“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”

“We only have great things to say about Alyce! Our golden Zoey loved staying with Alyce and Mookie for a whole week and we will absolutely use them again. From the meet and greet to pickup, the whole process was very easy and comfortable and we know Zoey will be very excited to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Once again, Christine takes the cake for giving our pup Brie the most amazing weekend! Brie had a wonderful time with Christine and friends, and Christine takes her health and safety seriously so that I never needed to worry about her and could enjoy the weekend away. Thanks to Christine for always being the very best! Highly recommend!”

“Allie and Monty have built an extraordinarily beautiful bond with Aria, offering her a loving holiday family and an at once relaxing & refreshing vacation while we have to visit Colombia for 12 days. Allie is attentive and timely, responsive and responsible. We can always count on waking up and going to sleep with a cute video and multiple snapshots of Aria fast asleep or busy being mischievous. Both doodles, Aria and Monty found themselves synergically synchronized, a companionship in which we found further solace and soundness of mind, adding to Allie’s model guardianship. We cannot recommend Allie and Monty enough!”

Glencarlyn dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sydney did such an incredible job with Archie! He came home pretty relaxed after our separation, which doesn’t usually happen. Sydney was so communicative, kind, and easy to work with. She sent so many great updates and photos. I will definitely be booking with her again!

I can’t stress enough how amazing Oriana is. She has been helping me with Bear since I got him and has never let me down. She is so patient with him and always leaves very detailed summaries of her time. She never leaves my home messy which I also appreciate. I plan to keep her around for as long as she’s willing

I cannot say enough good things about Spencer. He saved us in a VERY last minute booking (less than 24 hours!). He took great care of our dog; lots of walks, lots of outdoor time. He is an excellent communicator and sent multiple pictures daily. He is responsive, responsible, and reliable. I cannot recommend him enough and I hope he will watch our dog again in the future!

Andrew did a great job with Loki. Seemed like she settled in and was comfortable with Andrew. He communicated well and gave me intermittent updates on how things were going. He made sure Loki's needs were met throughout the stay. I would definitely work with Andrew again.

Laurie and Richard were fantastic sitters! They kept me updated throughout the stay, showered my pup with love and affection, and were incredibly communicative and understanding about his care needs and scheduling. My dog came home completely calm and content - I couldn’t have asked for better care!

Yuxi was exceptional as a rover sitter! She constantly updated me with photos throughout the day and showed compassion and care for my pet. Miley was also accompanied by Yuxis bf and his playful dog, which further rest assured the safe and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend

Grace did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for my dog over the weekend. She sent so many adorable photos and gave plenty of cuddles, which truly made my dog feel at home. She was also incredibly thoughtful and accommodating with my dog’s mild anxiety. I couldn’t have asked for better care.
