West University dog parents share their Rover experiences
I felt so comfortable leaving my 2 pups with Jose! He sent pictures and videos every day and I could tell he is very attentive. We were gone for 8 days and know our dogs were very happy with him! I love that he has his own dogs and that so many other people feel so comfortable leaving their babies with him! 10/10 would recommend and definitely use his services again!
They take awesome care of Midna, and make me feel great about leaving her for vacation :) I highly recommend Christine and Colin for dogsitting.
As usual, Anna was an excellent sitter for my Luna! Every time I pick Luna up from Anna’s, she doesn’t want to leave. I love that I can always trust her with my pup!!
Thank you! My nervous dog did so well at Adrian’s home. Great experience! Would absolutely book again.
Lou was amazing! This was the first time she watched our dog and she made us feel at ease. She was very communicative and sent pictures daily. We will definitely be using her again!
Hannah was great! Good communication and flexibility. My dog came home very happy. Will use her again.
Marissa did such a great job with my two dogs! They loved staying with her for an extended trip. Very grateful to find such an empathetic and helpful person to take care of my two dogs.
Ashley was amazing with our dog Maggie. We were gone for 10 days and we got multiple updates throughout the day. Our dog is a senior dog, she usually sleep all day, and she got along great with Ashley’s dog. They were best friends. I would use Ashley again!
Taniya took great care of Mika and went the extra mile keeping her clean and comfortable when she had stomach problems. She came back smelling good and happy as ever, would recommend!
Erika took great care of Tobi! He had plenty of space to play around, and I received photos every day. Highly recommend.
Julian was awesome with Nilla! He took such great care of her and kept us updated every day with tons of videos and photos. It made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We honestly can’t thank him enough – highly recommend!
Cassandra and Jason were great! Our pup has a checkered past and can be very anxious. However, she was able to settle quickly in their home! They kept us updated each and every day. Our pup had a great stay with them!
Daniela took wonderful care of our mini poodle, Lucy! She was communicative, kind, and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. Lucy had such a great time with her and her dog. it’s clear she felt right at home. We’ll definitely have Lucy stay with Daniela again!
Juanita was so so so great with my dog, Murphy! He’s an anxious guy and she gave him so much love and attention + lots of content with her dog walnut! ❤️ Highly recommended Juanita for your next booking
Kelly was incredible! Chili didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. I also had to extend the stay one more night and Kelly was more than gracious with helping out. Could not be more thankful and highly recommend her
Samuel was a great sitter! He provided me with updates regularly and it was clear he genuinely cared for my dog.
Addi took great care of our dog! She was very sweet, sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend!!
Olha was amazing. She sent lots of pictures and updates. My pets seemed happy. It was a great experience.
Evan sends photo updates, is patient and caring, and goes above and beyond in his service! My dog loves him so much that she now stops by his door when we pass to try and say hi!
Audrey is absolutely amazing! Equal parts professional, loving, and responsive as a dog sitter. She truly seeks adventure for the pups every day, and they come home tired but SO content. She sends photos and videos frequently, is quick to respond, and deeply cares about the dogs she’s looking after. She worked with my dogs on some basic commands and has an impressive way of getting the pack to respond. My dogs can’t wait for another Audrey adventure!
