1. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer watched my dog for 4 days while I was out of then. We did a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure all dogs got along, which they did! They also have separate areas for dogs that would prefer not to overly socialize. My dog had a wonderful time playing, swimming and taking walks with Jennifer and crew. Jennifer was great at communicating daily and sent lots of pictures and videos. It was clear that nacho was having the best time. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will absolutely book again.”
2. Kathy & Tim L.
“It's hard to put into words how amazing Kathy and Tim are. I think my wife said it best when she said they weren't watching our dog. They were CARING for our dog. Please do yourself a favor and stop scrolling now and book a reservation with this amazing couple. I really do believe this was the whole reason why Rover was created. To be able to leave your loved one in the care of someone who will love them just as much. We were able to enjoy our time away and receive continuous communication about our dogs stay with Kathy and Tim.”
3. Ashley S.
“They did a great job taking care of my pup! He normally takes a while to warm up to strangers and gets stressed easily, but I could tell they made him very comfortable and he had lots of fun during his stay. He’s not the easiest dog to sit since he has medications and has certain behaviors in new environments, but they handled everything like pros and I got lots of updates throughout the day. They truly care about your pup and I could not have asked for better people to trust my dog with!”
4. Hiedi L.
“Heidi was so great with our fur babies! She sent so many pictures and kept us informed. She is also so knowledgeable. Our babies enjoyed hanging out with Kenzie who is also so sweet and adorable”
5. Hanna R.
“Hanna was great! My puppy came home tired and happy! She even sent us a photo of our pup playing with his new friends. Great first experience using Rover.”
6. Alara P.
“Very thoughtful sitter and sends updates if requested throughout stay. Had other dogs around as well and let's them all play together, but does have a bunch of baby gates to separate the dogs if needed, so each dog could have it's own little section of the house if there are issues with the other dogs. My dog seemed quite happy when we came to pick her up the next day.”
7. Luca P.
“Luca was a great sitter for both our dogs! He sent us daily pictures and updates and treated our pups like they were his own with long walks and stimulating play time. He was even kind enough to drive them to a dog park outside of town to help tire them out and change up the scenery. We will absolutely use him again when we need to leave town in the future.”
8. Pamela C.
“Pam is wonderful and I could tell our sweet girl loved it at Pam’s place. I’ve already rebooked! So thankful to have found her! She sent me photos and a video to assure me my beagle was doing well! Thank you Pam!”
9. Laura M.
“Laura is fabulous! My dog had a nice time overnight and was well taken care of. I know my dog felt comfortable with Laura because she ate her food while there, and she doesn’t always eat while boarding somewhere, especially someplace new. Laura sent several photos, shared about their potty break and games they played. We anticipate boarding with Laura again.”
10. Andrea I.
“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”
11. Destiny M.
“Archie had a great 2 day stay with Destiny! Destiny was great at sending updates, and was patient with my anxiety as this was our first experience using a pet sitter. She clearly sets up her house and life to take the best care of your pup. She seems very savvy about dog behavior and what to expect when your pup is away from his normal environment.”
12. Ashley K.
“I appreciated Ashley’s gracious flexibility as I had to change my travel plans several times due to unforeseen circumstances. My dog ZuZu seemed to get a good vibe from Ashley’ home right off the bat and just walked up to the door on her own. Lots of nice outdoor space for play and lounging on the lawn. ZuZu is usually a pretty anxious traveler so I was relieved that staying at a new house for a minute didn’t add to her stress. Ashley and her family will be an easy first choice when we travel againvyy to o the Ithaca area, which my family and I plan to do next year for the 2023 Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance. Thanks again, Ashley!”
13. Robert & Eileen Y.
“Robert and Eileen did such a great job with our two dogs! Their dogs played with ours really nicely, and we now have two, very tired, happy good boys!”
14. Beth W.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better situation than the one we had with Beth. She made our dog (Alee) feel right at home. Alee had freedom to move around, a comfortable home and lots of attention. It was a wonderful few days for her. I highly recommend Beth- a great dog sitter!”
15. Janet C.
“Our little guy loved his stay and although he can have some separation anxiety he was well taken care of by Janet...we would definitely use her services again!”
16. Susan T.
“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
17. Darlene C.
“Darlene, Chris and their 2.5 yr old pup, Roxanne, where amazing hosts! Their set-up gave my pup a fantastic vacation of her own, while I was away on mine.”
18. Tara S.
“Tara provided a welcoming home environment for our older dog, Ruby. Unlike recent kennel stays, Ruby returned healthy and relaxed. I would recommend Tara as a pet sitter.”
19. Kelly H.
“Gia is an amazing pet lover, I asked her to take care of my chihuahua for one week, which is a good buddy but kind of nervous at the first time, but with Gia since the begining was friendly. She totally understand and respect their schedule of eating and walking.”
20. Adalia R.
“Amazing sitter. For this being my first time using the app and having my dog away from me. She made it super easy for me and my dog to be separated”
