Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
We’ve had such a wonderful experience! Jasmine has been incredibly patient and kind with my shy dogs, allowing them to warm up to her at their own pace. It has been so sweet to watch them build a bond with her, and I truly appreciate how caring and gentle she is with them. Highly recommend!
Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!
Stacie was absolutely amazing. My pup can be a handful to say the least and I never had a worry when she was with Stacie. Additionally I run on chaos and when an issue would pop up Stacie was quick to adapt. I will definitely be reaching out to Stacie in the future!
Katie has been the best dog walker for our dog, Otis! She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. He is always excited to see her and comes back from his walks happy and significantly calmer. Our toddler loves her too 😊. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking or sitting!
