“Tank absolutely LOVED his stay with Angie! He came back so calm and happy. We always get worried leaving our Frenchie with anyone but as soon as I met Angie, I knew she would be a great fit. She taught Tank tricks, took him on lots of walks, gave him cuddles, and sent many pictures to help us get through his absence! It helps knowing next time we are out of town, that Angie will be here taking care of our little boy! 🥰 Thanks so much!!”
“Kira and her children were amazing. Sent pictures, took good care of the pup, and Teddy was clearly very happy leaving their home. Thanks for watching him!”
“Kathy was fantastic! Gracie obviously had a fabulous time and didn't want to leave. Kathy sent us pictures and videos during the stay and was super responsive to all communication. Would 100% recommend Kathy to anyone, and hope she's available whenever we need a sitter in the future!”
“Christina as always was amazing with Maui!! She’s watched our older dog multiple times before but this was our first time boarding our new pup. She eased my nervousness and took such great care of him! She’s the best and you feel like you’re giving your pet to a friend versus a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Karin and Charlie are the best! They take the very best care of my fur baby and she loves when she gets to spend time with them. Thank you Karin and Charlie!”
“Kecia did a great job of taking care Minnie! I appreciate everything she did to make her feel comfortable. She took her on walks, had a nice outdoor space for her, and had a sweet dog that Minnie loved to play with. She also gave her plenty of treats! Thanks for taking good care of her!”
“My cat Hugo had a great time staying with Matthew and Maycon! He got a lot of attention and really enjoyed their windows with views of birds. The team was very diligent about sending photos of him and giving updates, as well as flexible around timing when he needed a longer stay. Thank you!!”
“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”
“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!”
“Stephanie was amazing!! Georgette had such a fun time and got so much attention during her stay. She also met lots of dogs and made lots of friends. She had some extra medical attention she needed and Stephanie handled it great. We also got lots of photos and updates. We will definitely have Georgette stay with Stephanie again!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter he always updated me with pictures of my dog ellie and was super quick to respond. She tends to pull on walks but they were able to handle her !”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“Rue had such a great time with Grace! Everything went smooth and Rue felt right at home. Got plenty of cute updates while we were away, would absolutely leave her with Grace again!”
“Summer was fantastic! She was incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs and sent lots of photos and updates, which made me feel at ease while I was away. My dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for—it's clear she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend Summer if you're looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Anky watched Penny while we were away for a long weekend and she was extremely communicative and reliable, sharing lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Eva and Tyler were so amazing with my pup. Constant pictures and communication, play time, and long walks. I have a very energetic dog and the did everything to tire him out for the day. They also helped with his allergy meds and even brought him back home to me after my long flight. Definitely felt comfortable 100% of the time my pup was with them! Will book again!”
“Our dog Chester loves Jelfri! It’s been his third time watching him and Chester feels right at home with Jelfri and his family. Great communication and frequent picture updates which we appreciate!”
“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!”
“Didi was amazing! We were a bit worried since this was the first time we left our pup since we got him, but Didi made us feel very comfortable and took great care of our pup. We met her and did a quick trial run, which gave us great comforts when leaving our puppy with her for 10 days. During the stay, she read our instructions in great detail, kept us updated and in the loop with daily communications. Thanks to Didi we were really able to relax and enjoy our vacation! Would highly recommend her and will definitely book her for our stay.”
New York City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was amazing with our dog Miso. We had to extend 5 separate times because our flights kept getting canceled due to the snowstorm two weeks ago but Jessica was super helpful and flexible and we are very lucky we had her for caring for Miso while we were away. Miso very much enjoyed her time with Jessica and her other dog. Would happily have Jessica care for Miso again!
Pat and Jakob were awesome taking care of my dog for a several-night stay in their home. They are super attentive, responsive, and friendly. They took time to meet with me ahead, kept me updated during, and overall just made me feel confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Even before we met Christina her level of communication and extensive credentials had us at ease. This was our first time leaving our border collie and we know not everyone can handle such a high energy dog. On drop off she reviewed everything with us and took notes on our pups routine. She made Winnie feel so at home with kisses and play, and we received plenty of pictures, videos, and updates while we were away. Her responses were quick, house was spotless, and our pup even had her choice of where to sleep. We are so happy to have a local sitter we can trust. Would recommend to anyone with worries about leaving a dog that requires a ton of attention or can even be difficult at times. We can’t wait to book again!
Jenn took such good care of my dog Nellie. She sent a lot of pictures, and it was clear that Nellie was very comfortable with her. Nellie can be a little particular about eating her food and going out on cold walks now that she’s in her senior years, but Jenn was very patient and understanding about all of that. It was also clear that Jenn read all the care information I provided. Would definitely trust Jenn to take care of Nellie again!
Kjersti deserves a Nobel prize in the service, love and compassion she provides. She takes pride in caring for others animals and offers them a safe space with plenty of love. The ways in which she cared for my two English bulldogs consistently went above and beyond infinity what I ever could have expected. I would never consider another sitter for my fur children whom are my entire world after her. It can be scary to send off precious cargo to a stranger but Kjersti instantly gained my trust and consistently made me feel relieved that my dogs were in the best hands possible and beyond comfortable. She loved and accepted my dogs from the moment I frantically entered her home- even when my little one immediately had an accident upon arrival. She was also presented with sudden unexpected difficulties in my one service animal (paws raw from snow after blizzard) and she went out of her way to nurse her back to health in the most gentle manner. She handled every challenge with grace you simply cannot find. I highly recommend kjersti and would look no further if you need any sort of care for your animal. There is simply no one better than her.
