“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry. And to be honest the best part of this review is, Larry is wildly excited to see Jennifer each morning she watches him. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating as well. My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”


“Walter and Katherine were absolutely amazing with our Cavapoo, Henry!!! They sent us a ton of pics ❤️ and communicated easily with us from booking to pickup. Henry can’t wait to go back! Thank you Walter and Katherine!!”


“Steven and Tracy are ah-mazing with Jaxson. When I drop him off in the mornings for doggy daycare he’s usually tired but as soon as he sees them waiting in the driveway his tail starts wagging and he’s immediately excited, and I love that. I work a lot and having a safe, fun place for him to socialize with other dogs (annd they have 6 of their own) and be loved on is exactly what I was looking for. I always look forward to the pictures and videos they send throughout the day, and they are great with communication. When I pick him up after work we’re both tired lol, and that’s all a busy dog mom could hope for. I appreciate the service immensely and I’m very happy I picked the right people for Jaxson on my first try with the Rover App.”


“Misty was amazing with my baby! From the time we started chatting, to meeting at her home, to the photos sent throughout. My dog lets me know how she feels about people, instantly, and she was surely comfortable with Misty. I’d recommend her to anyone and surely would send Nova to her again in a heartbeat!”


“Jullien walked my 3 month old Labrador, Inga for a mile and played with her in his spacious back yard. She was exhausted when I picked her up, and slept well last night. I would highly recommend him for doggy day care.”



About: I love pet especially dogs I actually want a teacup chihuahua but money is kind of tight for me right now so why not get to love and take care of others pets while I work on getting my own and maybe have play dates for my future pets too I would love to love your pets thank you in advance for giving me a chance to do so

“Klainer took great care of our two fur babies while we went to some events in NYC for the day. This was our first time having both dogs watched together, as our youngest is only 6 months old. I never had to ask for updates because Klainer provided continuous ones, which really put our minds at ease during the day. They came back to us loved and tired, making our night super easy. If you’re from out of town like we were, I highly recommend trusting her with your fur baby! Very clean apartment, too.”


“Bianca brought my dog to our wedding and made our day so special - we knew he was in great hands with Bianca and she did a fantastic job picking him up from my apartment, bringing him to the wedding and back home safely. She's so lovely and I'll be using her again!!”


“I could not have been happier with this booking. Shirley was amazing! She took great pictures and excellent care of my 9 week old puppy. I was fully prepared to get a text saying she couldn’t handle it because my dog is a lot to handle at times. Not once during her stay did I receive any calls of messages of distress. Upon drop off back at my home I was given a full synopsis of their day and the adventures/ walks they had together. She came home clean and happy. I will be 100% rebooking with Shirley. First time using rover and she made me feel so comfortable with my choice.”

Excellent ! I run a mobile grooming buisness and I usually bring my pup with me. However, this day was cat day so I had to look for someone to host my 5 year old pitbull at momemts notice. I'm so happy Misty was able to host Ace. He did well with the others pups she was hosting. She sent me photos and keep me updated on how he was doing. 10 out of 10 I would recommend! I know pup can be a handful since he's a nervous pup.

Lindley, Mike and their kids are simply a wonderful family! They took such great care of Falkor, we felt extremely comfortable, confident and at ease knowing that we left him in good hands. They sent us updates throughout the day alongside photos and Falkor was happy as a clam. They come highly recommended!

Kyla did so well with Nebula! She was very caring, kind, and attentive. She made sure to give updates all throughout her stay and is very accommodating when it comes to caring for your fur babies♥️ I cannot thank her and recommend her enough! Thank you so much again Kyla!
