Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Morgan was an absolute gem. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I booked her for dog walks last minute while I was already out of town and my sister with little kids was watching my dog but struggling to do walks. Not only was Morgan prompt with responding, she was responsible and thoughtful. A great communicator. My dog Bolognese loved her. She even spent time one night helping my sister in finding her dog who had gotten out. I cannot speak highly enough of her, she’s the best.
Courtney was very nice and followed all directions perfectly for Otis. Otis seemed happy to see her, and I really appreciated the detailed notes and updates she sent back to me after the walk. I am very happy with how it went and will definitely continue to use her.
Florence is great! She is an excellent communicator and was super accommodating with last-minute availability. She is so friendly with my dog, follows my directions perfectly, and he gets excited to see her. I’ve already used her multiple times and will definitely continue to. Highly recommend!
I went abroad and needed someone to check on my dog and give him some extra love while he stayed with my dad. Erica was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations! She sent several photos of him, which were the highlight of my day while I was missing him so much. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her next time we go away!
Review 3 Katherine never disappoints. This is not my first time booking with her, and each time she delivers the same high level of care and attention. Picasso clearly enjoys being with her, and that says everything. Dependable, kind, and professional—I couldn’t ask for more.
