We had an excellent experience with Angie. This was our first time using Rover and Angie took great care of our small dog who has separation anxiety during the week we were away. Her daily photos/videos gave us great comfort as we saw how happy he was. We would definitely use her again!

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!

My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.

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!

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!

Kaitlyn and Josh have been absolutely fantastic! ✨ As a bonded pair (as Kaitlyn has in their profile :)), they bring double the care and love to your furry companions. We contacted them on short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating and attentive throughout the entire process. Their kindness and communication made all the difference. Loha was so comfy and happy with them! We couldn't be happier with our experience and are thrilled to have found such reliable sitters. We highly recommend Kaitlyn and Josh for anyone seeking a loving home for their furry friends. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future! 🐾❤️

We rescued Madre just a few months before we called on Eva to spend the weekend with her and we could not have left our dog in better hands. We felt very comfortable having her stay at our apartment and take care of Madre. It was clear from the beginning she loved dogs, but she also had a special place in her heart for Staffies, who can be easily misjudged. We came home to a very happy dog and a lovely detailed note about Madre's mood and her activities throughout the weekend. We'll definitely book Eva again!

Needed a last minute boarding option and felt reassured after reading Angie’s glowing reviews and doing a meet and greet beforehand. Bitzie felt very comfortable and cozy at Angie’s and seemed to have so much fun. Angie was very thoughtful, communicative, and attentive to my and Bitzie’s needs! Would highly recommend and will be a happily returning client.

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!
