“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”
“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”

“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi.

“Trudy had a great time! She was let on the bed and hung out with the kids and family...I received many pictures during the stay which I loved...and when I arrived to take her home...she ran to the back door...we thought she wanted to go potty...she ran out...and turned around and waited for me...I walked out...she ran the yard twice and then wanted back in...there were many pics of her in the backyard...and she just wanted to show me where she had been...then she was ready to go home...definitely will rebook!”

“Gail and Charles kept my dog for an entire week while I was on vacation. They sent some pictures which was nice and helped me to know he was okay. When I picked my dog up from my trip he was happy and fell right back into routine at home. I would definitely consider this nice couple to sit for me again!”
“Left my girl with him for the first time ever. I’ve never used an app to find care for her and he kept me updated on what she was doing and put my mind at ease. I would use Salehin again”

River Cove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was super friendly! Her backyard was perfectly setup for my young golden retriever. Lots of space for her to run around and play. I got lots of pictures of Nova playing with the other pups, and she fell asleep immediately after we got home, so she sure had a fun day. Would definitely recommend booking with Natalie!
Samantha was so great! She watched our Bobby for the last two nights and he was so excited to go to her house. He had so much fun playing with her and her teenage kids. She even took him for his first run! She sent updates with pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend!
