“From managing time off bookings, dropping of my pet, and then picking her up, the process has been smooth and efficient. I highly appreciate Liz and eric; they keep me informed throughout, providing updates and texts and photos. during drop-off and pickup, we are always greeted at the door in a friendly and professional manner. I truly value their services and look forward to returning with my pet this month, next month, and beyond. I recommend their services to anyone seeking quality care.”
“My dog Barkley was so well cared for by Megan & Jacob! I could tell he felt comfortable right from the start, and I appreciated their great communication before and during Barkley’s time with them.”
“I can’t say enough about Gisel and her family that gave us a warm welcome the moment we connected. At our meet and greet, I knew she was the one to host our #furbaby Cody. Even her children were loving towards him. They are a wonderful family and far exceeded our expectations of caring for our Cody with pics and videos the whole seven days. Our neighbor uses her as well for their Yorkie and are very pleased with the care they’ve received. The bonus for us, she’s a stay at home mom and Cody was not left alone all day. She has small dogs as well and he was able to meet new friends. This was our first time leaving Cody without family and Gisel eased all of my anxiety because of her love for animals. We’ll be using her again soon.😊”

Clayton dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have been bringing Jazz to Ms Angelene ever since she was a puppy. Jazz just turned 9 last month so that should tell you how much I trust Angelene. Angelene is always so welcoming when I bring Jazz over and flexible with pick up or drop off times as much as she can be. She is ALWAYS my first option when I have to travel for work and leave the pup. I know Jazz is in good hands! Thanks Ms Angelene for always watching Jazz when you can and taking such good care of her. I never have to worry when I do her off
Alessandra was quick to respond to my initial request for a sitter. Jesse enjoyed his stay with Alessandra and her family. She gave me daily updates with photos of his little vacation, car rides and all. Thank you Alessandra for taking care of our special needs sweet dog. I’m sure he was a challenge but I felt confident that he would be taken well cared for and he was. Please thank your daughter as well.
