Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
We came into Alaska on a roadtrip and Jessica did a great job dog sitting for our older dog Beans. We received multiple updates with cute photos of him per day and let us rest easy knowing he was getting great care. We highly recommend Jessica!
Olga was perfect! She was flexible when our dates shifted and sent photos daily to help with how much we missed our dog. It was clear to she got lots of exercise and ball chasing (her favorite activity!) I would definitely have our dog stay with her anytime.
Sabrina and her family took good care of our boys while we were away. She was responsive and was able to handle any issues that our geriatric bulldog threw their way. I appreciate their patience with him during his stay.
Aubrey is exceptional. Very easy to communicate with and willing to help. Her ur babies are very playful and nice to Midnight. They are all number one on my rebooking list.
Ralph was great!! He had us stop by before our stay so we could see the house and chat with us about Sasha’s personality and needs. He had a beautiful back yard which she thoroughly enjoyed. She was tired when she got home..in a good way!! He checked in and sent pics. We would absolutely use Ralph again and recommend.
Great communication, took really good care of Blade. She was very flexible when an emergency came up and I am very appreciative of that. I would highly recommend.
