1. Savana R.


“Savana has been a godsend for my puppies! I work long hours and didn’t want to put my pets in a kennel. Since our first meet and greet, Savana has been professional, wonderful with my four-legged friends And they look forward to seeing her on every visit.”


2. Eryn K.

“Eryn took great care of our dog Murphy (and our house) while we were away for a long weekend in Florida for a wedding. We are new to the area and it was our first time using rover, plus our dog can be a little bit difficult… but Eryn handled his quirks with ease and stayed in close contact with us, sending updates and photos every day! Eryn is reliable, responsive, trustworthy, and great with dogs - Murphy loves her!! She kept the house clean, brought packages in for us, and even dealt with trick or treaters while we were away! Thank you Eryn, will definitely book again!!”


3. David R.

“David did an outstanding job watching our dog, Trixie. He walked her often during the day, and had her out early in the morning and well into the evening. He came to our home the day before his scheduled time to meet with us, and to see the dog. He wanted Trixie to see us together with him, so she would be comfortable knowing that he was an accepted part of our pet family. He left our home in perfect condition when we came back from a brief vacation. David is a very nice person and he is well suited with pets. I would have David back in the future when his services are again needed. Roseann and Mike b”


4. Alexis V.

“Alexis was a lifesaver! My job sent me on an assignment across the country with only 3 days notice and Alexis was able to watch my dog while I was gone, even with the short notice. She regularly kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures as well. She was great with my dog and followed all of his trainers instructions as well! I would definitely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog and will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”


5. Dianna & Shea G.

“Dianna and Shea came by to meet our two young, not-so-small dogs, Chelsea and Griffyn the day before they were going to sit for us. They seemed to immediately get along just fine and neither Dianna or Shea were deterred or even surprised by the sometimes rowdy behavior of the two dogs when playing together. While we were out they fed our dogs, played with them outside and ultimately put them to bed tired and happy. Would definitely recommend.”


6. Grayson S.

“I can't recommend Grayson enough. She was highly attentive and sent lots of pictures and updates. You can tell she really loves animals. I felt at ease leaving my boys with her for a few days and look forward to using her services again. She came by to meet them before staying here, and I just really appreciated her overall thoroughness!”


7. Anastasia A.

“I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to be your fur-child sitter! I will definitely rebook her in the future! I had to go out of the country and had no care for my beloved dog and cats. Frantic, my colleague recommended Rover. I was skeptical because I never used a pet sitter before. But I took the chance and was pleased. Anastasia was very prompt, kind and professional. She listened to what the needs of my pets were and catered to their individual personalities. She sent me frequent pictures and videos of the day and really tended to them. Anastasia was so involved, playful and loving with my them that once I returned, I can tell her presence was missed. She was playful, caring, attentive and energetic with my fur-children. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to take care of your fur-child and I will definitely rebook her in the future!”


8. Jennah R.

“Jennah did a great job with my separation anxiety ridden Pom. She gave him the attention he needed and tried everything to keep them calm for the day while I was out. She also kept me updated, which helped. I would use her again for sure.”


9. Shannon & Justin M.
“Shannon has taken care of my dog on a regular basis and he loves her. She’s good with him and has even helped train him.”


10. Helaina F.
“Helaina is the most competent & loving caregiver to our pets! Knowledgeable, punctual, reliable, responsible & devoted! She takes care of our pets as if they’re her own. Perfect in every way! We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! Thank you Helaina!”


11. Sarahi G.

“Sarahi was really wonderful - very responsible, easy to communicate with, detail oriented, and caring. We felt lucky to have her, and my somewhat frail kitty loved her.”


12. Teadie Marie F.

“Teadie did a great job with my two - she was communicative, reachable, and professional. Her 6 day stay with my two went really great! I really appreciated her and will re-book again!”


13. Mikayla R.
“I had an elderly 75lb St Bernard mix Milo who had several health issues that I would have Mikayla take care of while I was away. She did a great job keeping him happy and healthy taking him for walks every day, giving medication, and would always give him the love and attention he needed.”


14. Rebecca L.


“Rebecca was so great dog sitting our two jack russells for the week. She sent daily updates, pictures and even provided updates on our house and chickens. Look forward to using her services again.”


15. Jade Marie C.

“We could not be happier with Jade! She came to our rescue when a kennel reservation fell through and stayed in our home for four nights with our eight month old Samoyed puppy and three year old bengal cat while we traveled out of state to a family wedding. Jade exudes an immense amount of compassion and sensitivity, as well as the utmost professionalism. Her communication is awesome, and her experience/knowledge as a petsitter and caretaker of animals really shows. She took remarkable care of our beloved cat and dog, and just as importantly she cared beautifully for our house while we were away. This was our first time working with a pet sitter, and actually opening our home to someone while we weren’t there, which was totally nerve-wracking! We are so grateful that Jade was the person we connected with.”


16. Izabella G.

“Izabella was a fantastic sitter. She was very easy to communicate with and she provided daily updates. The house was left nice and tidy and our pups and cat enjoyed her stay. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs any house sitting or pet sitting needs.”


17. Michael C.
About: Hey there, dog lovers! I’m Michael, your dog’s new best friend and part-time student in liberal arts (dental hygiene) at SUNY Orange. I’m experienced with all ages, from wobbly puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pup like part of the family. Let’s connect! I am currently a part time student and freelancer that can be flexible with scheduling. My availability varies throughout the week and value early notices. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.


18. Gregory L.

“We were so pleased to have had Greg care for Boone & Gracie while we were away. Greg was very affectionate toward our pups and as a result they were both very happy upon our return. Greg is highly responsible as one dog requires medication twice daily and very conscientious about our home while we were away. We are looking forward to calling Greg again the next time we have to travel as we know Gracie & Boone will be in good hands!”


19. Moira W.

“Moira was responsive and took great care of Shoshi while we were away for a few days. She followed our directions and Shoshi seemed very happy and well cared for upon our return.”


20. Elise A.
“Elise is wonderful with animals and shares her heart with them. We were roommates for 8+ years, and I saw firsthand how she cared for her labradoodle. She was intuitive to his needs, wants and moods. They shared a deep bond. She is also always quick to help out with friends' pets and treats them like her own. She is ready to give each pet whatever he or she needs to be happy and feel loved. She is also knowledgeable, capable and respectful and would be easy to work with as a pet caregiver.”
