“She is the best dog sitter I have ever met. She sent photos and videos every day so I could tell my dog had a really great time with her and her dog. She accommodated drop-off & pick-up on our schedule as well.”
“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”
“Shawn was great, he sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which was very thoughtful. He clearly understands dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable. He has a calm and easy demeanor about him which was perfect for my rescue who is usually very scared of anyone she doesn’t know. She warmed up to Shawn more than I expected and had a good time with the other dogs during her stay.”
“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
About: Greetings! My name is Vincent and I’m a dedicated dog lover who loves caring for pups of all breeds and sizes!

I have a fenced yard and 1 very friendly dog to keep your pup company. I provide food, water, lots of fun toys, and tasty treats!! 😁
“We have now used Shiina as our dog's babysitter twice and she has, without a doubt, FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. Sometimes with Rover sitters you can tell the sitters are just in it for the paycheck, but this is CLEARLY NOT the case with Shiina. We got hourly pictures and videos of our dog, homecooked meals, and our dog was clearly showered with attention and love. Shiina is our #1 dogsitter and unless she is unavailable, we will always prefer to use her services. She is unlike any other and I am so grateful to have found her for our dog!”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
“Sharon shared videos and photos during Joe Joes stay. And was quick to respond! She is very nice in person and Joe Joe came back smelling great (I paid for grooming service) and happy!”
“Our Winston had a great day with Marlene! She was very attentive to him and had excellent communication before and during his stay. We are looking forward to having Winston stay with her again in the future!”
“I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Lexi with Veronica even though this was her first stay. She kept us updated w pictures and text messages while we were away. Finding someone who is able to handle Lexi being diabetic and requiring injections daily is fantastic. Lexi is looking forward to her next stay.”
About: I have extensive experience with taking care of cats and dogs as I have always had animals in my home. Currently I have two cats and three turtles. I also work for an animal food pantry where we provide free pet food to senior citizens and low income families. I also take care of multiple cat colonies near my home and have built shelters for them! I currently am working 4 days in person in New York City but am free Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be changing in August and I will be available all day Wednesday, Thursday and the weekend! I have a fenced yard and a pool if your dog likes to go swimming! I also have a fenced dog park near my home where I can take them if they are friendly with other dogs. My cats are very friendly but if needed I can separate them as I have the space in my home to do so!
“Barbra is an awesome host. She sent multiple pictures and responded messages quickly. She picked Tommy up and brought him back. Tommy seemed very happy on her place. Thank you so much!”
“Gurdeep, is a true gem. Her and her family has been the first and so far the only other family outside of mine who has watched my dog Rocky. She communicates effectively and is super accommodating. I truly do trust and appreciate her; and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.

It was quick and simple! She Met Koko and Karol G.We left the states and let me tell you she texted us everyday pictures of our beloved fur babies and each day they looked happier and safe! Thank You Katie! You were awesome!”
“I had my dog boarded with Mr Sudesh recently, they made her feel at home and sent me a lot of pictures of her enjoying and chilling with their dog. I would definitely recommend him and would love to board mine with him in the future. Thanks for treating her with love and care, really appreciate it.”
“We went on a little trip and couldn’t take Chuck with us, I was so happy that I found Marissa, she is such a loving and caring person, Chuck felt like home with Marissa, they had a great time together, I loved the pictures that she sent to me with Chuck. He got lots of cuddles ? I’ll definitely recommend and use her services again! ???”
