Pets are family members!

Pet care experience

Growing up we always had dogs in the home. Raised as family members. Now as an adult I don’t have dogs full time so I found rover as a great opportunity to still have that comfort in the home and bring in some more income. I do have children so having a dog full time isn’t fitting for us at this time but through River I can give my children a glimpse into the joys of having a dog around and the responsibilities that come with them.

They took good care of our dog Bella while we were away on vacation.

I left my pup with Sharon and her son for over a week. They cared for her and she appeared to come back happy and fed. However, I would encourage better communication. Getting updates from the duo felt like pulling teeth and I was unaware that the son would be watching my pup until I dropped her off (despite meeting prior for a meet and greet). I don’t mind that the son watched my pup but a heads up would have been appreciated. I had to text and ask for updates and photos that sometimes took more than 24 hours to receive. As a Rover provider myself, I felt that this was unprofessional and I try to provide clients with photos daily. The initial drop off was not smooth either. I communicated the window of time that I would drop off and gave them a target time. I also provided a 30 mins notice. I was running late so I did let them know but they still had a 30-60 mins notice before I arrived. When I arrived, the lights were off and no one answered the door. I called, I texted, I knocked and it took more than 20 mins for someone to answer the door. After the door was finally answered, I was then informed that the son would be providing the care. So that’s why I initially felt unease and started texting trying to get updates as I was concerned the care was not a priority since they were not prepared for drop off and almost felt like the son was doing the care because the mom couldn’t…? Not sure why the change. 3 stars because as far as I can tell, the son did a fair job caring for my pup.

They did a great job caring for our fur babies. Our dogs came back happy and healthy. They kept us updated on how they were doing!

We are a family of four. Someone is always home. When I work my 16 yr old daughter is home. She home schools so this gives her an opportunity to learn the responsibilities and the comfort of a friendly dog and she receives portions of the income.
