“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”


“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!”


“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!”


“Stephanie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog Olly and really showed him a great time! He had a true vacation filled with play, long walks, and snuggles. Very communicative and kind.”


“Bean had another amazing stay with Danielle and Andres! Bean was extremely excited to see them upon drop off - normally he can be apprehensive but he confidently entered the building with them! They sent tons of awesome updates and it was evident bean was well taken care of and having a great time. Will absolutely use them again and highly recommend Danielle and Andres!”

“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!”


“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.”


“I boarded my cat with Eva and Tyler for a daytime sit. They were very flexible, easy to communicate with and super nice. They sent me a lot of photos even though it was only a few hours. Highly recommend!”


“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 😊”


“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”


“I needed a sitter to take care of my dog like a family member, and Jen was just right. Whenever she sent me photos of my dog, I could see how well my dog was with her. Thank you so much!!”


“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.”



“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!”



“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”


“We have now used Matthew 3 times and keep going back for a reason. He is wonderful with our dogs, who have unique needs, and we feel confident they’re in good hands with him.”



“Jen is amazing! She took care of my two senior dogs, Mister (13) and Nola (14) for two weeks while we were away on vacation. I was really nervous to use rover because they’ve never stayed with strangers before but Jen made me feel at ease at our meet and greet. The dogs made themselves right at home when we dropped the off. She made sure to send us tons of pictures and updates on what they were doing and how they were eating. It felt like we never really left them behind. When we I went to pick them up I could tell they really enjoyed their time there and got a good amount of play time and exercise. 10/10 experience for myself and the pups. I couldn’t recommend Jen more. Thanks again!!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Whitney! Sona was amazing from start to finish. She sent us adorable picture updates throughout the weekend, was incredibly communicative, and always replied promptly whenever we reached out. She was also very flexible when we ran late due to transportation issues, which we truly appreciated. Whitney loved her right away, and it’s clear he was well cared for. Sona walked him, fed him exactly as instructed, and there were zero issues at all. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful sitter in the city. She will definitely be our first choice whenever we’re in New York. Highly, highly recommend!

Jennifer was absolutely fantastic. Rocky loved her; she sent pictures and videos frequently (usually more than once a day). She was so flexible (I changed the pickup date twice) AND went picked up extra food from one of my neighbors. I travel often - we are looking forward to seeing her again!

Willie is amazing. He truly loves dogs and sends tons of pictures and updates. We left Oreo with him 3 times now and there was never a problem. I'm extremely happy with the communication and transparency level. Willie took great care of Oreo, including giving her her medicines. He's accommodating as well and had other dogs all sizes at the same time for a few days without trouble. Thank you Willie so so much!

Kayla and her partner are great! They took great care of Bento for over a week, and Bento came back healthy and happy. They even brushed him daily! Kayla was great with communication from the start, and sent pictures regularly to give us updates. We will definitely check her availability first the next time we board Bento!

A+ experience!! I've used many Rover sitters over the years and have, fortunately, only had good experiences, as I always look for sitters who have numerous glowing reviews. Even so, I've observed that there's a vast difference in dog skills/familiarity among sitters, as well as service levels in terms of frequency of updates, etc. Onur is easily one of the BEST sitters I've had on every dimension!!! My mini dachshund Einstein is terrible with new people and I prepared for the worst, but Onur and his wife made Einstein comfortable in their home almost instantaneously, which is almost unheard of! If you have an anxious dog, seriously look no further... this is your guy! He also sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the day, which is super important to me. I never had to wonder how Einstein was doing (as I have with others at times) because so many updates kept coming without any prompting. Amazing!

Caroline was amazing with my pup! She sent pictures and updates every day and was very communicative. She also treated my baby like royalty and got her pup cups and a new toy. I will definitely be asking Caroline to doggy sit again, and am sure my girl can’t wait until next time!

Lauren and her family took amazing care of our dog, Zoey while we went away! Zoey is a senior dog, and needs a bit of extra consideration to keep her comfortable and they did a fantastic job. Zoey came back happy and not stressed, and they shared cute pictures and updates along the way. It's clear her children are excellent helpers and clearly understand how to be soft and gentle with the dogs that they sit. I highly recommend them!

Anastasiia was awesome! I boarded my dog with her while on a work trip. She was super reliable and sent regular updates with pictures and my baby (dog) seemed so well cared for! She also communicated quickly and was very flexible when my flight was delayed. Would definitely book with her again in the future!!

Mackenzie was a fantastic dog sitter. She stepped in when I had another sitter cancel on me last minute and was very responsive to my panicked communications. She took my elderly dog on exciting adventures across the city and sent much appreciated pictures and videos. I was worried Rowan wasn’t going to want to come home! Highly recommend.
