“Jennifer is very communicative and sent regular updates during the stay! I felt comfortable knowing my little puppy was in good hands and well-cared for. She was also very accommodating with my very active, teething pup. Would highly recommend for a long-term stay.”
“Sean and Aoife were wonderful dog boarders and kept me updated about how my girl was doing for two nights. They were very understanding when she was afraid of their cat and allowed them to get used to each other, and sent videos and photos that put me at ease. Finally, my dog was so relaxed when I picked her up, she had a very nice time and seemed settled from the nice long walks and cuddles. Thank you both, we will definitely rebook!”
“Words could never be enough! Absolutely amazing. Great communication with pictures! She also has cool stuff for your pup to keep them comfortable. I was extremely worried I have a friendly pitbul who is very hyper and can be overstimulated.. but due to her calming home my pup felt comfortable. She even got him to poop outside regularly. She put our family mind at ease, especially being this was our first time with boarding. Definitely would recommend and will be using her service again. Thank you so much!”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“Absolutely wonderful. I know Fendi is a lot to deal with not in a bad way just a BIG BABY way lol and I could tell ny baby was well taken care of I couldn't be more happier ❤️”
“Took wonderful care of our little Penny. She came back happy and well cared for, and John was perfectly communicative before and during her stay. Would highly recommend trusting John with your fur baby.”
“Omg what an amazing first time experience. I am a new dog mom an I was so nervous to leave Kobe. Stephanie and Corey are simply amazing. So welcoming and inviting. Kobe had an amazing g time with his new friend Luna. Again thank you both for taking care my baby Kobe. We definitely need a play date soon ???”
“Grace and Wu were so kind and took care of our kitten. It was our first experience with leaving our pet but quickly our minds were put at ease. Grace and I were in daily communication. She let me know how our cat was adapting and sent several pictures a day. This really was a great experience and we will definitely use them again. Thank you Grace and Wu!”
“Great communication with pick up and drop off, and she was so sweet with my chili girl. I got pics and videos while I was away as well. Would absolutely re book in the future.”
“Sherise went over and beyond for Lucky in every way. Sent frequent updates and just took the best care of him and he was so happy. We are definitely going to use Sherise whenever possible to watch Lucky when we’re out of town. Super grateful to her and her partner.”
“Eleanor treated my recently adopted rescue pup with all the attention and support she needs to continue adjusting to NYC life. She was incredibly communicative, immediately understood my dog’s temperament and asked for detailed information about my dog’s daily routine to ensure a comfortable stay. Very grateful for having connected with such a dog sitting pro!”
“Jennifer was great with our 13 y.o. dog for 3 days. Our dog can be a bit wary of new environments, but she seemed comfortable in Jennifer’s care. We appreciated the timely updates and how she communicated any concerns right away. The first day is always an adjustment, but Jennifer was understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Giselle took great care for my dog while I was an away for some time. She kept in contact with me every day, she sent me videos and pictures of my dog daily. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Kessy was amazing with Foley! I had a last minute cancellation 10 days before leaving for Europe and Kessy was happy to help me out. Foley made herself right at home and got tons of snuggles from Kessy in return. She was responsive, polite and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend and book Kessy again!”
“Yusuf is a life saver. I messaged him super late from the animal hospital about care the next morning and he was so responsive. He was able to watch my dog who just had surgery and was AMAZING. you can tell how much he loves dogs and there’s no one else I’d rather have watch my pup!”
“Our dog's recent visit with Katrina was the first time we have worked with her. We are very happy with Katrina. She took care of our large dog for four days in her home. We received plenty of photos of our dog enjoying her time with Katrina. Drop off and pick up were easy and exactly as arranged. No issues at all.”
“Diane was fabulous with our dog Perry! We left him with her for 6 days and he had a wonderful time exploring the city and the countryside too. She sent lots of photos and kept us updated throughout our trip. She also picked him up from us and delivered him back to our building on our return, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Diane and hope she can babysit for Perry again!”
“Michaela treated my pup with so much care. Dewey stayed with her and Kip for 5 days and we received frequent updates. Dewey loved her time boarding with Michaela!”
Fordham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sherise was great! First time using Rover & I needed a last minute sitter for a night as I had to travel. Sherise was very nice and accommodating. She kept me up to speed with whatever Loki was up to and sent pictures as well. As nervous as I was to let my baby be taken care of by someone who isn’t me, I knew he was in good hands! Oh and it was a plus that she also had dogs/cats and Loki got to play a lot.
Altagracia is a complete gem!!! She’s so accommodating and helpful!! This is booking had to be changed bc of me and she was so kind and understanding. Atlagracia was very communicative during the booking process and during the actual booking. Moreover, my dog loves her!!
If there was a way for me to leave more than 5 stars I would!! Emoni was absolutely amazing! And her daughter is a great bonus! Naturally I was nervous at first because I was going on vacation for 2 weeks but Emoni made me feel so comfortable. I received daily pictures/updates and she always responded so quickly! I will definitely be using her services again!
Shaun is great! He’s always quick to respond and very reliable. He handled Grey’s specific leashing needs perfectly and followed all our instructions. We also used his pickup/dropoff service and he was perfectly punctual every time. We’ve already decided to ask him to watch Grey again in the future!
This is the second time I've used Steve to watch Sammy in the last couple of months and once again, Sam seemed to have a great time. When I was dropping him off, he actually pulled me towards the apartment and started wagging his tail as we approached. Steve sent multiple pictures and updates and Sam came home happy!
Elines is amazing! She treated Buckley as if he was her own dog from the minute she met him. She sent a lot of photos and he looked super happy and perfectly taken care of in every one! She even sent us a thank you card because she enjoyed having Buckley stay with her so much! She is fantastic and if you are lucky enough to have found her, we highly recommend that your dog stays with her!
