Carver dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carolina was so kind and caring with Fefe! Fefe was very relaxed when we picked her up, which says it all. Carolina made her feel very at home and comfy, and gave her extra love when she was feeling a little out of sorts. Carolina followed our care instructions, including medications, very carefully, and communicated how she was doing throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend Carolina!
Elise took great care of my senior dog Edgar. She had no trouble managing the various pills and supplements he needs for his kidney disease. She was responsive to any questions I had. Her cats were very friendly as well. Edgar was in high spirits when I picked him up. It's clear she cares a whole lot about animals. Highly recommended.
Matt was very helpful at organizing our first sitting and really attentive at caring for our 3 year old rambunctious pup. He is incredibly organized, has a very clean home, and is a professional at running his doggy day care. Birdie had a great time, had tons of playtime and love, and will definitely be going back!
Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!
This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!
Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.
