“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”


“Erika took great care of our dachshund Penne Linguine! She had a dedicated area for our “little princess” and made sure to give her lots of attention, walks, playtime. We received several photos and video of Penne having a great time on her “vacation”. Thanks guys!”


“Dana and Jeremy are AWESOME!! My dog is insane (I forewarned) lol, and I had no doubt that they were taking amazing care of him. She sent tons of pictures and tons of info on what was going on. It was so nice to have a weekend away relaxing not worrying about him one bit! Thank you both SO much!”


“Mindy was truly amazing! Chichi clearly loved his few days at Mindy’s house while I was away and came home happy (unlike his previous stay at a kennel where he came home totally miserable!!) Mindy sent many pictures and kept me updated , she clearly is very knowledgeable about animals, and chichi was well taken care off - I will absolutely book with Mindy again!!”


“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”


“Michelle cared for my Louie and Louie and I were so grateful. She sent many pix throughout his stay and walked him when possible(weather permitting). Most appreciated was that Michelle was able to accommodate us when Delta canceled our flight home and Michelle kept Louie for an additional day. Would recommend her highly and will use her again”


“Madeline was awesome! Super accommodating to a last minute booking and early pickup request, very communicative, and very diligent. Great space for dogs. Kila returned very happy and healthy!”


“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”


“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”


“Couldn’t be more happier to had crossed paths with Kimberly. She understands my crisis I’m in and has been nothing but welcoming, supportive, sends updates of my pets, in communication there is never any delays which is great. I’m able to pop in to check and get love from my pets which is more than ever needed for me at this time. I’m greatful for Kimberly and the outstanding service she provides for my pets. I’d highly recommend Kimberly to other fur parents”



“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”


About: I have taken care of my own family dogs and cats for my whole childhood and adulthood life. I have been given the experience of watching my neighbors and friends' pets. It has ranged from hamsters to dogs. I also have experience with training and watching after puppies. I work full-time as a teacher so am home by midafternoon. I take a mile walk before I leave for work and when I get back, so your pet will receive adequate exercise and stimulation. I have a dog to keep your furry friend company! He is very calm and loves other animals. I have space if your animal needs separation or to be crated for any reason.

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”


“Crystal was awesome! She sent 2 to 3 updates a day on my dog. She also took great care of him, walking him and even giving him his meds. You could tell he was comfortable! We will definitely use Crystal again in the future!”


About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just providing companionship while you’re away. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my calm, patient approach, and my genuine love for every pet I meet. I’m also confident in my ability to follow detailed care routines, and great at building trust with shy or anxious pets. Safety, reliability, and creating a stress-free experience for your furry family member are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and brings a great balance to my life. I currently work part-time as a waitress, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate consistent time and energy to dog walking, sitting, and overall pet care throughout the week. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from D’Youville University and am currently studying for my national board exam to become licensed in New York State. During this period, my schedule remains highly flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but also something that keeps me grounded and motivated as I prepare for the next step in my professional journey. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have one dog of my own—Stella—who is the queen of our house and loves making new furry friends. She’s extremely friendly and gentle, and would be a great companion for your pup. We also have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to care for them there as well. I understand how important routine is, and I always make sure to follow your dog’s regular schedule to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Abbott McKinley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan went above and beyond to help me and my family get to Canada for my niece's wedding. I had to make arrangements to drop Charlie off late in the evening before crossing the border. Megan was very helpful in making a complicated system of travel plans effective. She took great care of our dogs, and the dogs had a great time playing with the neighborhood kids and enjoying the fenced in back yard and the frequent walks. Megan is a fantastic dogsitter and I will book with her again. Charlie and Dolly say "thanks for the fun vacation!"
