Forest Glen dog parents share their Rover experiences
After submitting the booking request, Michel was very responsive and asked thoughtful questions to ensure our pet would be comfortable during the meet and greet and the sitting. Our boy is a rescue and struggles with anxiety, and it was clear Michel and her husband helped him feel right at home. We would love to book with them again in the future.

Paige is absolutely wonderful with Astrid! She is communicative, sends lots of pictures, and is flexible to our dog’s needs. I can’t express how appreciative we are of her taking Astrid on short notice, and we will definitely be keeping her in mind for future care needs.

Emily did an amazing job with my dog Murphy! Always sent pictures and gave updates on him. She asked questions when she had them which we really appreciated! Murphy definitely enjoyed his stay with Emily and happy that I now have a trusted sitter for him where he’ll be looked after and enjoy his time there! Will be rebooking in the near future and highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter!

Ashton was great! She made our first time boarding our dog Fitz a breeze and kept us update with how he was doing, including pictures and videos. She was also very accommodating when our flight was delayed. Fitz loved his time there and we hope to have him back to spend more time with Rui.

Patricia is truly an incredible sitter. Our puppy loves quality time from people and it’s so clear that Patricia gave her the attention and care she needed. Ours is an English bulldog, which requires a bit more care than most breeds, and she was very well cared-for. Patricia also was proactive in her communication, sharing how our puppy was doing and sending lots of cute photos. I can’t recommend Patricia enough! It’s clear she truly is a pet person who cares for the pets she takes care of.

Madeline and her Staffordshire, Gus really took great care of Rusty over the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date with how things were going. Gus and Rusty seemed to be very happy playing together and hanging out. We will definitely be booking again.

Jennifer has watched our dog many times now and now our cat. Penny absolutely loves going to Jennifer’s and our cat who stays away from everyone was hanging out with Jennifer. Jennifer was able to accommodate an extra night when our flight home was canceled. We will definitely continue booking with Jennifer. Thanks for everything!

Melissa went above and beyond caring for my dog over the weekend, to the point of hand-feeding her when she was being picky with her kibble. She was extremely flexible with unusual pickup and drop off hours and was efficiently communicative throughout my dog’s stay. Cannot recommend Melissa enough!
