“Janice is by far one of the best sitters I have come across on Rover. She was so good at updating me with how my dog was doing. She was very responsive and answered all of my questions in a timeline manner. She sent lots of videos and photos. She gave him lots of exercise which was important to me because my dog is very high energy. She also returned everything back to me squeaky clean. I would love to use her services again.”
“Jennifer was very nice and kept me updated throughout Olivers overnight stay. This was his first time being away from home so I was a little bit nervous, but she provided multiple pictures and videos which kept me calm. She responds very quickly and has open communication. He went on lots of walks which I know he enjoyed. At pick up she gave me feedback on his behavior during his stay which I appreciated. I’d book with Jennifer again, I know my baby was safe and well taken care of!”
“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”
“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”
“Yuberkis is a very good human being that loved my dog like her own. My dog was very happy with her. She is very caring and great with my dog. She shared pictures and videos every day without failing. I’d recommend her to my friends and family who owns dog. Thank you ❤️💕”
“Ninoska was great! She kept us updated everyday without us having to ask! She also took the booking last minute. I know that our dog Cyber had a great time and we will be using her again for our future stays!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved English Bulldogs to Koryn while I went on a 5-day vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Koryn has a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the stay, she provided exceptional care, ensuring my fur babies were comfortable, well-fed, and showered with attention. Koryn went above and beyond to accommodate their needs, keeping me updated with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Returning home, I found my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Koryn truly treated them as if they were her own, and I am incredibly grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Koryn to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”
“I had such an amazing experience with Diana & Harish. Mimi was not sure to be away from home and I asked to do meet up prior to her appointment. The meet and greet went well. Mimi was very comfortable. I knew when she went and sat by Diana, it was a no brainer! Diana kept me well informed and provided updates. I knew I made the right decision. Mimi thoroughly enjoyed the attention and the love. Hands down, I would definitely book again!”
“Doug was great! He went above and beyond to keep our dog happy and comfortable. All his photos and updates kept us both informed and highly entertained! Would happily book with Doug again. Five stars!”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“My beagle, Zoey, is a repeat vacayer at Manuel's house. He has always taken very good care of her and has always worked very well with me as far as drop offs and pick ups.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Te is the best! Astro always gets super excited once he gets down at Te’s home. Te always keeps us updated on our pup’s status and what he’s up to regularly. We feel the most comfortable leaving our pup at Te’s place if we are away. Highly recommend! Thank you Te!!”
“Tiara was super kind and thoughtful, professional and prepared. I was so grateful she could take care of my cat while we were away. I hope to use her services again and recommend her highly to anyone!”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Mateo was great to our pup! He sent pictures throughout the stay and reassured us that our sometimes anxious boy was doing just fine. It was extremely accommodating to our requests for Wayne as well.”
“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”
“It’s always uncomfortable leaving a pet in a new place but with Angie that feeling vanished quickly. She’s responsive and punctual and great with animals. I could tell my pup was happy and relaxed in the pics she sent while I was away. Zeus had such a good stay he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!”

Lower Vailsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Breanna and Myah were amazing with Onyx! 🐾 They kept me updated the whole time with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re super friendly, warm, and clearly love what they do, you can really tell your pet is in great hands. I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx with them, and he’ll definitely be back! 10/10 would recommend 💕✨
She is an incredible sitter! She was so thoughtful and really paid attention to my dog's needs. I loved receiving daily updates, and it was heartwarming to see how she comforted him during the storm. Her home is lovely, and my dog instantly took a liking to her. Highly recommend!
Mikalia was great with our dog! She communicated throughout each day to keep us updated while away. We can tell she really cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!
We've used Ilana several times over the past few years and could not be happier. Our dog is always happy to see her and she was able to accommodate a last-minute request. Thank you Ilana
Angie was a great caretaker for my little old dog. She gave me daily updates and seemed to genuinely care for my dog. I definitely recommend her services!
This was my first time leaving my fur baby! With him being a 120 lbs rottweiler, I was very nervous. I met with Te before my dog started his boarding and she made me feel very very comfortable. She has knowledge on the breed and she owns a Rottweiler herself which really made me feel great about leaving him in her care. She kept us updated with pics and answered back quickly when we texted about him. I will stand on the rooftop and recommend her to any and everyone. She gained a new customer for life!!!!!
Highly recommend! Phoebe was super happy and comfortable and we knew it from the great updates including text, photos and videos. Thanks again Melanie!!
Andria was great! She consistently kept me and my wife updated on our dog Abu. Definitely would recommend Andria.
She kept us updated and my boy was well loved . My husband forgot his toy but he was sent home with one! 10/10 we do recommend.
Mateo was great to our pup! He sent pictures throughout the stay and reassured us that our sometimes anxious boy was doing just fine. It was extremely accommodating to our requests for Wayne as well.
Luz was FANTASTIC with our senior dog Nugget! He got so much love and outdoor time and attention while we were out of town, and we got so many videos and pictures of him having a great time! By far Nugget’s and my favorite person to watch Nugget while we’re gone!
We boarded our pup with Jullien for the week, and he and his family were very caring, friendly, and warm! Our dog had an amazing time hanging out with Jullien, hiking, and playing outside. We felt amazing knowing our pup was in great hands while we were away.
They made Daisy feel right at home and took great care of her. They provided frequent updates with photos. Highly recommend!
Sarah was amazing with our senior dog, Tinkerbell! She was gentle, patient, and made Tinkerbell feel right at home. We got updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind that she was well taken care of. We absolutely use Sarah again the next time we need a sitter.
Kirby had an amazing time! Jose had great communication throughout Kirby’s stay. We definitely would book again.
Noah was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs, and I would rate him a perfect 10! His patience and understanding were remarkable as he took care of them. Throughout their stay, he kept me updated with frequent phone calls and sent me numerous adorable pictures that showcased my dogs having a wonderful time. It was clear to me that he genuinely cares about the pets he boards. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my beloved furry friends. From now on, Noah will be my go-to choice for their boarding needs!
Danielle, was super friendly and kind with my dog. It was a two night stay and everything went well. I would certainly use Danielle again or recommend her to others.
Another great stay with bagel and Katherine! Mile always feels right at home and comes back exhausted and having had a great time. He can't wait for his next sleep over!
Daniel is a fantastic dog sitter! This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone (other than family), so we were a bit nervous. But, Daniel did such a great job with them! From the very first update he sent us on the first day, we could tell that they were in great hands. And, Daniel kept us updated daily with text messages, photos and videos of the dogs. That really gave us piece of mind and helped us enjoy our time away from them! He also had no problem giving one of our dogs his meds. We truly believe he does love animals and dogs as he mentions is his bio. We would 100% + use him again and just hope he's not booked the next time we go away!!!
