“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”


“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my 2 furs I left with her for the day. She made me feel very comfortable and my pups. She was so sweet to them. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. She was very kind and loving. My girls Hazel and Cocoa came back SO tired and didn't want to leave. Made everyone very happy :) 10/10 definitely recommend”


“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”


“Natalie and her home, inside and out, are meant for the love of dogs! Natalie is intuitive with a dog's behavior and body language. Her home is meant to be a dog's BnB and sanctuary. Inside is AC and temperature controlled, with lots of toys and sensory items for any pooch. Outdoors, fenced yard, nature, and upcoming upgrades/renovations just for dogs... Our Oscar loved Natalie, got lost in her space, and stayed with her when they went on walks. We will all be back!”


“This was our first time using rover, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a stranger but Sandra was super helpful in guiding us through the process. From the second Sandra grabbed Yogi into her arms I knew she would be ok. We received updates with pics throughout the day. This may seam like a small detail but, when I picked up Yogi, Sandra poured water into her cupped hand so Yogi could drink, that said a lot to me. She really cares about the dogs. I would absolutely use her again.”


About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 and was given my miniature Australian Shepard at that age. She passed in 2020 and although I havent had another dog since, I am happy and comfortable around dogs. I work at an animal hospital on the West side and love it. I worked at AMC for two years as a veterinary assistant which confirmed for me I am in the right field. I am currently SAH so I have ample time to walk pets/ pet sit for anyone that needs assistance in their everyday lives. As long as I have notice I can manage anything I make sure I have many toys and bowls of water/food for the pets. I know about mannerisms for pets and am comfortable giving space or playing with pets that need it. All depends on what they want/ are comfortable with

About: Hi, I'm Manuela I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I've also volunteered as a foster home for dogs rescued from high-risk shelters, so I have experience with pups from all kinds of backgrounds — especially those needing a little extra love and patience. At home, I live with my sweet, spayed female dog named Mocca. She's very friendly and gets along well with others, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to play with and feel at ease around! Whether you're looking for a day sitter or need someone you can trust while you're away, I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like family. I also speak Spanish, so feel free to reach out in either language! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m also available to go for a walk or take a trip to the dog park since it’s only 5 min away from home. We also have a fenced yard, giving your pup a safe and secure space to play, explore, and burn off some energy while being safe.

About: I’m a mommy of two furbabies, Freya and Medea, the chihuahua sis. My husband and I are both animal lovers and have own dogs our whole life and we are excited to offer a safe and caring experience for your furbaby when needed! Note: Freya and Medea dislike cats, therefore, we are unable to take any cat guests. I do apologize for this inconvenience. I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule where I work from home most of the times so your furbaby will hardly be left alone. If I have to go into the office, it would be no more than 4 hours (once or twice a week at most). If guest pet ever need to be left alone, you will be notified ahead of time and our furbabies will be separated in a different room. We have a ginormous fenced in backyard that your furbaby can roam around throughout the day with our two 10-yo laid back-couch potatoes chihuahua sisters, Freya and Medea. I’m a helicopter dog mom so rest assured no pups will be left outside with no supervision. Pups are allowed on furnitures, welcomed to sleep with us, and will never be crated (unless instructed otherwise). We are homebodies and have plenty of time to entertain and love on your furbaby! Please feel free to reach out to inquire for our availability! We strive to provide the best care for our fur-guests. Spending time away from human-parents and being in a stranger home can be a stressful time, we will do our best to make them feel like a part of our pack. To provide the safest stay, we only take in fur-guests from the same family at a given time.

“Alexis is THE BEST. She always comes through last minute and our dog Omelette loves her. I trust her completely with my girl and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Alexis!”


About: Our pets change our lives for the better and I want to make sure they’re well taken care of too. By making connections via talking, playing, training, and grooming I pride myself in providing full care for my furry friends. I make training fun and learn their individual strengths! Pet care is an essential part in my daily routine. Each day begins by walking my pup, refreshing her water and food bowls. At the end of the day, I’m cleaning and prepping to start out routine over, putting toys away and doing our last walk of the night. I love taking my pups out downtown or to the dog park. If it’s dog-friendly, why aren’t we bringing the beans?! Everyone is always happy, fed, hydrated, and well played with. Pet hygiene and environmental cleanliness go hand in hand. I like to make sure I’m keeping my home clean for my pets. After all they play, lounge, and sleep in our home. The least we can do is make sure the space is free of dangerous objects or potential choking hazards. We also use pet gates in our home to ensure pet safety when cooking/cleaning/moving furniture.

“This was our first week leaving our Zeusy boy with Kira and Brian, and we couldn’t thank them enough. They treated Zeus like he was their own and updated us every other hour with the cutest photos. Zeus looks so happy when he stays with them and not a lot of people can handle his energy, but they do it with a smile on. We really appreciate the time and care you put into watching our boy. I truly won’t trust anyone else to watch him. We look forward to bringing Zeus by again! :)”

“Heather is so wonderful with pets, she cared for my dog while I was away. She was so good to her, taking her out on walks and feeding her at her proper times. She was kind, and my dog was safe and happy in her care. I may be biased as a friend, but she is also a fellow dog owner, and her dog is so well loved. She plays, spends time, properly feeds, and walks her dog on a nice schedule. That dog of hers is the happiest baby I've ever seen when Heather's around. Sincerely, I would reach out to her again.”

Monica P.
“Hey there, I want to talk about my mom, Monica – she's awesome with pets, especially small dogs like Lhasa Apsos and Yorkshire Terriers. I've known her forever, and she's really good at taking care of animals. My mom has been looking after pets for a long time, and she's really into it. It's not just a job for her – she loves animals. Whether it's giving them a bath, feeding them or just chilling with them, my mom always makes sure they're happy. And they give her happiness, too. What's cool about my mom is that she's not only great with dogs, but she also helped out in 4-H clubs for eight years. She was our 4-H mom, helping teach kids how to take care of goats and guinea pigs. It's pretty awesome how much she cares about showing kids how to be responsible with their pets. And guess what? My mom knows a lot about breeding and raising Holland Lop Rabbits. She was like an expert in making sure the rabbits were healthy and happy. She's always been serious about taking care of animals the right way. My mom is a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to Yorkshire Terriers. She has a special place in her heart for them, and you can tell she really understands what they need. She even helped us train our dogs and make sure they behave well, and took us to dog obedience, dog training and dog agility classes. My sister and I showed Yorkies and even were invited to compete at NY State Fair. One of my mom’s favorite things to do is to take our Yorkshire Terrier for a walk outdoors in nature. One of our Yorkies actually used to say ‘walk walk’! I honestly think my mom is the best person to take care of people’s pets. She's been doing it for a long time, and she really knows her stuff. If you have any questions or need more info, feel free to ask me. Cheers, Dylan”
