“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!!”
“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!”
“Kecia is a very caring person . She took very good care of my 2 years and 2month old fur Baby. Send me pics everyday to let me know he was good and I loved that .”
“My dog, Mia, stayed with Minako while I was away. Mia came home happy & healthy. Minako sent me several photos during Mia’s stay & it was apparent that she was having a great time. I highly recommend Minako as a dog sitter & dog walker.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay”
“Hands down the best sitter we’ve had in New York so far. Renzo was very attentive to the instructions we gave for Louna. He and his wife gave her so much love and attention, and sent us so many beautiful pictures and videos daily, that not at once were we worried for our baby. They made us feel more than comfortable to have her with them and there is no doubt we have found Loulou’s new sitter. Thank you Renzo!!!”
“She was really nice and great! She took care of my cat with love and good care. I got a lot of pictures daily and even videos. Definitely I’ll choose her for the next time as well.”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“Thank you for watching my little buddy during my trip. Updated me with pictures, gave Jesse his medicine, took him for walks and played with him. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!”
“Grace was amazing! I left my dog with her for 10 days and she took very good care of him. She kept me updated, and sent pictures and videos so I would not miss him too much. She is very responsive. I would absolutely leave Chico with her again He was very happy when he came back home, he definitely had a good time :)”
“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”
“I’ve asked Vera to look after Haru a couple of times, and she treated him with the same love and care as if he were part of her own family. Thanks to her, I was able to travel with complete peace of mind. I’d love to ask for her help again next time, and if anyone nearby is looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her.”
“She was so amazing with my cat, Sage and provided outstanding communications and photos. Sage loved her stay and came back happy and healthy!”
“Starry and Gio were excellent communicators and flexible with a flight delay! They sent frequent updates about our dog and we knew she was well taken care of! highly recommend”
“Anky is one of a kind, she's the best dog walker and sitter I've had the pleasure to work with by far. She has great attention to detail, puntuality, diligence and kindness. Most importantly you can tell immediatly she does love animals and truly enjoys taking care of dogs. The moment I left little Trufa with her I knew she would be in good hands. Couldn't recommend more!!”
“Hands down, Angie is the best dog sitter! I had to be away from my dog Benji for 24 long days, which in general, it's hard to be away from our fur babies for any length of time, but I knew he would be in great hands with Angie and put any worries I had at ease. She kept me updated daily with videos and pictures (she is an amazing photographer btw) she gave him lots of cuddles, care and treats and even taught him some new really cool tricks! She walked him daily, followed my instructions of his everyday routines and took him to really cool places in the city and even the beach! She even helped me by taking him to his grooming appointment! He really had the best time with Angie and I know he felt super loved and got spoiled the whole time. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone that needs a sitter for their fur baby. She really cares about her client's and their dogs and it shows! I will definitely be using Angie for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”

The minuet we met Patrice you could feel her warm and beautiful energy. Our dog Gatsby immediately trusted her and it made leaving him much easier. We received daily images and messages and could enjoy our holiday knowing our little one was in safe nourishing hands. Could not recommend Patrice more !!
Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾
Christopher and his family were wonderful sitters. He was very communicative, sent photos, and kept us up to date on how our pups were doing. I was very glad to know the pups were doing well while I was away. I highly recommend booking with Christopher and I definitely will again!
Nicole was incredible with our two dogs (an energetic italian greyhound and an anxious dachshound). I had never used Rover so i thought my dogs would be nervous, however, they seemed so happy and calm with Nicole. She sent pictures often and they were always cuddled up with her. I would 1000% recommend her to any of my friends with dogs. She’s trustworthy and so sweet with the pups. Thanks Nicole!!!!
Ziggy had a great time with Luca! We received adorable photos of our little guy while we were away which were incredibly reassuring (and lovely to see our pup living his best life). Luca clearly is great with dogs and we are so glad to have found such a caring home (in our neighborhood) for our schnauzer!!
