“Eugene is a TOP TIER sitter. I left my fur baby with Eugene for an out of town trip to NC with my family for the Juneteenth weekend and I as super nervous and last minute due to the original sitter I had setup for my baby Buddha bailing at the last minute. Eugene was fast and responsive in my initial inquiry for his service. He answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease about choosing him to watch Buddha. He even went above and beyond with videos of my baby daily and their walks. When I dropped my baby off he went right with him as if he knew he was in good hands and home lol. I had an overall excellent experience for my clingy dog and would highly recommend him and utilize his service again. 10/10 😊”
“Wonderful place to leave your pet mowing he will be safe and well cared for. This family serves in the US Coast Guard which is a plus for me when it comes to pick a care taker”
“Stephen has been the most responsive person I've ever left Aquiles with. A week before our scheduled drop off date he set up a meet and greet with my dog Aquiles and his dogs and it went great. During our 8 day trip, Stephen was constantly sending us picture so how much fun my pup was having and he looked very happy in every one of them. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry guy. I definitely hope to use your services in the future.”
“Jenn took really good care of my pet Teddy. She accommodated my last minute booking request. She gave us daily updates with pictures. When we picked up Teddy, he is clean and smells good. Will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you and keep up the good work.”
“What an incredible family taking care of our new puppy called Ziggy. We live abroad and needed a sitter until we could take him over full time. They were so easy to communicate with and so helpful with everything from change of food, treats, to teaching him demands and keeping him safe. He has been playing non stop with their house dog as well as with other dogs they have sat through the more than one month they took care of Ziggy. I can’t be thankful enough. Your dog will be safe with this family, I can assure you this! Thank you Maria & Matthew 🙏🏻”

Hickory dog parents share their Rover experiences
"I had a wonderful experience with June as my pet sitter! Casper had an amazing time during his stay. She was so attentive and caring, and it was clear that he really enjoyed spending time with them. The dogs and cat were great company for him, and I loved hearing how well they all got along. June went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Casper can’t wait for his next stay!"
