“Sky was great! As a dog mom, my dog means the world to me and it can be nerve wracking leaving her. Sky took great care of her and sent daily video updates. Her communication is stellar and quick, which is extremely important to me. I would recommend Sky to everyone!”
“Our normal rover had to cancel last minute for a family emergency and Morgan was able to meet me and Kody and watch him on short notice!! Morgan did an amazing job watching our dog Kody. He can be nervous around new people and new environments. Morgan (and Winnie) were so patient with him!! Morgan sent me so many updates which was much appreciated. We will definitely ask Morgan to watch Kody again!”
“This was the first time I used Rover. After carefully combing through potential sitters for my 7 month old goldendoodle, I came across Zuleirys and just had a good feeling reading the reviews. I am super attached to my puppy and had never left her before for more than a few hours so this was super scary for me. Zuleirys took all that fear away, especially when she took the extra time to come meet us and our pup at a park to see how they interacted and if everyone was a good fit for each other. We instantly hit it off and she is so friendly and kind and really fun - even our pup loved her (no surprise there!) I had nothing to worry about! Zuleirys was wonderful and receptive to my needs for Moira and sent me pictures, videos & texts to update Moira’s progress several times a day which was so greatly appreciated. I felt very comfortable leaving Moira in Zuleirys care. I certainly won’t hesitate using her services again in the future and you shouldn’t either! To go the extra extra mile, I want to also say our pup stayed with her 10 days for our wedding and honeymoon - Zuleirys made all of our dreams come true by driving all the way to our venue on our wedding day, on time, and handling Moira so our dog could be a part of the biggest most special day of our lives. We will be forever grateful for her generosity, flexibility, and understanding for doing that without hesitation. Thank you Zuleirys!!!”
“Anne Marie warmly welcomed my little guy Hudson into her home! She sent photos, updates and took care of him just like her own. Will absolutely use her again next time I’m away.”
“Brianne and her family are awesome! Always communicative, she is flexible with drop off and pick ups, and so caring towards Marvin. Will continue to use her!”
“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.”
“We are very satisfied with Sandra G. It was the first time that we used Rover as service to find some one who take care of our dog Mila and all the time we feel in confidence with Sandra G. and the way she treated our beagle. She sent photos and information about Mila twice times per day and answered our messages almost inmediatly, in the pictures Mila appeared quiet and comfortable and when we picked her up, she was as always is. If we need one place to leave Mila, definitely we will rebook whit her.”

Rivercrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madeline and her Staffordshire, Gus really took great care of Rusty over the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date with how things were going. Gus and Rusty seemed to be very happy playing together and hanging out. We will definitely be booking again.
Melissa went above and beyond caring for my dog over the weekend, to the point of hand-feeding her when she was being picky with her kibble. She was extremely flexible with unusual pickup and drop off hours and was efficiently communicative throughout my dog’s stay. Cannot recommend Melissa enough!
I can’t say enough about how amazing and kind Soraya was to have as a sitter for our Heidi. My original plan was to take Heidi with us on our vacation, and when that didn’t work out Soraya was available kind of last minute. When we decided we may want to extend our trip, she was also flexible so that we had the privilege to do that. She sent photos and updates every day which made my mind at ease, knowing Heidi was being loved and taken care of while we were away. Normally when I have to leave Heidi with someone, and I come back, she wiggles and squirms to get out of their arms and to me. When I picked Heidi up today, she didn’t squirm so much, yet she seemed content in Soraya’s arms. So, I know Soraya and her husband loved our girl, but I also know she loved them as well.
Excellent experience with great communication and handoff! Morgan was very involved and considerate with a high energy dog. Took her on walks and parks to keep Hazel active. Daily pictures and updates kept us calm and confident that our pup was doing well. Highly recommended! Thank you! :)
