“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Can't say enough good things about Luciana. She was great with communication, pupdates, and giving my puppy so much care and attention he came home happier than when I left him. I was reluctant to leave Maverick with anyone and Luciana completely put me at ease. She is 100% my go to person for taking care of my pup.”
“Elena and her husband are fantastic. This was our first experience where we felt no anxiety or stress while Peach was being taken care of. They sent the best updates and we could tell how happy, healthy and loved Peach was during her stay.

“Kerry is clearly a true dog lover. She took such excellent care of our senior girl Winnie while we were out of town! Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!”

Penrose dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly and her husband took incredible care of my foster dog for a week in their home. They accommodated his separation anxiety by never leaving his side and letting him sleep in their bed. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I am so grateful to have found them!
Grace was fantastic! She was very communicative and put our minds at ease for his first stay there! Louie was so excited to see her after our meet and greet! She gave us daily pup-dates and awesome photos the whole time we were gone. We really appreciated her comments and her clear loving control of Louie, who is a big hairy guy and can be a lot to handle at pick up. We would highly recommend Grace and Louie will be happy to return!!
Amazing! If I only had one word to sum up my experience with Yiting then amazing works. She is caring, loving, smart, thoughtful, and my dog Beck adores her. She sent pictures and videos of Beck having a good time. She made sure to get Beck lots of play time, and exercise. She clearly loves animals, and it shows. I highly recommend Yiting as a top notch sitter. Thank you Yiting for an outstanding job!!
Brian was fantastic with our two dogs. He sent great photos of them going on multiple daily walks, running around the large fenced in back yard, and being exhausted on their beds after all of the activities. Will definitely book with him again- thank you for taking such good care of our pups for over a week!
Nicole was so lovely and an absolute pleasure. She made time to video chat with me and tell me about her dog sitting style. Her warmth and love for dogs was apparent within seconds. From the moment we dropped Bogie off, Nicole kept me updated, addressed any concerns and showed me how much she cared. I deeply appreciate it and highly recommend ber
Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!
Claudia was great! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel at ease while we were out of town. She was responsive and sent a picture once a day. When we returned our pup seemed happy and healthy! We couldn't ask for anything better! Thank you Claudia!
