Parkside pet parents share their Rover experiences
She’s actually the best sitter ever and feel so incredibly lucky to have found her!!! She came by when she wasn’t scheduled because my dog got into extra food. Cannot say enough good things, she really made me be present on my trip because she was so attentive to my pup.
Harrison is so wonderful with pets, and their people. He arrived on time every day. He made time to play with Figaro and gave him treats. He cleaned his dishes and his litter box. He went above and beyond. I would give him more than 5 stars if it was an option!
Took great care of both my kitties and was very patient when they were naughty. Very communicative and always provided updates and pictures while I was away. It made my 2 weeks away much easier that they were in good hands. She went above and beyond, cleaning the litterboxes, making sure the auto-feeders were filled, refilled the water containers even giving my kidney kitty her fluids.
Brian was incredible! Our dog Davey has a very hard time warming up to others but Brian was very patient with him and Davey quickly calmed down around him. He also sent us regular updates and photos to keep us posted while we were away and met up with us before his first visit so we could all get to know each other.
