“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“Chelsea was awesome! We can definitely tell our dog Eden had a great time during her 8 day stay! They were very communicative sending pics and videos. Gave great love and care which is why we will definitely be booking again when the time comes!”
“5 stars to Stephanie and her family! I had been a little concerned leaving my 7-month-old for two weeks, especially because she had just been spayed. However it was quickly clear that my pup was in good hands. Appreciate the twice daily updates and involving all family members in taking care of my pup! *****”
“Lori worked with us and my dog even though had a difficult time while there and was a bit more challenging than I had realized he would be. Fox had grown to like her in the 5 days he was there and gave her a nice "hug" before he left.”
“I can’t thank Christopher & Chelsea enough. As a nervous dog owner who has never left her pets with anyone, but family he truly went above and beyond for Aggie and Eddie. Christopher cares about dogs as if they were his own and it shows. My dogs were happy and seemed right at home when I picked them up. I can’t say enough good things!”
“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”
“Sylva & Mark were absolutely perfect. They took such good care of my boys and kept me updated daily on how they were doing. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my boys. If you ever need a sitter I would 1000% recommend them. I don't trust many people to watch my pups but I would send my Buddy & Connor to them anytime. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for taking care of them.”
“Catherine is very friendly and professional. My dog always comes home happy and well cared for. She provides regular updates and photos, which I appreciated. Plus, she made sure he had plenty of exercise and playtime—exactly what he needed!”
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs. I had a Shitzu named Bella who I rescued in 2016 and she was older and had some health issues. I gave her the best life! She passed in Feb 2019 and will always be in my heart! Ava was born in 2020 and I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She is my love❤️ I treat every dog as I would my own with love and care❤️ Reach out and schedule a meet and greet before booking and we can get to know each other and introduce the dogs❤️ My current schedule is I am home full time. Ava loves to play and we go out several times a day for potty and play in my fenced in back yard, I have a fenced in yard. My dog Ava is 5 years old and she loves adults and children. She is very friendly and would love to play with your dog.
“Mellysa was amazing with our high energy puppy. She was available even though it was a last minute booking and sent pictures and follow up throughout the stay. Our puppy had so much fun and came home exhausted from all the play. Pur puppy loved her dogs and cried when she had to leave. Highly recommend for a safe and loving sitter while you are away.”
“Lincoln loved his stay at Anna’s! Anna was very communicative and flexible when our departure time changed a bit. Lincoln met new friends to play with and was a happy boy when we picked him up! We love the goody bag and doggy report card we received at the end of his stay! We will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC !!!! That’s the words I would use to describe the experience we had with sending our Koby to stay with Patty! She is so welcoming and friendly. She kept us up to date on how our little guy was and sent TONS of pictures. This is our first puppy and our first time away from him and it was such a relief to know he was safe and in good hands! We definitely will be using Patty again for any outings of any kind!! THANK YOU PATTY!!!!”
“Excellent very pleased w everything... lollipop seemed to have enjoyed her stay..perfect yard.. Chrissy is a very pleasant person would recommend her and use her again in a heartbeat..”
“Firstly and most important, Hazel was safe and sound and had a fantastic time (she didn’t really want to leave!). Annette provided daily updates along with photos and video’s that key me know Hazel was doing great, and I had zero stress about leaving my 8 mo old puppy in her care. I’ll 100% use Annette again when I’m in need of a boarder. Highly recommend!”
Colonie dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Chelsea! Our Bernese Mountain dog, Clover, stayed with her for 10 nights. I was worried about leaving her for so long, but was so happy we found Chelsea to care for her. We received daily photos and updates and it looked like she was having the time of her life. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Chelsea again.
This was my first time using Rover, and I really lucked out! Kristine and Bob were, in a word, awesome!! They were very gracious, have a very nice home, and my golden retriever took to them (and their own dog) immediately!! Kristine sent me lots of pictures of my dog while I was away, and gave me updates on how he was doing! My "buddy" had a great time and was SO well cared for!! I plan on using them next time I need boarding for him: I would highly recommend them!!
We left our Basset Hound, Franklin and Pug, Esther at Enzo’s Friends for a 6 day vacation and without a doubt could not be happier!!! We seldom leave our pups and were quite anxious about what to expect. That said, we had a meet and greet a few months ago and felt reassured about leaving them with Stephanie. We were allowed in her home, met the family and went over how she would take care of the two dogs. With the big back yard to play in, other dogs to romp with and then being assimilated into the family, we felt extremely comfortable leaving them. What followed next was fantastic! While away we got several photos during the day and a written up dates both morning and night, describing how the night went and how the day played out. Every picture sent was clear that the dogs were having a blast. We couldn’t be more happy!! Stephanie and family went above and beyond taking such good care of Franklin and Esther. Franklin has some minor medical(skin and ear) issues that Stephanie was more than happy to attend to. We will definitely be using Stephanie again. It’s worth the almost hour drive to get to her, knowing they were and will be well taken of !!!!
Korinne absolutely couldn’t have been a better caretaker for my pup. She stayed in close contact with me throughout my trip and sent plenty of pics and videos so I could be sure that my doggie was having an amazing time over there (probably even more fun than she has at home!). Korinne has a really comfortable space with a luxurious backyard and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough!
