“If you're new to Rover or looking for a new dog sitter, Grace is the person to go to. I had an unexpected trip come up and needed to find someone quickly. There's always some unease leaving your dog with someone you haven't built a rapport with yet - but I'm so glad I found Grace. Her thoughtful questions about Ahri before the booking, and the confidence she gave me with her answers, made it easy to trust her with a 2 week stay. While I was away, she sent daily updates with photos and videos. Whenever anything came up - a light scuffle with another dog, an allergic reaction Ahri was having - she gave detailed updates along with how she handled each situation. Even when I wasn't able to respond right away, she kept the updates coming, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell within the first day that Ahri was comfortable - from the way she was running around with Grace to how relaxed she looked resting at her place. I would recommend Grace 1000% and would absolutely book with her again.”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Meiqi is great! Very communicative and shares updates throughout the day. It gives me a peace of mind knowing that my pup is safe and having fun every time she’s there.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ellana was a great sitter and Sully had a blast during his stay. Ellana gave us updates and sent a bunch of pictures. Will definitely be using again next time we leave town!”
“Kiersten & Casey were (/are) amazing. Highly communicative, tons of photos, clearly massive dog lovers with lots of experience. Can’t say enough good things!”
“Kevin was AMAZING with our girl Lily!!! Kevin and their dog Reuben were perfect hosts, Lily absolutely loved her stay :). We got regular updates with great photos and videos, it was so nice to see what a great time she was having! Thank you Kevin -- we would absolutely rebook if there was ever a future need!”
“Christine and Addison were so warm and welcoming to our sweet Nayla. Throughout her stay they kept us very informed with many photos and videos! They slowly introduced Nayla to their cats at the appropriate time and nurtured a wonderful experience for all. We couldn’t be more thankful to them!”
“Sabina took care of our pup for 5 days as we were out of town. Throughout the process, she was super responsive and thoughtful to our needs, picked up our dog from someone else’s place, and even allowed us to deliver food to her home. She continuously sent photos and videos to reassure us that our dog was in a safe and pet friendly place. I would highly recommend Sabina to anyone looking to have their dog boarded, we will definitely be using her again!”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Ivette and her husband took really good care of my pup! He was happy and well-fed when he returned home :) They were also very accommodating and sent a lot of photos. Alfie had a great time and we will be booking again in the future.”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“Anne was absolutely amazing! Our pup developed a bad hot spot right before we left for a family trip, and she took such great care of him. She made sure he got his medication on time, kept us updated with regular check-ins, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Ryan was the best. He was flexible and took care of my girl like his own. He took her out for walks and sent updates and photos. I felt safe leaving her with Ryan. Will definitely book him again!”
“Kevin was amazing! He was communicative, sent tons of adorable pics, and made Maui feel right at home. She had a blast and can’t wait to stay with Kevin again!”
“10/10 would leave our pup with Pooja again! She is very experienced with dog sitting, and it was clear our dog had a great time. Pooja was easy to communicate with throughout our time away, regularly providing us photo/video updates. Thank you Pooja!”
“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”

We could not have asked for better dog sitters. Breana and Adam took amazing care of our dog while we were away. They sent photo updates every single day and were warm, and professional. We will absolutely have Crush stay with then again and highly recommend them to anyone who wants peace of mind while traveling. Thank you both so much!
Sal & Troy have been dog sitting our floofs Hunter & Lavender for the past year. I think I’ve officially lost count what number visit this was, and it’s a 10 star experience every time (especially during a heat wave!). Thank you Sal & Troy for keeping them cool, safe, and very well taken care of!
We are incredibly grateful for the care and patience our sitter showed with our challenging dog. When the original plan wasn't working, he thoughtfully adapted and came up with an alternative approach that prioritized our pup's comfort, safety, and well-being. He was willing to try the suggestions we provided and remained flexible throughout the stay. Despite some challenges, he stayed committed, followed through on the plan, and made sure our dog was cared for and not overly stressed. His dedication, communication, and willingness to problem-solve gave us peace of mind during a difficult situation. We truly appreciate his efforts and would recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. Anyone familiar with Shibas knows they can be a handful so his patience and understanding meant a great deal to us. Thank you for taking such good care of Yoshi. ❤️
Jessica took great care of our dog Kenny for 5 days while we were on vacation. She was flexible on pick up and drop off and very responsive. We got a lot of great photos as well! This is the 2nd time that Jessica cared for Kenny and we would definitely ask her to watch him again in the future.
Grace took good care of our senior pooch! She took the time to meet with us and flexible in timing. Attentive, patient and understood dog personalities that your dog is in goods hands. She is currently taking care of a rescue but made sure our dog was equally treated like her own. Thanks and would recommend/book Grace!
Grace was a fantastic sitter, would absolutely ask her to watch my dog again! Sent lots of photos where my pup, Lara, looked thrilled to be there :) Also realized that I had miscounted my dog food cans and really kindly picked up more. Lara was definitely sad to leave and clearly had a great time hanging out with her! Would absolutely recommend her and book again!
