“Susan was great. We were very nervous to leave our young (1.5 year old) dog for the first time, but Susan reassured us and kept us informed everyday with how he was doing. Susan made sure to play him and walk him often. We could tell from the videos Susan sent us that he had a fun time.”
“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”
“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”
“Amy was amazing! She was super easy to reach, sent photos, and updated us as much as she could. Doggo was very happy and had a pep to her step after 😊”
“Our baby enjoyed his stay with David a lot! David took very good care of Pom Pom - he walked him twice everyday, brought him to brunch, played a lot with him, and I can tell David genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Pom Pom is a very clingy dog, he has to sleep with humans at night. So I much appreciated it that David didn’t mind having Pom Pom sleeping in bed with him at night. Also David was very responsive in messages and sent us bunch of updates with pictures throughout the day during Pom Pom’s stay. We would definitely recommend David and you can trust that your pup will be in good hands!”
“My puppy Pumi stayed at Kira's at past summer and was a great experience. She and her kids care for Pumi with so much love. Kira also sent a lot of pictures what made me at ease she is at good hands. After the stay when I picked up Pumi she was the same balanced happy puppy when I dropped her off. Thank you Kira and Kids!”
“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”
“Avraham was amazing! Always communicative throughout our NYC stay that me & my wife felt so relaxed knowing Mochi was in good hands. Very grateful to have found him. Thank you for the first and the most fantastic Rover experience.”
“Skyler was AMAZING! We loved, loved her. She was so caring with Tango and communicated with us all the time sending us pics and vids of our little boy. Our doggie had special needs and Skyler was very flexible with it. And she went above and beyond taking care of him with long walks and plenty of playtime and training. Any time we would message her, she would always reply so quickly. She is very loving and she loves dogs, we will definitely go back to her. Tango was very happy and he misses her already. Thank you for cooking him some extra food and for his cute little toy and thank you for giving him so much attention and love. You are the best!”
“Christina and Orlando are great. My dogs loved them. They provide many updates throughout the whole day. I had to traveled to Las Vegas for my daughter event and had no one to stay with my fur babies. I will definitely recommend them.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! !! They were so well taken care of and it was truly like a vacation away from home ! We cannot wait to book again!”
“I’m scared to give Miruna 5 stars because I feel like she’s rover’s best kept secret and now everyone’s gonna know! She was AMAZING. My pup had a blast with her, she was incredibly communicative and treated my dog as if she was her own. Couldn’t ask for a better rover experience”
“Patrice and Alex took wonderful care of my dog! They provided lots of updates and cute pictures each day of the stay. Their dog Pepper seems very sweet and the dogs got along well. My dog got lots of love and attention from Alex and Patrice, and it was clear from the photos how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“Junaid and his fiancé were fabulous with Deedee! They shared photos frequently and kept us updated. Deedee was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely love to keep deedee with them again!”
“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”
“My dog is very sensitive and has extreme separation anxiety whenever she's apart from me. I hadn't boarded her anywhere in 4+ years, but due to an upcoming wedding I booked her to stay with Christina for a week while I'm out of the country. I also booked a 1-night stay to see how it would go and to make sure she'd be comfortable with Christina, and everything went great. Within an hour of me leaving her they were playing ball and napping together. When I picked her up the next day she was happy and playful, and from the picture and video updates Christina provided it was clear that she was well cared for. I was worried about leaving her for an entire week, but now that anxiety is gone. Christina's reviews are all great for a reason; she is an excellent caretaker and I know that my dog will have a great time with her when I'm out of the country. After just one night my sensitive and anxious dog loves her. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah was great with our energetic dog and sent photos and videos everyday to keep us updated. She was super responsive and flexible. Highly recommended Sarah for your pups next stay!”
“She was an amazing pet sitter. She sent photos of my dogs every day during their stay. She always kept me well informed about their well-being of my pets. I highly recommend her”
