3. Erica M.

“Erica took such amazing care of our dog! He can be very scared and timid at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up so quickly to her! She sent us updates all throughout our vacation and we felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely use Erica for other trips and vacations!”


4. Jenni L.

“Jenni and Matt were awesome. We have two dogs and one with behavioral issues. Jenni and Matt handled the situation so gently and professionally. They knew I was anxious about leaving them and that this was my first time using Rover. They sent so many pictures for just one overnight, and were very communicative. It made me feel so comfortable knowing they were there and they genuinely seemed to care about our pups. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!”


5. Terry C.

“Terry was absolutely incredible and took the best care of our 2 kitties when we went out of town! Daily pictures and videos, so many updates and great communication! I would give her even more stars if I could. We have never felt safer leaving our babies in another's hands, and we could not recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond. :)”


6. Michaela A.

“Michaela took excellent care of my dog and cat while we were away. She took the time to meet us beforehand, provided thorough updates and we came home to happy pets and a clean apartment. Thank you, Michaela! Highly recommend!”

8. nicole v.
“Nicole takes great care of my pups! She is energetic and caring, I really couldn’t recommend her enough to take care of your furry friends!”


9. SARA K.

“Sara is fantastic! She stayed in our home with our 2 GSPs for 3 nights. They both require a little extra…medications, etc and it was no issue. Sara sent lots of pictures & is great with communication. This was my first overnight away from my girls in 10 months so I was nervous but would absolutely not hesitate to leave them in Sara’s care again!”


10. Sydney W.
“I have 4 dogs, 3 large and 1 terrier. Sydney has been watching my dogs when I leave on business trips, which is often. Sydney is a vet tech student which makes me more comfortable in case there's an emergency. One of my dogs is highly anxious with any loud noise and tries to get out of the house or into any locked room. So, one of my favorite things about Sydney is that she is always conscious of the weather and is at my home whenever there are possible storms and I haven't had to worry about damage my Bailey could do. Sydney also doesn't just watch the dogs, but is WITH them - giving lots of love and attention, playing with toys and keeping them happy and distracted. My dogs love to see Sydney and the house is always in better shape than when I've left it. I highly recommend Sydney to take care of your pets.”


11. Keira D.
“Keira has been dog walking and dog sitting for us for three years now. She is very conscientious. Our dogs love her and so look forward to when she comes. She even brings her own toys and treats at times. Also has helped out with cat sitting litter box emptying. we’ve referred her to a few other families here in the Forest Hills neighborhood. Would definitely recommend Keira! Your pets will love her. Lots of energy!”


12. Tre S.

“We loved Tre! From the minute he pulled into the driveway, we felt comfortable that he would be a great fit to care for our enthusiastic pittie mix. He asked pertinent questions and took detailed notes during the meet and greet. Our dog responded so favorably to him and the became fast friends. We highly recommend him and will definitely be working together in the future.”


13. Eileen R.
“We cannot say enough great things about the care our German Shepherd, Major, received from Eileen! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she loves and understands dogs. Major can be a bit anxious with new people, but Eileen's calm demeanor and genuine warmth made him feel right at home. Eileen went above and beyond to make sure Major was happy and comfortable. She kept us updated with photos and messages, showing us how much fun he was having. It was such a relief knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. When we picked him up, Major was happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. We will absolutely be booking with Eileen again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care. Thank you, Eileen, for treating Major like one of your own!”


14. Reid C.

“Reid agreed last minute to watch my dog on Thanksgiving, for which I was so grateful! Our dog enjoyed his day with Reid and was completely tuckered out afterwards. Thanks again Reid!”


15. Brice B.
“Brice loves animals and treats all animals as her own. She has cared for our dogs and is very tender and kind. She grew up with dogs, cats, and other animals and has experience with all kinds of animals though her various jobs. She is trustworthy, reliable, and wonderful!”


16. Maddy J.

“Maddy is the best! She just watched our dog for a week and was a huge help when we had flight delays. She also always goes above and beyond to ensure that our home and our dog child are well cared for.”


17. Justyna K.
About: I recently graduated veterinary school and I’m currently studying to take my board exams. I’d love to care for your dogs and cats while saving up for my exams! I’m available most weekends and on Wednesdays to come walk your dogs, care for your cats and any other critters you may have! I’m available on the weekends and on Wednesdays. I’m currently working at a vet hospital 4 days of the week, but I can drop by on weeknights as well. I will make sure all your pets are safe and comfortable and that their routine is as uninterrupted as possible. As a vet I know the impacts that stress can have on the health of animals.


18. Alex G.
About: I have had dogs of all kinds my entire life and animals have always kept my mind busy. I need them just as much as they need us. I am always home without a strict schedule, so any routine you present for your pet will be pretty easy to adapt to and follow. I have a huge fenced in back yard that allows the animals to get the exercise that’s needed and multiple crates of different sizes if needed.


19. Julia S.
“Julia always puts animals first when taking care of them. They are the top priority for her and I’ve never seen someone care so much for animals they’ve only just met. Julia is a pet caregiver who goes above and beyond in every respect and is the best choice for taking care of your pet.”


20. Justin & Stephanie W.
“Justin took great care of my Fiona. He sent me lots of pictures and videos. This was the first time she has stayed away from me but he did great with her. I will definitely contact Justin again when I need a dog sitter.”
