“I can't praise Melissa enough. She took excellent care of Chloe. She was also willing to adjust my dates if I decided to stay out of town an extra day. I'm already looking into booking Melissa again for our next vacation. 😀”


“Absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old pup. She communicated promptly and well. Very pleased with how my pup was cared for and returned home!”


“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.”


“ABSOLUTELY love Alena keeping my fur baby. She spoils him tooooo much...lol. He comes home super happy & energetic. I'll only book with someone else if she's not available.”


“Michelle gave our Gunner awesome care! She will give you updates & pictures multiple times a day. Great communication w/drop off & pick up times, and w/ general communication!! Will definitely be using her service again!”


“Miranda is such a blessing. She takes care of my dog when I go away, and she always does an incredible job! I always know he’s well taken care of!”


“Mindy took great care of my pup. She sent constant status updates & pictures throughout the day, made sure he got plenty of exercise, and even did some training!”


“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!”


“I enjoyed working with Annalisa and my dog liked staying in her place. A large backyard is the right fit for my big pitbull. My pet was treated with love and attention. Will definitely leave my pop with them again and recommend to others.”


“We needed someone to watch our dog last minute and Kimberly was there to help! She was very quick to respond, accommodating, and took great care of our girl. She had a wonderful time and we would definitely book again.”


“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”


“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!”


“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”


“Amanda, is the best sitter in Buffalo. She is great with my dog. She communicates really well and Selena loves going there for boarding. Thank you so much!!!!”


“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”


“Becky was very warm and inviting to Nacho into her home. Becky’s space is cute. Her dogs and 2 cats were just as nice to Nacho. I enjoyed the updated and prompt responses to my inquiries. I would highly recommend Becky to watch your dogs or cats”



“Ruth did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She kept me updated and even sent pictures. I am excited to know I have a new pet sitter!!”


“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”



“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.??”


“Allyn was a wonderful sitter and extremely patient and flexible, with several things I had going on at the time we booked!! I was all over the place, due to several personal matters and mishaps, and Allyn remained friendly, open, and accommodating throughout, which I REALLY appreciated. She also handled my Sienna with wonderful tender, love, and care, providing updates and pics and even applying my optional tip to play jazz music for her while Allyn was away!! I highly recommend Allyn and would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Allyn!! <3”
