“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”

Grinnell dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maria is clearly a dog person: my dog took to her immediately and was reluctant to leave after the meet and greet! My dog got lots of love and walks while I was out of town. Maria and her friends gave her lots of attention, and her cat and my dog got along by mostly minding their own business. I received plenty of pictures, including a couple of my dog cuddled up in a blanket on the bed.
