“Kecia was so wonderful with our dog, she is very caring, patient, and loving! Throughout the few days our dog stayed with her, she cared for our dog as if she was one of her own. Kecia is very communicative, provided updates and pictures and seemed to really understand our dog's quirks and needs. We know she is good hands with Kecia. Highly recommend Kecia!”
“Summer was amazing! Very tentative, detail oriented dog sitter, and Kylo already misses her. She was great at providing updates and taking good care over an extended stay!! Summer will be a go-to dogsitter and adopted aunt of Kylo’s!”
“Kira and her family welcomed our dog, Sylvie, over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was clear Sylvie was having a great time and was well cared for during her visit— Kira was responsive and shared updates throughout the day. Sylvie was sad to leave her new playmates and we will definitely reach out to Kira the next time we need dog sitting help! Thank you!”
“Amy was amazing! She was super easy to reach, sent photos, and updated us as much as she could. Doggo was very happy and had a pep to her step after 😊”
“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”
“Avraham was amazing! Always communicative throughout our NYC stay that me & my wife felt so relaxed knowing Mochi was in good hands. Very grateful to have found him. Thank you for the first and the most fantastic Rover experience.”
“David was absolutely the best!! This was the first time leaving my 8-month old pup since we got him and I was so nervous and from the second I met David I felt comfortable. We left for the weekend and David sent me updates from the second I left. I got many pictures throughout the weekend and I could tell that my pup was having fun. David even took him to the pet store to pick out a chew bone :) truly the best and I have no doubt we will be leaving our pup with David again! So glad I found him!!”
“The best home away from home for my pup! Such peace of mind knowing that my pup was so well cared for. Kris and Kaylie kept me updated throughout, and both gave my pup lots of love and care. So grateful to have found these terrific pup whisperers!”
“Nirvana was wonderful!! She kept us updated with lovely pictures daily and Izzy seemed so happy with her. Everything was smooth and easy- we had such peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Nirvana again!”
“Tory is amazing! I was hesitant about boarding my dog for the first time over the holidays, but Tory made me feel so comfortable (& my dog Lucky)! I received multiple updates throughout the day and Lucky came home both happy and exhausted from all the playing in her backyard! I will absolutely be booking Tory again in the future and recommending her to other dog parents!”
“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Miruna!! She is the best dog sitter! We had last minute plans fall through for dog sitting options so we went to Miruna a few days before we needed her for an 11 day dog sitting job. Miruna was ready immediately and took Prince in with ease. She was absolutely the best with taking care of our little guy. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures and videos of Prince throughout the days. We were always certain he was getting the best care and was having a blast the entire time! She even got him a new toy and a little outfit to keep!”
“Mari was able to watch my dog on short notice and he clearly had a great time! She was very attentive and communicative — sent a lot of nice pictures of him throughout the day. Thank you !”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“Eva and Tyler took excellent care of our dog Harlan, who was also able to get to know their cat. They sent loads of pics and our pup clearly had a great time! I think he was a little sad to come home.”
“We have had Anne watch our Golden Retriever, Winnie, multiple times and couldn’t recommend enough! She takes the best care of her and truly cares about her. Her communication is great and is flexible when schedules changes. Thank you Anne!”
“Hank had such a great time and I received pictures and updated the whole time. It’s always stressful leaving your dog with me people but Junaid and Tina were great and I’d love to use them again!”
“Angie did an incredible job in caring for our 17 year old senior dog for 10 days when we went on winter break. Our 60lb dog needs a booty lift to get a head start for her walks and some help with peeing. Angie was very patient in encouraging her to walk a little more each day. Angie also kept us updated daily with pictures and videos. She really took care of our dog as if she were her own and this is the 2nd time we’ve used her. We highly recommend Angie! And will definitely use her again.”
“Ellana was extremely caring and communicative and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of Ellie. She provided timely updates and pictures and asked pertinent questions to make sure she was providing the best possible care. I will be going back to Ellana for any future dogsitting needs.”
“Lauren was great with Rupert. She sent multiple pictures and videos during his stay. Her dog Lila seemed like a perfect play match. See you around the neighborhood. Thanks again for accommodating on short notice! A+”

New York City dog 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.
