“Lika was so lovely and kind to my older pooch. Let my pup kiss her, lounge on the couches, and get lots of scritches 🥰 I was traveling during unfortunate time times and Lika made everything so easy with her flexibility and towards my doggo and me. She was so well equipped with treats and bowlssking drop off/pick up so easy. It’s very clear that she is a dog lover and I felt so at ease seeing all the pics and videos. Thank you Lika!!”


“Katherine was a blessing to me and my Milo!!! She's seriously the pup whisperer or something! He was SO happy to go with her when we arrived to her place, and he was even happier when I picked him up! We had a meet and greet prior to scheduling the dog boarding, and he was happy with her then too. Plenty of besos from my sweet baby boy! I knew she was the one to give my pup the love he needed that I couldn't give to him while I was away! She kept me up to date with so many pictures and text updates throughout the whole stay. It really relieved any worries that I had about his stay. She was super responsive, prompt, organized, and sweet. She made sure my first dog boarding experience was a perfect one! I would certainly recommend her services for dogs who are very friendly! She takes up to 3 clients at a time and Milo's great with socialization so that was perfect for this high energy friendly pup!! I look forward to using her services for more dog boarding stays in the future with my Milo! Thanks, Katherine!”


“Sneha is an amazing dog sitter! She constantly sends updates and photos, is incredibly patient and attentive, and it’s clear she has a real passion and love for dogs, it’s infectious! . My dog had an absolute blast with her and the other dogs. She creates such a fun, stimulating environment that keeps them happy and engaged the entire time. I came back to a tired, happy pup and total peace of mind. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”



“John really cares about my dog Barney. When I leave Barney with him, I know he’s in great hands. I have left Barney with John twice now when going out of town for trips and it went great. I highly recommend him.”


“Our dogs love Karin and Charlie! I know they are safe and comfortable and well cared for when I leave them there. Always great updates, pictures, and videos. They’re the best!”


“Hans was absolutely amazing! We had our dog Bruno stay with her for 10 days and she was so great at sending photos and videos every day! Could not recommend her more.”



“Eva is reliable and communicative and Merritt likes her. He gets lots of walks and one on one attention with her. She puts our minds at ease when we must travel without our beloved Merritt.”


“Patrice and Alex took wonderful care of my dog! They provided lots of updates and cute pictures each day of the stay. Their dog Pepper seems very sweet and the dogs got along well. My dog got lots of love and attention from Alex and Patrice, and it was clear from the photos how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Amy did an awesome job taking care of my golden retriever! She consistently sent me pictures and updated me on his stay. I was truly able to relax on my vacation because I knew my dog was in good hands. Thank you again Amy!”


“My Teddy had a great time with Orlando and Christina. He really became part of their family! He came home happy and healthy which is all I could ask for.”


“We had a great experience with Andrew and Ellen! Our dog had a great time playing with theirs. Drop off and pick up was easy. They were also extremely responsive. Would definitely use them again and would highly recommend!”



“It was such a pleasure to find Jen while I was looking for a sitter to host my dog Rhino in their home during a last minute trip. I dropped off Rhino and knew pretty quickly that he was going to have a blast at his sleepover with Jen, and that he was in safe hands. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout the weekend, and seeing what activities Rhino was up to made me so happy. My flight back to NYC arrived very late, and Jen was really kind and understanding with allowing me to pickup at like 10pm on a Monday night. When I picked up Rhino he was obviously super in love with his new friend and watched the door to her house as we drove away, haha. He was actually quite sad the first few hours home, and I could tell he really missed Jen and her partner. I’m already thinking about his next sleepover with his new bffs, and I’m so thankful to Jen for being such an awesome aunt/momma for Rhino while I was away. She took amazing care of him and knows what she’s doing. Jen, we will be back and Rhino misses you so much! He will be so excited to visit his auntie Jen again soon :)”


“Jen was an excellent caretaker for my 4 year old micro-mini sheepadodle, Sadie. I had to go out of the country for a few days and up until this point I haven’t really left Sadie with strangers, as she has separation anxiety and must take a pill everyday (which is difficult to get her to do). Jen put me at ease, was incredibly responsive and sent pictures every day. Based on the photos, Sadie looked like she was having a blast. I’ll definitely use her again in the future!”


“Chandni & Isaac took amazing care of Carla. They are truly wonderful to work with, who are reliable, kind, and loves animals. They updated me with photos every day. I can tell my cat was so happy & well-loved. She was very comfortable staying at their place. Wonderful experience all around & happy to have found great cat sitter! Highly recommend!”


“We booked with Nitasha for a very last minute weekend getaway and she was incredibly accommodating to the many changes that were made during our 4 day vacation. Our puppy Maia looked so incredibly happy and well taken care of and I look forward to booking her again in the future. I cannot recommend her enough!”


“We boarded with Shi Shi for one night, will definitely board with her again! She was responsive, attentive to our pets needs (somewhat spoiled pup), and sent us regular updates and photos. We highly recommend her!!!”


“My boyfriend and I had to leave our dog for nine days and weren’t sure what to do, as it was our first long stint away from him. We found Nadia on Rover and felt great about the photos and raving reviews. She was very kind, responsive, and professional. Del (our dog) seemed to really like her and we got updates of him regularly. I couldn’t recommend Nadia more. And I hope to have her watch the little guy again :) Pick-up, drop-off, etc were a breeze. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for him.”


“Matthew is INCREDIBLE!!! We had several cancelled/delayed flights and kept pushing back our pick up time for our pup. He was truly a pleasure to work with and very flexible. Couldn’t recommend enough.”



“Absolutely amazing- -worried about how my senior blind dog would do with a stranger while I was away- never have to worry . I will definitely use Sean again. He was gentle and loving and my very timid nervous dog was able to relax and feel safe. I have already booked him for the next time I will be going away!!!!!!!!”

New York pet parents share their Rover experiences
Zhenwei was absolutely fantastic - she was super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of and loved. She sent lots of videos and pictures with constant updates throughout the entire boarding period. She even hand fed him on multiple occasions when my dog was hesitant about eating. Could not recommend her enough, by far one of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover. I will definitely be asking Zhenwei for help in the future!

This was our first time finding a dog sitter for our five-month-old puppy, and the entire process and experience went incredibly smoothly, putting us completely at ease! Monica and her family were extremely warm and welcoming, and we can tell how much they love pets. Monica consistently sent us updates with photos and videos of our puppy every few hours. She also strictly followed our feeding schedule to ensure our puppy was fed on time. Our little pup looked so happy in all the videos! This was definitely a fantastic experience. We’re so glad that we made this choice. 100% recommend Monica!

Kira is amazing! She took incredible care of our dog and kept us informed every few hours with photos and updates. We felt at peace leaving our pet with Kira, her family is also very caring and enjoy playing with our dog. We strongly recommend Kira and I am sure our dog Astro would love to go back and spend time with Kira in the future.

Lorri was the best! My dog has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for long periods of time, but Lorri was able to accommodate for this and made my dog feel incredibly comfortable. It was definitely like a little vacation for him staying with her! She sent lots of photos and I was never concerned. I’ll definitely be booking again, thank you Lorri!

Suzana was awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a bit nervous, because we had found all of our prior sitters through personal connections. But we got a great vibe from Suzana's Rover bio, and our actual experience confirmed that vibe. Our dog Dee Dee LOVED Suzana immediately, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her. Suzana took excellent care of Dee Dee. She also sent frequent photos and updates, so we could see how well Dee Dee was doing. We will definitely ask Suzana to watch Dee Dee again.

Claudia took such good care of our dog. She went above and beyond making us feel assured that he was happy and thriving while we were on our 2 week trip. She took him on adventures and made sure he had plenty of toys. She gave us the most thoughtful updates and made sure he had plenty of food and supplies through out. It is clear she is such an animal lover and a great care taker. We would love to book Claudia in the future!

Kylie and Kris are the best! My dog, Kimber, is a sweet but dog-reactive little guy. He’s stayed with Kylie and Kris twice now, most recently for 2 weeks. They’re amazing with Kimber, and he always comes home happy. They gave him lots of cuddles and play time. They also helped Kimber with his fear of other dogs by spending time outside on a park bench together. My partner and I really appreciate the daily photo and text updates and how responsive Kylie and Kris are. So glad we found them on Rover. We’ve already booked with them again for next month!

Kevin was very accommodating with my two dogs. He took time to learn their routine and the needs of my partially paralyzed dog. He provided lots of photo updates and was very responsive to checking in. His wife also helped with the dogs and made sure they were comfortable and had such a good time.

Leaving our beloved dog, Falkor, behind while we embarked on our trips to Europe was one of the hardest parts of planning our travels. However, entrusting him to the extraordinary care of Nora and Anne through Rover turned what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with peace of mind and gratitude. Their exceptional care, constant updates, and genuine love for Falkor made all the difference, and we cannot thank them enough. From the moment we connected with Nora and Anne, their warmth and professionalism shone through. They took the time to understand Falkor’s quirky personality—his love for long walks, his obsession with chasing squirrels, and his need for extra belly rubs. They didn’t just care for him; they welcomed him into their world as if he were their own. This level of dedication gave us the freedom to enjoy our European adventures without the nagging worry that often comes with leaving a pet behind. What truly set Nora and Anne apart was their commitment to keeping us in the loop. Every day, we received thoughtful updates filled with details about Falkor’s adventures. From photos of him bounding joyfully through the park to videos of him splashing in a stream during one of their long walks, each message was a little gift that warmed our hearts while we were exploring far from home. They even shared anecdotes, like how Falkor made a new doggy friend or proudly carried his favorite stick for half a mile. These updates weren’t just routine check-ins; they were heartfelt glimpses into Falkor’s happiness, reassuring us that he was not only safe but thriving. The long walks they took him on deserve special mention. Falkor is a high-energy pup who lives for his outdoor adventures, and Nora and Anne went above and beyond to ensure he got his fill. They explored trails, let him sniff to his heart’s content, and even indulged his love for rolling in the grass. The joy in his eyes in every photo was unmistakable—he was having the time of his life. Knowing that he was getting the exercise and stimulation he craves allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in our European travels. Beyond their attentiveness, Nora and Anne showed Falkor an abundance of love and patience. They respected his routines, from his picky eating habits to his bedtime cuddles, and their care felt deeply personal. It’s clear they’re not just pet sitters but true animal lovers who understand the profound bond between a dog and their family. They even took the time to reinforce some of his training commands, which we noticed when we reunited with an even more well-mannered Falkor. Returning home to a happy, healthy, and clearly adored Falkor was the best gift we could have asked for after our trips. Nora and Anne didn’t just look after our dog; they gave us the priceless gift of trust and connection while we were exploring Europe. To anyone searching for caregivers who will treat their pet like family, we wholeheartedly recommend Nora and Anne through Rover. They are a blessing to pet parents, and we’re already looking forward to booking them again for our next adventure. Thank you, Nora and Anne, for loving our Falkor as much as we do—your care meant the world to us and to him.

Ameen was great! We had to cut the stay short due to a change in my travel plans, but even after the shorter stay, it was clear the cosmo really liked Ameen and was well cared for. Ameen was very responsive and sent the right amount of updates. Would absolutely work with him again

I boarded my new dog Bernice with Kevin last week for a few days, our first time using Rover. We had a really great experience – – Kevin was really responsible, prompt and communicated really well. Bernice had a delightful time and was very happy with him during her stay. I would definitely recommend Kevin.

Caroline is the all time best! George goes crazy as we get near her place to drop him off because he’s so excited to spend time living it up with her. Caroline is responsive, sends tons of fun pictures, organized and overall just a fresh breath of air for an otherwise anxious dog mom as I go anywhere!!

Grace was very nice and attentive with my two little seniors. Oscar and Millie can both be very anxious, but Grace’s warm and caring nature helped to settle them right into her home. Grace’s place apartment is super clean and inviting to all furry friends. She sent lots of pictures and updates while my partner and I were away. I would recommend Grace to anyone looking for a responsible and loving sitter.
