1. Paul J.
“We always feel at ease when we know our dogs are being looked after by Paul. He goes above and beyond to make them feel loved and relaxed during his visits and makes a point to send thoughtful messages and photos while we are away. Thank you Paul!”
2. Will S.
“Will was amazing with the crew! He even went to my house a little early to avoid the thunderstorm so that they wouldn’t have to potty in the rain! Amazing! 10/10! Thank you so much.”
3. Katie P.
“Katie is THE BEST! She helped make our graduation weekend in Durham one in which we never had to worry about our dog's care, coming on time to our AirBnb multiple times a day to check in, walk, and provide lots of love to our little guy. We were so grateful to have her help over the weekend so that we could focus on our Duke graduate without worrying about walks and meals for our pup, and her photos and notes were a delight throughout the weekend. Her immediate connection to our dog was obvious from her first visit and we were thrilled to have her be a part of the family for the weekend. Thanks, Katie!”
4. Madisen F.
“Madisen is such a star!!! Couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our picky cat. Luna absolutely loved her and the pictures we got of Luna were some of the cutest pictures we’ve ever gotten of her. The visit summaries were also very detailed and made us feel so much better about being away from our little Luna!”
5. Kristen G.
“The absolute BEST! So great with my cat. She sent updates, got great pictures, and it was clear my cat loved her. She really took the time every day to show some love to and take care of her.

I know that Leroy was in great hands, and I would use Isabel again in a heartbeat!”

20. Averi L.
“Averi is the best! This was my first Rover experience and she was so kind and helpful. I desperately needed a last minute drop in visit last week for my new puppy during a busy week of work and Averi responded super fast. Averi spent an hour per day with my puppy taking him for walks, playing training games, and fetch in the yard. My pup loved her company and I felt so relieved he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend Averi and she will be at the top of my list for my next booking!”
