“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”
“Sarah was amazing! She took such great care of our dog and was even flexible when our travel plans changed! Definitely recommend Sarah for boarding.”
About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.
“Outstanding caretaker, loves the dogs in her care and takes excellent care of mine for the week. I am so happy to have found her and completely confident she will provide the best care. Stays in touch, checks in to see how things were going while I was recovering from surgery. Thank you Kristal!”
“Amy did a phenomenal job boarding Jack, my large husky. She took him to the dog park daily, walked him frequently, and provided a lot of love and attention to Jack. She also provided some great insight in dog training that I intend to act on. I am grateful to Amy for being a dependable, honest, and enthusiastic dog lover.”
“Jayne took great care of Moxie. I travel a lot for work and being new to NYC and not knowing anyone I have to rely on Rover to find responsible people to love and care for my dog like I do. I got photo updates at least 2-3 times a day of Jayne taking Moxie out on walks, playing with her in the house, and of Moxie relaxing comfortably in Jayne's home. I could tell that she was well cared for and in good hands. Jayne reached out with questions about her eating habits and also had to deal with a lot of walks in cold and rainy weather, so I knew Moxie was in good hands. Jayne was very responsive when I reached out to her for updates. I would absolutely trust Jayne again with my dear Jack Russell Terrier.”
“Jennifer was great with my fur baby. He’s a big, strong, hyper boy with an insane amount of energy and she handled him well. He had lots of fun. I got consistent updates throughout my trip which alleviated my worries so I could relax. I’ve booked her for some future trips and plan to continue using her!”
“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”
“Pat is a absolutely awesome person and sitter. I was nervous about leaving Frankie, my 15 yr Yorkie for the first time in over a year. I was gone for 8 days and Pat gave me daily updates with pics and videos. Pat took very good care of Frankie. I’m sure he’ll be happy to go back when we take our next vacation.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”
“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. Sprocket stayed over for 4 days and everything was perfect. He was well looked after and we received updates throughout our vacation. If there were 6 stars, we would have given 6!”
About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so grateful that it was with Karina! She was extremely gracious and communicated daily. She sent videos and pictures of my sweet pup throughout the day. I was truly grateful for her care for my pup. I highly recommend!!!”
“There aren't enough stars available to give Yesina. She was awesome. Stoney loved her. She was just what he needed. She was very kind, good, stearn and loving with Stoney. Stoney loved her friendly and playful dogs and became one of the pack. She gave him the training he needed and he responded wonderfully. I trusted her right away. She gave me great training tips to continue with Stoney at home. When I first met her I knew it would be a great relationship! Thanks Yesina (and your hubby too) for everything!”
“Can not say enough positive things about Anita! She was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout Louis stay with photos and text. We will definitely be re-booking Anita in the future!”
“My dogs just love Deirdre she is the best sitter we've ever had. I would highly recommend her.!!! Even my older dog who is sometimes shy around strangers warm dried up to her, and my dogs felt completely at home at her place. She's fabulous.!!”
“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”
“Balaji took really great care of our dog, sending photos everyday with updates. We have already used Balaji three times in a row and with each stay, can see that my dog is happy and having fun!”
