“I can never say enough about about her wonderful services. My dog is older and has some special abilities that need to be tended to. She has dogs herself that are gentle and playful that supplies my dog with a plenty of playmates. She also never kenneled my dog which was a big worry for me. Time and time again I would never choose anyone else to take care of my sweet boy.”

I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”

Scott's Addition dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lindsey and Brian did a great job taking care of our old girl. They were flexible with challenging airport drop off and pickup times as well. Pictures and updates throughout the stay made us feel confident she was in good hands and made leaving her easier. Will definitely rebook

Carolina was so kind and caring with Fefe! Fefe was very relaxed when we picked her up, which says it all. Carolina made her feel very at home and comfy, and gave her extra love when she was feeling a little out of sorts. Carolina followed our care instructions, including medications, very carefully, and communicated how she was doing throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend Carolina!

Elise took great care of my senior dog Edgar. She had no trouble managing the various pills and supplements he needs for his kidney disease. She was responsive to any questions I had. Her cats were very friendly as well. Edgar was in high spirits when I picked him up. It's clear she cares a whole lot about animals. Highly recommended.

Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.

Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!

We had a great experience with our recent pet sitter, who watched our two dogs, Griffin and Max, while we were away. From our first communication, they were responsive and kind. When we got back, the dogs were relaxed and content. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!

Grace was so welcoming for Oliver's first stay. He enjoyed her yard and hanging with her dogs and their toy basket. Grace shared lots of updates and made sure Oliver was able to settle in quickly. I felt he was in great hands while we were out of town and I look forward to Oliver spending his next stay with Grace.
