“Andrew and Ellen were great. Excellent communication and updates with pictures and videos. Their dog was a great companion to ours. They were kind enough to work with our busy schedule and even met us in the park for a meet up beforehand to make sure all would go well. Will use them again :)”
“David and his partner were the best sitters we could have asked for! Our puppy, Violet, has many needs as she is highly anxious and easily terrified. David and his partner went above and beyond with their patience and love for Violet, and it was clear she loved them when we picked her up. David sent us multiple updates per day with helpful and honest information about how Violet was doing, and the most adorable pictures that I am so grateful for. It is clear David is a dog expert and dog lover, and most importantly a compassionate and kind person. I would highly recommend!”

She took such good care of our 10 yo Labrador, she asked lots of thoughtful questions about how to make her stay as comfortable as possible and sent lots of pictures of their time together. She worked to make drop off and pickup as easy as possible. Ophelia loved spending time with her.”

“Micaela & Jessie took great care of Trixie and they sent me updates and pics throughout her stay. Trixie wasn’t feeling well a day or so before her stay and they administered meds and followed a strict diet the Vet had prescribed. Micaela and Jessie treated Trixie with all the love and kindness as if she was their own dog. ❤️ We will definitely be calling on Micaela and Jessie again! Can’t say enough good things about them.”
“Jen was amazing with Mabel during her boarding stay!6 She treated her like part of the family - playing with toys, lounging around the apartment, enjoying the outdoor space and going on adventures. Mabel loved her and her partner right away. Jen was very communicative and sent lots of updates with photos! It also made my trip so much easier that she and her partner picked and dropped Mabel and the gear off. Will definitely be reaching out to Jen for future trips!”
“Danielle & Andres were fantastic with Beans. They were flexible for drop off and pick up and communicated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. I would absolutely book them again!”

“Ana & Luis are amazing and we're so glad we found them. They watched our toy poodle for a few days. He clearly had so much fun, play time and attention that we joked that he would not want to come home to us. Ana & Luis were also very good about keeping contact with us -- sending us updates, notes and pictures. We would definitely entrust them again with our pup in the future.”
“Saylor is a top notch dog sitter! I wish I could give him more stars for excellent service!!! It was my first time using the dog boarding service. I was nervous leaving my 2 pups while I was out of town for the weekend. Saylor met with me and my pups and went over his daily routines and his place so I would feel comfortable the pups would be well taken care of. I received daily pictures and notes of my pups stay from Saylor. I have a younger pup who likes to play and an older pup who likes to relax and nap. Saylor accommodated each pup and let them be comfortable. He evenaccommodated my travel schedule last minute. Unfortunately my flight was cancelled due to weather and I had to stay an extra day. Saylor reassured me the dogs would be fine and kept them an extra night and coordinated a drop off once I landed home. It was such a relieve to have the help with the pups knowing they were in good hands while I was trying to get home! Im so happy I found a great dog sitter :-)”
“Vera was outstanding with our pup! She gave consistent and frequent updates and even took our pup on field trips with plenty of exercise. We are so glad we found Vera!”
“Sara is a hardworking, caring, responsible individual who took great care of my puppy. She gave my five months old puppy her full and undivided attention. She asked about our routines and kept to them. She gave my puppy plenty of exercise, love, attention and the puppy was never left alone. She sent updates and pictures. I would very much recommend Sara”

Manhattan dog parents share their Rover experiences
Devon was absolutely amazing with my pet! From the very beginning she was kind, attentive, and made me feel at ease leaving my furry friend in her care. She followed my pet’s routine perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. What I loved most were the regular photo updates—seeing my pet happy and comfortable truly gave me peace of mind. It’s clear that Devon genuinely loves animals and treats them with the same care and affection as if they were her own. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and someone I felt I could completely trust. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Devon!
Adam was absolutely fantastic with our two cavalier King Charles. He sent so many wonderful videos and it was obvious how much he cared for our dogs and their well being. Our dogs had an absolute blast with him and loved spending time with him while we were away. We will definitely be using him again for dog sitting in the future!
Michelle took wonderful care of Shiyi! 🐶 She was very attentive, spent lots of quality time with him, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Shiyi absolutely loves her, and I could tell he felt safe and cared for the entire time. I would definitely book with Michelle again!
Paige was wonderful with our dog, Oliver. She was flexible on meeting with us prior to booking and took great care of him while we were gone for a long weekend. Oliver seemed very happy with her and she kept us updated throughout his stay! Would definitely use Paige again for future trips.
We highly recommend Catalina after boarding our dog with her for 4 nights. She is super friendly and genuinely cared about our dog's needs. Communication throughout the stay was excellent as she sent regular updates with the cutest photos that showed how relaxed and happy our dog was. It was clear that Catalina took the time to get to know our dog, as she mentioned and appreciated all her little quirks. Our dog was calm and content during pickup which reassured us that she’d been well cared for and truly enjoyed her time at Catalina’s home. We’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Catalina!
We loved Summer! She took such great care of our 13-year old greyhound mix while we were away for 10 days. Summer was very responsive, sent lots of (very welcomed!) updates, and was diligent about how much food our dog needed and what his habits and routines were. Our boy was well looked after and came back his happy, healthy self. Thank you so much, Summer!
Tara was great! Very communicative and sent lots of updates and pics. She also checked in to make sure everything he was doing was normal for him, and even coordinated drop off with another Rover who took him after her. We had a great experience, and it seems like our dog was comfortable and cared for! We’d definitely use her again and recommend her highly.
