“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”
“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”
“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”
“Goose’s stay with Jen went so well! Goose stayed 6 nights, and we could tell she loved every minute of it in the daily picture updates we received. Definitely hope Goose can stay again and cannot recommend Jen enough!”
“Andrew was responsive and kind and took great care of Poppy! Even better was that his dog Mango was a wonderful companion for our 6 month old puppy and they played and got along great. Our dog is home and now sleeping, which is ideal : )”
“Amy was an amazing dog sitter. My dog is a rescue dog and he doesn't trust humans too much, but Amy was great with him, she was very patient with him. Her dog is also sweet and friendly. Amy sent me pictures every day and kept me informed. She even gave Auro a bath, because he got really dirty. Highly recommended. I would use her services again.”
“Summer is a godsend and the most attentive, communicative rovers we have ever had. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about your pup and ensuring that they (and you) have the ultimate best time. Honestly, I think that was the most exercise and outings our girl has had since moving to New York. She had the time of her life! Kihei cannot wait to go back in vacation too (at summer’s).”
“Tory was great with my high-energy pup for a few days of boarding. She sent lots of updates and photos, and even sent photos of the food portions to make sure was giving the correct amounts. My return flight got canceled because of a weather delay, and Tory was very accommodating in extending the stay for another night and being flexible and very communicative with new pickup time. I felt that my dog was safe and in very good hands. The private back yard is also a great feature. I highly recommend Tory as a dog sitter!”
“Eleanor is super thorough, communicative, and made sure she had all the info she needed to make my dog Olive comfortable during her stay. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“David is wonderful! I feel absolutely comfortable leaving my pup with him. He sends regular and detailed updates. You can see that he really carew for the dogs. Few times my pup needed a medicine and David was very diligent in making that happen. Basically if I am able to book David, he is my first choice”
“Kylie was super patient with my dog who is extremely anxious in new environments with new people. Really appreciate her taking the time to understand how to make him feel more comfortable.”
“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Matthew and Macon communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I was a little nervous since we weren’t able to have a meet and greet, but Tobey did well. I will definitely book with them again.”
“We unfortunately had to leave our new 2.5mo puppy for ten days only a couple weeks after adopting her. She was in the middle of housetraining which made us nervous but Adam was fantastic with her. He helped reinforce housetraining with Rey, gave her lots of attention, took her on good long walks, and kept us updated the whole week. Would definitely recommend Adam, especially for high energy puppies like ours.”
“We left Phoebe with Angela for a short stint, and felt very comfortable. Angela is in a doorman building, her apartment is spotless, and she was on top of her duties the entire time. She sent us photo after photo showing Phoebe enjoying herself. When I picked her up, Phoebe dug in her heels and didn't want to leave. We will definitely repeat.”
“Elif was great with Ruby! She was very attentive to care instructions and sent regular updates and pics. Would definitely reach out again in the future! Thanks again, Elif!”
“Han is the best with pets, she takes such care and is always very responsive and provides updates. Lady loves staying with her! I would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!”
“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.”
“Lillian was the absolute sweetest with Mango! You can tell she’s a true dog lover no matter what. It was great to see Mango warm up to Lillian and Picasso so quickly. He truly felt comfortable and at home with her.”

Long Island City dog parents share their Rover experiences
In the 10 years of my dog Leon’s life, I’ve never experienced such peace of mind leaving him in someone else’s care—until we met Lorri. She is truly a fairy godmother for pets. From the moment we dropped him off, I could feel her genuine love and care. It honestly felt like she cared even more than I do, and that’s saying a lot! She gave Leon all the attention, comfort, and affection he needed, and kept me updated in the most thoughtful ways. It was the first time I left him without a single worry. I am beyond grateful for her presence and the safe, loving environment she created. I only hope she’ll still be available next time; we wouldn’t want anyone else. Thank you, Lorri, from the bottom of my heart. You’re a rare gem.
Amber was absolutely amazing - I booked her for a week+ stay with my mini dachshund Patty and I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience for both myself & Pat. Patty is a sweet but stubborn pup with all the standard dachshund quirks—selective about walks (aka stubborn), sensitive to change, and a bit of a princess (diva!!). Amber handled her with so much patience, understanding, and skill that clearly emphasized how much of a dog lover she is. By the end of the stay, Patty was not only going on regular walks but actually enjoying them (wish I could attach a photo of her smile by the end of her stay) She sent me consistent updates with photos and was super responsive and flexible, even with my chaotic travel schedule. I could tell right away that she really knows how to work with different dog personalities and was genuinely invested in making sure Patty felt safe and loved!!! When I picked Pat up, she was calm, happy, and clearly bonded with her sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook Amber and feel so lucky to have found someone I trust Pat with completely. If your dog needs a warm, reliable, and experienced sitter (especially one who understands and embraces breed specific quirks) you should definitely book Amber :)
Snizhana was amazing! She shared plenty of photos and frequent updates throughout the week and Kobe looked so happy and comfortable with her. She followed all our instructions carefully and was incredibly accommodating when our return flight was delayed. We felt completely at ease leaving Kobe in her care and would absolutely book with her again!
Ana was absolutely amazing. Our dog Rogan was dealing with ongoing stomach issues while we were away, and Ana went above and beyond to care for him during the entire 3-week stay. She stayed in close contact with us and Rogan’s vet, prepared special meals for him, administered his medication on time, and kept us constantly updated. We felt completely at ease knowing Rogan was in such good hands. I highly recommend Ana — she is very hands-on and naturally caring. Thank you so much, Ana!
Anastasia did a wonderful job of taking care of my dog, mocha. Every picture she sent had mocha looking very comfy, and very happy! She was great at keeping me updated and was amazing when my travel plans changed last minute and I had to pick mocha up later than scheduled. She was very accommodating and helpful in that regard. I know mocha had a great time staying with Anastasia and we will definitely use her again in the future!!!
I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Ben was reliable, loving, and took great care of my girl. He was great with updates about her day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My girl came home happy and her normal jolly self.I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
I can’t say enough good things about Elizaveta! She kept us in the loop the whole time, constantly sending us pictures and videos of our girl. She even took her out on errands and different things throughout the day so she wouldn’t be home alone. I felt at ease while I was away knowing our pup was being taken care of so well :)
Ameen was great! We had to cut the stay short due to a change in my travel plans, but even after the shorter stay, it was clear the cosmo really liked Ameen and was well cared for. Ameen was very responsive and sent the right amount of updates. Would absolutely work with him again
