“David and his partner are great! Our dog had a fun time with lots of walks and play time at the dog park. We got regular pictures/updates and are so happy with the care our dog received.”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Loved having Anastasiia watch my cat, Dimsum. She was great with updates and letting me know how our cat was doing during the stay. Thank you again for everything!”
“Onelsis is truly the best dog sitter! We left our sweet Pearl in her care for three weeks and felt completely at ease the entire time. From day one, Onelsis treated Pearl like she was her own—showering her with love, attention, and care. The communication was incredible! We received multiple photo updates throughout the day, plus a detailed summary each evening about Pearl’s activities, meals, and moods. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pearl was happy, healthy, and thriving while we were away. When we returned, Pearl was calm, joyful, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she felt safe and loved every single day. We are forever grateful to Onelsis for the amazing care and compassion she poured into our fur baby. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Elizabeth was incredibly communicative throughout the entire week we were away. She sent daily photos and updates, and it was clear that Edison was very well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel completely comfortable leaving him with during longer trips!”
“Grace was great with Bentley. I had a last minute request and I was so thankful she could help watch my pup. I got updates the entire time and felt so good with having a busy day”
“Jennifer was great with Wonton. I could tell he was extremely happy with the pictures and videos she consistently sent. I wouldn’t hesitate to board wonton with Jennifer again.”
“Kiersten and Casey did an amazing job with Nyla. She settled in quickly with no issues, which can be a challenge at times with Nyla…,plus I got a few beautiful portraits of Nyla. Talented for sure, you can see their love for dogs. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Best dog watcher I have ever had, felt 100% comfortable the whole week I was away and got regular updates which showed how much fun my dog had and how well taken care of he was - 10/10 recommend :)”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Michael was great with Tazz and kept me updated with him for the 5 days I was traveling. Tazz is a senior dog which has it own quirks and Michael was great handling all of them. I will be booking him again to watch my pup. Thanks Michael you rock!”
“Eli had a wonderful time boarding with CinDee and her family. She was very communicative and flexible, and sent lots of pictures! Eli got lots of love while I was away.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Kaitlyn and Josh were amazing! I felt like my dog was in very good hands and I could totally focus at work. They were attentive and my dog bonded with them quickly. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
New York City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marisa has been our dog sitter for years and Dunkin is still absolutely obsessed with her. She is so flexible with our schedule, takes him places so he’s not alone at home, and always responds immediately. Most recently, we got married and Dunkin was apart of our big day so we had to coordinate with her and Dunkin’s “wedding day dog taxi” to pick up and drop off and again, Marisa was so kind, flexible, and eager to help. I say this as a dog owner of a very attached hyper doodle and as well as a dog sitter - your pets are in great hands with her! Thanks for everything as always Marisa 🥰 Love, Dunkin, Aimee & Austin
I can't say enough good things, dog sitting a 4 month old puppy is no small task and Christina made it seem easy. She was so so flexible with pickup and dropoff,her home is clean and organized,she loves dogs and loved on my puppy. She is so communicative and genuinely loves caring for your dog.
Anne-Charlotte was wonderful to work with! Our very anxious dog Judith spent a long weekend at her apartment, and Anne-Charlotte was so accommodating, personable, and communicative around her care. She followed care directions well (including giving meds), and we would definitely recommend her! Her dog Norah is a total cutie as well :)
I can’t rave enough about Monika and Alejandro! I within minutes of meeting back in good hands. They kept Ruby for three nights while I traveled out of town and they kept me updated every step of the way. I loved receiving photos of Ruby on their balcony and on walks throughout the day. Even when Ruby was having a little tummy issue, Monica and Alejandro were so kind to check in and let me know when the situation improved. We’re so happy to have found our sitters in Jersey City!
Starry & Gio agreed to watch cooper last minute and Im so grateful because he was so well taken care of. They sent many pics and updates on how he was doing and kept great communication throughout his stay. Would absolutely recommend them as sitters and would definitely have cooper stay with them again. Thank you so much!!
