“Cathy is the best!!! She is such a sweetheart and truly loves animals 🐾💕 Our puppy Pumpkin had the best time at her house playing with the other dogs & came home nice and sleepy for us from all the fun she had at Cathys while we were away. Cathy made sure to send us daily updates with pictures of Pumpkin which completely helped calm my nerves. We will be using her again for sure!!! Thank you SO much!”
“Evelien took such excellent care of our dog! He came home so happy, and you could tell he was so well cared for. Evelien was communicative and sent wonderful daily updates on how he was doing, what he was up to, and photos of his stay. We would definitely use her again!”
“Ann was really great with our pup. It was his first boarding experience and it went very smoothly, I can tell my dog was happy and would have no problems staying with Ann again in the future. Ann kept us updated throughout the stay and overall was very professional.”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“It’s the third time I’ve booked with Priscilla and what can I say that hasn’t been said in all her amazing reviews?! She is the best - when we book with her; it’s true peace of mind that Watson is being taken care of. She truly loves dogs and doesn’t treat watching him like a chore. So grateful for her and the daily pictures of Watson having the best time of his life.”
“The experience with Yuchen was wonderful. She was amazing with Shalom and sent updates with pics, and videos throughout the stay. Shalom seemed happy when picked up. Yuchen’s care and attention were greatly appreciated and I definitely rebook again in the future. Thank you!!!”
“This was the first time I was boarding my almost 13 year old anxious rescue dog. I was quite nervous but Lauryn eased my mind from the meet and greet a few weeks before. It was obvious how much she cared for dogs. My Shiloh was with Lauryn for 9 nights and did so well. Lauryn sent me pictures everyday and it was clear Shiloh made himself at home and was well cared for. The 9 nights included an unexpected night due to a flight cancellation. Lauryn was flexible and gladly cared for Shiloh for another night. Lauryn's home was very nice and accommodating for dogs and she is in a safe residential town. I know Shiloh misses her already and I look forward to having Lauryn sit for Shiloh again.”
“I couldn’t be more satisfied with the way they took care of my dog. My English bulldog spent 7 days with them and during this period they kept me informed about her, they sent pictures, videos 2-3 times per day. It was her first time and they did everything needed to ensure she feel safe, comfortable and loved as she is in her home. I definitely recommend them”
“Vinny was absolutely great with our 2 dogs. He was so attentive - providing us with updates and pictures throughout their stay. He is thorough when asking about a dog’s needs before the visit. Would highly recommend!”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Having not travelled in a while I was VERY nervous to leave my pups with a sitter but Chris and Lady were great! They gave me regular updates and reports which put my mind at ease. My pups enjoyed being part of their family and came home happy. I would highly recommend Chris and Lady”
“We can't say enough about Jesus. We needed a booking at the last minute, and Jesus happened to be nearby AND available. That was already too good to be true, but our dog is very anxious around strangers, and it takes her some time to get used to people. We had an immediate meet and greet, dropped her off the next day, and prayed. While we were on the plane, Jesus sent us a picture of Baily on her leash in the yard with her tail wagging and what appeared to be a smile. Jesus is the new dog whisperer! LOL”
“Tammy made both of our dogs feel safe and comfortable from the moment we walked in. She obviously loves dogs and her home is clean, bright, and safe for pups. She responds very quickly and cheerfully and sent us great photos. Definitely planning to book Tammy again.”
“Caring family who took our Obie in and treated him very well. Yesenia sent videos of Obie playing, making us feel good and confident that he was having a great time.”
“Lucy was awesome! Always friendly and kept in communication at all times with pictures and videos of our fur baby. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Lucy!”
“Kun was a beyond amazing sitter from start to finish! Taj had such a great time there, through boarding, that I cannot wait to bring him again! He updated me with numerous photos and videos with them spending a fantastic time together! Including my dog with his Maltese as well! Would definitely recommend if you have a smaller pet!”
“Based on Eric's excellent reviews I had no hesitation about leaving Bob with him for a few days. Eric has been great throughout the entire experience; pre-booking through pickup on my return. He is easy to communicate with and provided daily updates (pictures) of Bob. He clearly took great care of my dog and I would happily rebook with him for future teips. His home is also conveniently located close to Newark airport and off-site parking lots.”

Emerson dog parents share their Rover experiences
I use the Rovers services for the first time. I was very happy that Tammy watched my dog Lucy. I was very relaxed on my vacation knowing that Lucy was in good hands when. I met Tammy on a meet and greet I was confident that Lucy would be in good hands while I was on vacation. When I picked her up It seemed like she didn’t want to leave Tammy‘s house. I would highly recommend Tammy and will use her in the future.
Lorena was such an amazing sitter for our two month old puppy. We were anxious to leave her for a week but when we met Lorena we knew Riley would be in good hands. Lorena sent us constant updates with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will 100% be back and I am sure Riley is already looking forward to it ☺️ can’t recommend Lorena enough 💗
Kelly is a great dog sitter. She really cares and learns about your pet. My dog needs alot of care, attention and she does that and more. She is very tuned in to the needs of my dog. I love the morning and night pictures and updates. Right before we left on vacation, our dog was on antibiotics. Without hesitation Kelly helped give her the medicine. She is a great dog sitter.
