you need. I have a few available weekends between now and then. I am available the weekend of Memorial day and the holiday; check my calendar! STARTING MAY30th for all your SUMMER care needs; I am available everyday and am flexible with times! I am a school teacher and can spend this interim time getting to know you and your needs prior to to your departure for vacations, outings, work trips or get-aways! One summer weekend is my vacation; dates are July 25-27th, unable to provide services.; it is a Saturday, Sunday and a Monday. Safety: Dog-My medium sized Westie (Sallie Mae) needs: Door shut immediately behind me (both glass door and hardwood door). She uses a harness/retractable leash for walks and a collar/retractable leash for short walk around house for fresh air/bathroom break. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. I check that her pet stairs to my bed are placed accordingly to get accessibility to the bed. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. Cat- My cat (Baby Muffin) does not try to escape to the outdoors (yet.....), however; as a precaution I rarely open my sliding glass door open largely or for any longer than necessary. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. I am always aware of her visibility, for example, if she does not appear when I am home or prior to leaving my home; I check for any closed coset doors, cabinets, etc. for a place she may have accidentally been trapped. Trust: Dog-My Westie needs immediate attention and "lovins'" when I walk through the door. Prior to leaving her she is talked to a prepped for me leaving by telling her key statements and then leaving three varieties of chew bones in front of the refrigerator (which she waits for). Trust is provided through routine and consistency. For example, everyday a You Tube video plays a repeating jazz coffee house with ambiance. I also take the measure of saying her name with happy intentions prior to entering my home to ensure she knows it is me at the door. Trust is continuing to repeat the names of her toys daily with playtime and telling her what is happening prior to a walk, etc. or getting close to dinner, bedtime or a ride/walk. Cat-My cat gets talked to immediately when arriving home to ensure she knows just how loved she is! I call her name sweetly and she's petted. She is given cat treats in her special bowl twice a day. At my house, I try to provide trust through routine and consistency. I offer her many places to sleep by herself with her special blankets and provide toys rotated for stimulation (springs, play mice and of course a random paper bag!) Environment: Sallie Mae and Baby Muffin: I have a daily routine where they are give their special treats twice a day, keeping fresh food and water available and rotated, clean bedding for their special sleeping. Our daily routine includes that the TV is left on with YouTube coffee-house jazz ambience and I always provide calming statements of affirmation for them when leaving for the day and again when arriving home. Cat- In the morning, the litterbox is cleaned with scooper and fresh litter is added as needed. I then take that trash out so that litter is not a bad fragrance when returning home. Cat hairballs are discarded as needed and floor area cleaned. Dog- Twice a week I clean a Turf system and relace turfs with clean ones while the others are rinsed and dried. Monthly grooming for her is provided through a mobile service. However; I give Sallie Mae a bath anytime it is needed with special shampoo, tepid warm water with a shower sprayer and then immediately wash and dry her towels that were used.
“I am so thankful for Tara she was a life saver! She came through for me at the last minute. I was super nervous because my dog and I have never used rover. He is Usually very anxious when it comes to other people. Tara was so gentle and made him feel comfortable with her. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves it. My dog was well cared for and ate his food. Even my normally shy cat liked him, which is a huge testament to him.”

“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Ashley is a very nice person and great to work with in setting up the sit. She was very responsive to email messages before, during, and after the sit. Ashley provided photos of our dog during her stay with her. We felt that Abby received great care during the week she stayed with Ashley. When we arrived to drop off Abby and when we picked her up, Ashley was ready for us and had everything organized. We received good feedback on the stay from Ashley and will certainly use her in the future. It was a great experience for our dog and us.”
“Our dog Niki’s stay with Elizabeth and Nick went very well. It was her first stay with them and her first occasion to spend a night without us. As a dog trainer, Elizabeth is very in tune with dogs and did a great job communicating about how Niki did during and after the stay. She was returned to us calm, clean, and smelling good. We will definitely use them again.”
“Thank you so much for watching over my dogs. Most people hear the name German Shepherd and are scared. You were very calm which helped him a lot. Will definitely recommend to book with you.”
“Tara kept our 5 month old rottie while we were out of town. He had never been around other dogs except for our 6 lbs. Schnoodle who he was much too big and rough for. She was great with our Diesel and he learned some great puppy manners while there. We will definitely book again!”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Amazing sitters! Luna loved her stay with Samatha and Tim. They sent photos and videos throughout the time Luna was there. They provided plenty of love, attention and exercise. I would highly recommend Samantha and Tim for your upcoming dog sitting needs. You will not be disappointed!!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my dog overnight at a dog sitters home. I could not be more pleased with how well my dog was taken care of. Allison provided me with constant updates on how my dog was doing and sent lots of photos! I highly recommend!”
“We found the perfect person to watch our Gracie. MARILBEL was accommodating, sweet, and a natural dog lover. Along with her dog, Molly, Maribel gave Gracie a wonderful few days. We had tried our vet's kennel and even the "luxury" pet kennels, but our dog is a "people" dog, and was definitely traumatized by those places, and it took days for her to get back to our normal dog. Putting my dog in a cage for days is NOT what we wanted. But Maribel was our answer. She loved on Gracie, played with her, texted us with pictures, and when we picked her up, she was not traumatized. She was her happy, normal dog self. We are grateful for Maribel and highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much, Summer, for keeping me informed about my huskies throughout my trip. Thank you for the photos and for taking such great care of them, they look so happy. I truly appreciate it!”
“Andrea is the absolute best! She was so kind and helpful watching both of my pups! Her genuine care made my trip so much better knowing that my sweet babes were so well taken care of. She is absolutely our first choice for dog sitting!”
“Morgan was a GREAT pet sitter for Jiao and Tucker (golden retrievers). They had a great time playing in the back yard and also cuddling on the couch with her kids. Very nice house ... and since she works with animals professionally, we had no worries they were in great hands.”
“Leigha was wonderful with my one hear old energetic Rat Terrier, Abby. She sent me messages, photos and videos on a regular basis. It was clear Abbie was relaxed and happy. Leigha has a darling little dog that quickly became my dog's best friend. I would highly recommend Leigha.”
“Kylo really enjoyed his time and seemed to just fit right in at Stephanie&Matthews home. it was such an easy drop off and pick up:) also appreciated the update pictures on all the days we were gone.”
“Jane sends me updates about Max with pictures on a regular basis. I can tell looking at the pictures that Max is very happy with Jane. I feel safe leaving Max with her. I think both of them got along really well. I highly recommend Jane if you intend to be away for a week. She’s very responsible and I trust her with my dog.”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
