“We had Dobby stayed with Jessica and her husband for 10 days. They really made sure Dobby took his time to get comfortable at their home, and he did! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Dobby was in good hands! We are very grateful to have Jessica around. She is our go-to and trusted person now when it comes to boarding for Dobby. Thank you Jessica!”
“Holly and DK were wonderful! Extremely professional and warm. They took great care of our pup while we were gone for the week. Highly recommend their care.”
“We kept our 2 and half years old Maltese with Lisa for 2 nights when we had to go out of town for a wedding and couldn't take our pup Bisou along. It was the first time that Bisou had to spend at a stranger's home. I was sad and worried to leave him behind. But after picking him up, within 2 days I re-booked Lisa for 3 nights in September. I don't need to write detail review. Because, "Action speaks louder than words". ☺”
“We found a match for our dog. Bhavani has been so caring and keep sending us updates, photos videos of Yogi . She made us feel confident that Yogi is in good hands while we were away .”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Lucas and Katherine took amazing care of our dog Cali while we were on vacation. This was the first time we've had Cali stay with someone she doesn't know and it went so smoothly. Lucas and Katherine truly treated Cali as their own dog while she was there - she got lots of love and cuddles on the couch, all of her walks and they let her sleep in bed with them!! They sent a ton of pictures that made me feel at ease and kept me up to date on their activities throughout the stay! I would absolutely recommend Lucas and Katherine and will be using their services again in the future!”
“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.”
“I can’t even begin to put into words how much I love Stacia and her family! They are such a blessing to not only Wynter but us.. If you are looking for an extension of your fur-family not just a sitter then Stacia is the right choice. Your baby is in the right hands!”
“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“Megan and Nick created the most comfortable home away from home for Brady. He came home so happy and energetic. We got regular updates and pictures which was comforting to know he was doing well throughout our trip. We would for sure recommend them and book them to watch Brady again.”
“Margarita was amazing with my Dog Ms. Charlie. I was nervous about using rover and finding the right care our older dogs needs. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Margarita has great experience caring for dogs and helping pups with attachment challenges or anxiety feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using her when my family is vacationing and need to leave our pup for boarding. I would give her six stars if I could!!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Jessica was AMAZING!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and her mom, and will definitely be using their services again in the future! They took excellent care of our pup, and were very generous with sending pictures and updates. Thank you!! 🙏”
“At the last minute we needed someone to watch our furbaby. I heard abt Rover and I came across Javier’s profile. I was impressed with the reviews and his overall profile.We had a meet and greet and Button showed immediate interest. Javier’s love and care for Button exceeded every expectation. He showered us with photos and videos, gave us recommendations and great observations of Button. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAVIER!! I live on Staten Island and have NO PROBLEMS paying the toll and potential traffic to have someone like Javier watch Button. Book him, you will not regret the experience!”
“Amazing 5/5 experience with Jose! He always responded super quickly and provided pictures! My dog was still a puppy when I left him so I was nervous about leaving him so young, but Jose helped a lot with the potty training! His other pups are super playful and defensively made the stay more fun for my pup. Would recommend and ask him to host again!”

Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.
Lauren was such a pleasure to have as a dog sitter. We could enjoy our 5 nights away knowing that our puppy was in a responsible and loving care. Lauren was a great communicator who provided us with videos, pictures and updates. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times which we appreciated. I highly recommend Lauren.
Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!
Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!
