East Grand Rapids dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tim is a Gentleman!. He is not only the best, he updates Yuki info to us everyday. WE really appreciate Rover to help us to find Tim. I Hope Tim will help us in the near future when we travel again
Abby was great with our two pups. Super easy drop off & pickup too! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Would recommend Naha to any pet owner. Our dog had an excellent stay! Naha sent us photos, updates and was very flexible!
Joshua was great with my pups and understood them well. He’s a very knowledgeable and compassionate dog person. I know my young Aussie is a handful, and I appreciate Joshua’s patience. My dogs obviously had a blast with their new friends. I highly recommend him!
Michael and his family were amazing, communicative and engaging with our 2 mini Aussies. It seemed like they really enjoyed their time there! I really appreciate Michael’s attention to detail and kindness. We are totally using them again when we travel out of town! A+++
Deb was wonderful and caring! Peppy loved her immediately upon meeting her. He actually seems calmer now that he is back home so she must have walked him a lot! I would definitely call upon Deb again if I need a pet sitter. I have recommended Rover to several friends and told them to ask for Deb!
We are 1st time Rover users so went in with some trepidation. Leslie immediately made us feel comfortable, such great communication and even sent a picture of a very content Luna. Looking forward to working with her again and highly recommend 💜
Samantha and her bf were great with Luanne! Upon meeting, they and Lu got along right away. Samantha was very kind to keep us updated on their activities and how Lu was doing. I highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you Samantha!
Oh my goodness - we are thrilled to have found Marina and will definitely book with her again. Our Lydia had a wonderful time playing with her pup and her toddler son. She was so accommodating and thoughtful to keep us updated during her stay. Thank you, Rover and Marina!
Thank you for being the perfect person for our Bentley! We don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have you!
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
I am so thankful for the kind and loving care Christine showed my dog. Daily photos and updates brought me smiles and confidence that she was being taken care of like family. I am so appreciative!!
Our 14+ year old golden was well taken care of by Lauren. She is a great Rover sitter! We would highly recommend her.
Molly was amazing! Our dog clearly had a great time staying with her, as we got pictures and updates of him snuggled up and out and about. Molly was also very easy to get a hold of the whole time and super understanding about our greatly delayed flight. Hopefully our pup will be visiting her again!
Katy was absolutely great to work with and did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Chester. It was clear that he really felt comfortable there, was well taken care of, and enjoyed being with Katy. I really liked getting a brief daily update, with a picture, and also appreciated her communication about how he was doing. Would highly recommend!
Amanda was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we'll definitely book with Amanda again. Her communication was stellar and I could tell she was really caring for our dog, who came home chill and happy!
Brittni was the best! She sent lots of pictures and updates, was super attentive, and our dog had the best time!
Sarah was amazing! Couldn’t have had anyone better for my husky/malamute to stay with. She took such good care of him and I think he wants to go back already lol. Her dog Teddy is such a sweetheart. I love that she took him to the dog park and sent photos and updates!
