South End pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hayley was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious dog while I was out of town. It was particularly reassuring having someone experienced in preventing and navigating dog reactivity in their own pets watching her. Hayley was communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend their services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Ashley was absolutely fantastic with our boy! She was very communicative throughout the weekend and sent photos during the day time. Neville was extremely comfortable and happy upon our return home. We can’t thank her enough for her last minute support. 10/10 recommend!
Stephanie is fantastic! She has housesat for our two goldens four times now. She takes care of everything they need and whatever comes up for them with ease and skill. We always feel reassured when she’s with them and they have a great time together - the photos Stephanie sends proves it and we come home to mellow and happy dogs :)
Meaghan is wonderful. She was being so fine and flexible to work with my last minute request to meet earlier and very accommodating. She was patient with my shy dog who was actually aggressive at the initial moment and able to gain his trust shortly after I left the room with them. Highly recommend!
sara was absolutely fantastic. rye can be super slow to warm up to new people, but she was drawn to sara right away at our meet & greet — it was amazing. she was calm, gentle, and patient w rye, and communicative, thorough, and thoughtful with me. i was extra nervous because my last sitter was one of those Rover nightmares you read about, but sara restored my faith, and i’d hire her again in a heartbeat.
Camilla was the perfect sitter - truly the kind you hope to find but rarely do. She stepped in at the last minute when we urgently needed help and immediately scheduled a meet-and-greet. She was extremely communicative from the start, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she had everything she needed to care for our pets. While we were away for the weekend, her updates were meticulous and proactive, complete with wonderful photos; we never once had to ask how things were going. She went above and beyond, doing extra little things we hadn’t even thought to request, and it was clear our pets adored her. Our dog, who usually gets anxious when we’re away, was calm and happy when we returned. On top of all that, Camilla’s background as a vet tech gave us complete peace of mind knowing she could handle any emergencies. But what truly sets her apart is how reliable and communicative she is, something that’s hard to find these days. She’s without question one of the best sitters we’ve ever had.
Ashley was an amazing dog- and house-sitter. My pup Summer has some weird health stuff going on and it's also been really hot out; Ashley handled everything great! She also left the place spotless and went out of her way to make sure it was comfortable for me when I landed super late from a work trip. Plenty of updates and good communication overall. Can't recommend her more highly!
