“Jenn and Brian were outstanding hosts for Cooper. Not only were they flexible with our times and willing to work with us, but they clearly understand dogs, owning their own dogs and having fostered dogs in the past. Jenn kept me posted on his activities and energy level, and clearly she wore him out as he's been sleeping since the moment we put him in the car 4.5 hours ago. Playing in their backyard and with their pups certainly wore our energetic 2 year old out. We highly recommend Jenn and Brian for their care with your dog.”


“Fantastic with our nervous puppy! So patient with him and extremely responsive. Will book again!”


“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”


“Beverly has been absolutely amazing. My dog loved her and her husband the three days she stayed with them. Beverly was very flexible with us and responsive whenever we texted her. We also enjoyed all the photos she sent us while we were away.”


“Love, love, love Erika and Huxley! We were a bit nervous to leave our 12 week old, high energy Great Dane pup with a sitter for vacation. From minute one of booking, we knew Erika would be awesome. We did a meet n greet first to ensure the dogs were a good fit. We received daily updates with photo’s of our pup with her new friend Huxley. I think our pups are going to be life long friends! We won’t be using anyone else from this point on!”


“Michelle did a great job watching Babaloo! He was well taken care of and she sent pictures everyday. We cannot wait to have Michelle dog sit again this summer!”


“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”


“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”


“My first Rover experience = TERRIFIC!!! Erica is quite the Pro with the doggos. She explained the Ins and Outs of Rover and gave me a thorough tour of her place and her daily routine at the Meet and Greet. She had the same crate we use at home and Hamlet had his own premium sleeping accommodations. Erica used her own care and cleaning supplies and returned mine. My boy was comfortable and smiling on her regular updates and he'd become friends with everyone in her house. Erica took my high-energy guy outside and for walks 2x day as requested, even though weather was inclement. * I selected Erica from her Rover bio and did not call any others. 100% the right decision. This is Erica's full time gig. Erica has the Welcome Light On and she is Ready to Care.”


“Rusty was clearly very happy when my husband and I picked him up, we could see in his eyes that he had a great calm time around sierra and her husband. We would definitely consider doggy sitting with them again 🥰”


“Alena agreed to watch our dogs while we were visiting Niagara Falls. She was kind, gave timely updates, and we received our pups healthy and happy!”


“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”



“Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Ruth! Lucy is a bit shy at first, but Ruth provided such great care and updates. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”


“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”



“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”


“Amanda was an awesome sitter for Rizzo and we will definitely use her again in the future! You can tell she truly loves the doggo she is watching and treats them as her own. With the photos she shared everyday you could tell Rizzo was enjoying her time with Amanda which gave us relief while we were on our vacation.”


“Honestly Miranda is amazing! We’ve never parted with our dog for this long with a stranger before but she was amazing with us and our fur baby ❤️ Miranda treated her like she was part of her own family and sent us photos and videos over the holiday to keep us updated and help curb our anxiety leaving her. Honestly I can’t rave enough about how amazing her caregiving was. Your fur children are more than safe with her ☺️”


“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”


“Becky was wondering. We needed someone to watch our pups overnight while visiting in Buffalo for the bills game. She took amazing care of my two trouble makers and was super attentive to there needs. I highly recommend!”


“We've been using Rover for several years now but Scout's stay with Annalisa was by far the best experience. Right from the first few minutes Annalisa was warm and excited to see Scout and he reciprocated. During the his stay we received pictures and daily updates, which was appreciated and helped us to relax and enjoy our time away. After we picked him up, for the first time ever, he did not whine or whimper on the way home...it was very apparent that he had been made to feel right at home...and that was pretty amazing.”
