“Leslie consistently sends updates and photos with what's going on, making it such a relief when having to travel knowing my pup is being well cared for. I appreciate her care and consideration!”


“We left our dog with Ada and Micheli for two weeks and it was such a wonderful experience. They cared for him so well and he was very happy when we picked him up. They sent us photos and updates of him every day. You can easily tell how much they enjoy caring for pets. We will be happy to leave our Bentley with them anytime!”


“Kasia went above and beyond caring for our dog Penny. When she wouldn’t eat, Kasia thoughtfully prepared rice and egg to make sure she was happy and healthy. She was so attentive, gentle, and loving, our pup was truly in the best hands. Her boyfriend was also wonderful and patient, and I received beautiful daily photos that gave me so much peace of mind.”


“Scott, did an amazing job taking care of my 10 year old lab, My dog requires two injections of insulin a day and two additional medications, he followed the instructions to a tee. I would highly recommend Scott for boarding or taking care of your dog. He also send us photos through out and updates on how he was doing. … Eduardo”



“Cara and Dan were great! Their care for my mini poodle was awesome, communication with them was easy plus they sent a few pictures. And their home and property seemed very clean and well kept.”


“This is the 3rd time my dog has been in the care of Fritz and honestly, so happy I leave her in his care everytime. He's trustworthy and very communicative. I 100% will keep him as my dog's caretaker. Thank you again Fritz!”



“Cate was such an attentive, doting host for our Buddy. Truly the best in the 3 years that I have been using DogVacay/Rover! She was very responsive from the beginning and flexible to arrange a meet and greet. Buddy and my family immediately had a positive impression of Cate, her family, and her nice home with spacious yard for dogs to play. Everyday, Cate would send me sweet messages and upwards of 6-8 pictures of how much fun he was having there. Buddy was so happy playing with her boys and taking long walks along the canal. Every new picture update put a big smile on my face to see that he was in such good hands. Cate makes an effort to give 1:1 attention to any dog she watches over, so she was thoughtful to ask if Buddy minded that his last day may overlap with another dog's first day. Luckily for us, our dog loves company so his stay became a fun-filled play date under her watchful eye. I appreciate that someone in her family was at home with him at all times. Buddy ended up bonding with her so well that he would follow her to the bathroom and wait at the door while she showered. Hilarious! Overall, Cate set a high standard for dog sitters because of she treated my dog as if he were part of her family and kept me updated several times a day. I wouldn't go to anyone else in the Rochester area.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. She was so kind and reassuring, and I could tell right away that Molly was in great hands. Meghan sent updates that really put me at ease, and Molly looked so happy and relaxed. It felt like she was staying with a friend or family member.”


“Natha was very communicative and took great care of Brody. He had a great time playing with both her Aussies and came home very tired (which if you have an aussie, you know is a beautiful thing). She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay.”


“Samantha and her family were excellent and attentive to our two fur babies. She maintained the schedule we keep for them at home so it was very easy for them to transition once we got them back. They had full range of her home and was able to play and be themselves. We highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a good sitter and we’ll most definitely be using her again in the future!”


“I am so happy i came across miss Deb! I was nervous because Birkin is a puppy and she’s never been overnight with anyone. Birkin loved her right away, as did i. You can tell she really loves the pups. She has a very nice enclosed yard and that made me feel my pup is safe. I needed to extend the date and she was flexible. Highly recommend!!!”


“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”


“Lourdes is AWESOME!!! Teddy stayed with her for 3 nights and I think he wants to go back. lol. When I went to drop Teddy off, she gave me a tour of her house to let me know what kind of environment/setup she has. She also let me meet some of her family members who are also very sweet. While Teddy was staying with her, I got 22 pictures and multiple videos through out the stay to let me know Teddy is doing just fine. She also sent me texts throughout the stay just to let me know how Teddy is doing. During the night, she even put a little sweater on Teddy to make sure he doesn’t get cold. My family and I were going to Canada and I was super nervous because I was going so far away, but Lourdes definitely made me at ease and my family enjoyed every single pictures and vidoes she sent us. She is going to be on the top of my very short list of people and places that I can trust Teddy with.”


“She watched over my cat for a couple of hours and was amazing. Updated me with pictures and videos making sure he was okay. He loved the pets and attention from her. Definitely would recommend!!”


“Haley and her fur babies were amazing hosts to my little blind guy Luca. Always sending pictures and updates. Thank you so much for the peace of mind I got while having him stay with you.”


“Kianna took in our dog last minute and treated her like family. We received regular updates and she went above and beyond to take great care. When we unexpectedly had to extend Sara's stay Kianna was very accommodating. We received darling drawings of Sara from her kids as well. We will definitely use Kianna's services again!”


“Hannah and her family are excellent with our dog Lux. Lux has so much fun and comes home so happy and fulfilled! We love seeing the pictures and fun things that they do with our dog during her stays.”
