1. Eleanor L.

“Eleanor was great!! We booked last minute with her after our dog had a surgery and couldn’t be around other dogs. She was super loving, went on tons of walks with him, and even cooked chicken and rice for him! He seemed very happy and settled in when we picked him up. She was also communicative throughout the stay. We will book with her again!”


2. Anthony M.
“Anthony exceeded my expectations with exceptional care for my dog! His communication was top-notch, and the abundance of photos provided peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook him!”




3. Iliana A.



“Rusty clearly love Iliana! She was great with daily photo updates and keeping him bundled during his multiple outdoor walks. Appreciated that she let him have his space from other pups and giving him all the love and cuddles we couldn't give him from afar. Her place was also super convenient to pop in/out of next to the B/D. Rusty will def have his next staycation with her when we're on our next trip.”


4. Emma S.

“Emma took amazing care of Nova for the week! She was easy to communicate with, shared daily updates and kept Nova on her regular schedule. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter!”


5. Drew T.


“Drew was great I booked last minute. Drew is very calm. My dog can be anxious but he was not with Drew. Drew took him on short walks as we had discussed and sent pics. My job ran overtime and he was very nice and flexible about my late pick up My dog came and home very relaxed and happy. Thank you Drew!”


6. Susan S.

“Look no further. You have arrived at your destination! Susan was the most warm and loving pet parent to my Loki while my husband and I enjoyed a much needed vacation. Selfishly, I am reluctant to recommend as we'd like to keep her all to ourselves. However, I am more than happy to promote & share the love! Susan's maternal energy truly puts us at ease. She treated Loki as her own by feeding him organic produce, brushing his teeth, combing his fur & even cleaned the gook out of eyes daily! They enjoyed multiple walks per day and socialized at parks nearby which kept him happy. We also received a few pics and videos throughout, which made us very happy! Thank you, Susan! We thoroughly enjoyed our time away worry-free. You're the best!!❤️”


7. Alexis C.


“Excellent sitter!!!! I felt very comfortable with Alexis from the moment I met her. She responded quick into setting up a meet n greet and was able to accommodate my schedule. Once I left on my trip, she provided me updates as well as ensuring me Porsha was doing great before I went off the grid with communication. She was able to accommodate my needs of having Porsha dropped off before I came home. Highly recommend and will use her on my future travels.”


8. Seoyoung & Donguk J.

“As a previous Rovr dog sitter, I hold a higher bar for others when boarding my two dogs. Sep young and her husband could not have been ANY better - they took our dogs to central park, lots of long walks (completely unprompted by us), and sent lots of timely updates and photos. And only a 30 minute drive from Jersey City!! We’ll totally be using them again - thank you!!!!”


9. Daniela P.

“Best sitter we have ever had. So good with our dog while we were away and gave us amazing updates throughout our trip. Daniela also walks Arnie for us a few days a week. Her care and attention are so appreciated. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pet”


10. Lal L.


“I really appreciated how communicative Lal was. She sent lots of photos and videos and it felt very reassuring. Lal is very kind and I know she put in great effort to make Jaz comfortable.”


11. Kate & Christopher O.

“Kate and Christopher were amazing with our 15 year old shih tzu Ernie. It is very hard for us to leave him as he gets older but we felt confident leaving him in their hands. We received daily photos and Ernie was very happy and well cared for.”




12. John C.

“John really cares about my dog Barney. When I leave Barney with him, I know he’s in great hands. I have left Barney with John twice now when going out of town for trips and it went great. I highly recommend him.”


13. Krista R.

“Krista is such a great caregiver. She’s taken amazing care of my dog Pippa many times. She sends me frequent updates with pictures. In all of the pictures I can tell how happy she is, which reassured me while I’m away. Highly recommend Krista for your pet!”


14. Claire H.


“Claire took such great care of Cookie! She sent frequent “pupdates” which was very helpful and gave us pawrents peace of mind. I would highly recommend her services!”


15. David R.

“David is absolutely wonderful. He is so kind and communicative— we always felt like our pup was in the best of hands and we felt such peace of mind — which is priceless. He sent fantastic and frequent photos and kept us up to date on the adventures of the day! He was even able to help us out with an unexpected cancelled flight situation. Bottom line — we can not recommend David enough!”


16. Monica M.

“Monica was wonderful. She offered frequent pictures and updates, I found her just fabulous to work with. She cares for my Millie, and offered her all the belly rubs she could ask for (if dogs could really talk). I will absolutely be contacting her again when I need to go out of town.”


17. Andrea & Fanny P.

“Andrea and Fanny took wonderful care of Billy. They sent friendly, regular updates, showing how happy and relaxed she was with them. It was clear they have a true love for dogs, and they genuinely connected with her and nurtured her throughout the stay. The entire interaction was smooth from start to finish, with no issues at meet-up, pick-up, or drop-off, and my wife and I appreciated their flexible schedule. Thanks to their attentiveness and connection with Billy, we were able to enjoy our holiday completely worry-free. Thank you, Andrea and Fanny!”




18. Katherine I.


“As always, Kat is the best! She was willing to take Charlie when I had last minute travel and then was willing to take him an extra night when I thought I’d miss my travel home. Thanks, Kat!”


19. Jacqueline B.

“Jacqueline was a lucky find at the last minute scrambling for dog boarding when my usual had to cancel last min due to illness. She sent photos and was responsive. You can tell she clearly loves dogs! She has such a calming presence and big heart, perfect for this. My rescue struggles with reactivity on the leash but she was able to handle him anyway. She does care for multiple so if that is a concern just check first. I'd highly recommend!! And would use her again.”




20. Saylor M.


“Five stars!!! I couldn’t even begin to tell you how friendly and professional Saylor is. Handing off my three month old puppy to a stranger was definitely stressful, but Saylor‘s passion and love for animals put me at ease. With many updates from Saylor throughout my puppy’s overnight stay, I was reassured she was in great hands. Definitely booking another stay with Saylor in the future for my fur baby.”
