1. John G.

“My first experience with Rover with John was unbelievably perfect. John sent pictures and videos, gave exercise to my puppy for two days of daycare, and both days Honey came back exhausted and happy! John’s family helped to keep an eye on Honey too, while the pups were a perfect match for her. I HIGHLY recommend john to anyone who needs help watching their dog!”


2. Louis & Haley B.

“I cannot say enough good things about this experience. We are traveling to VT on vacation and needed someone to watch Thor while we did some indoor activities. Matt and Cassidy were amazing from first contact to pick up. Thor became fast friends with their dog Atlas and every photo they sent me showed how happy he was. As a nervous mother, they managed to quell any fears from the very beginning. I’m so happy with this experience! Thank you, Matt and Cassidy!”

“I booked Kara the day before needing a pup sitter. She was very kind and professional! It was my first time using using an app of this sort and I was feeling a little nervous. Upon meeting, Kara reassured me that it was okay! I was so happy that she had a pup of her own because mine LOVES other dogs. Kara sent sweet pictures throughout the day and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend & use Kara again if needed! Thank you!”
