Carol was amazing and very professional! Carol watched our dog on our wedding day and was perfect — reliable, communicative, and flexible. We fully recommend Carol, and look forward to future dog sitting!

Carol was super responsible with dog and home. Our senior dog with mobility issues bonded with her immediately and though she was happy to see us when we got home she did sit by the door looking longingly like she wanted Carol to come back. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Carol. She took care of my four dogs while house sitting and did an excellent job managing everything. Even with multiple dogs and a few rainy days, she stayed on top of their care and made sure they were comfortable and well loved. She sent multiple updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was also clear from her messages and photos that she showed genuine affection toward my dogs, which meant a lot to me. It was clear she treated my home with respect and took her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.

This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the way Carol took such beautiful care of our dogs and home. She was attentive, patient, playful and thoughtful with our pets. She was also super professional, prompt and thorough in all communications, including regular updates on the status of our two Airdale terriers, including sending numerous sweet photos, daily. Bottom line, we have been completely impressed with and reassured by the way Carol watched after our dogs and home while we were away. While we have been happy using a kennel in the past, this feels like a much better, more reliable way to ensure our pups are as well cared for, individually, as we would like. Thank you, Carol!
