“Stephanie is wonderful. She took such good care of our 10 yo Labrador, she asked lots of thoughtful questions about how to make her stay as comfortable as possible and sent lots of pictures of their time together.

“Peter was very professional - great communication leading up to boarding our pup and all the way through. Our dog is very nervous but Peter worked hard right away to make him feel comfortable. I could tell from the photos that he was happy and having fun.”
9. Kira E.
“This is the 2nd time my dog, Donut, stayed at Kira’s with her family. She had lots of fun!! Kira and her family treated Donut as their own. We receive many pictures per day during the last week. My dog always looks happy in those pics. I really appreciate Kira’s love for my dog because Donut always needs high maintenance and she had a back injury that needs extra attention. Kira was super responsible and understands our concern. I would highly recommend Kira and will go back to her when we need!”

“Christina was great during our meet and greet. She really took an interest in and put in effort to bond with my little pup in our short time together.”

12. Nitasha & Neerav S.
“Nitasha took great care of our dog while we were away. We received daily updates about his behavior when it came to eating, sleeping and playing. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet, you can trust they will be in good hands with Nitasha.”
13. Robert B.
“Robert has taken great care of our cat, Sammie, for the past two years. Our annual vacation lasts about 8 days, and Robert stops by twice each day for visits and care that last more than an hour each. He provides professional care, administers prescription medication, keeps everything clean and orderly, and is wonderful company for Sammie. Additionally, Robert has been able to stay overnight several times when our pet required it. He is friendly, highly reliable, and texts us with photos when he is with Sammie. My family and I are happy to recommend Robert for your pet care needs. - Jennifer & Jeff, Brooklyn NY”
14. Angie N.
“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!”
15. Eleanor L.
“Eleanor is super thorough, communicative, and made sure she had all the info she needed to make my dog Olive comfortable during her stay. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“Although I don’t get to keep my booking due to a scheduling conflict with work, Cece was very flexible, patient and communicative in a timely manner.”
17. Samantha B.
“Could not feel happier and more comfortable leaving my baby with Samantha. She took amazing care of him and sent so many pictures and videos. Would 100% book her again for cat sitting.”
18. Hoiping N.
“Hoiping was great with Charlie! He’s very attentive and made sure Charlie was well exercised every day. Also great that he helped with basic obedience training!”
19. Syd S.
“Syd was fabulous! We have a very anxious little pup who has not stayed with anyone since before the pandemic. But we were taking a trip and couldn't take him, so we needed to find someone with whom he could stay. To say that my wife was anxious is a great understatement. Syd was professional and communicated clearly during every stage of the process. She also had to coordinate with my in-laws as they were taking over watching our pup. Everything was extremely smooth and well handled. Most importantly, our pup Miles seemed calm and at ease with Syd. It was a great relief to us and made our trip very pleasant knowing that Miles was well taken care of. We look forward to continuing to have Miles stay with Syd in the future.”
20. Rachel B.
“Rachel is amazing! She was very patient with my dog and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable. She would send me detailed reports and pictures to make sure I was always in the loop. I’ll definitely reach out to Rachel again when I need a sitter.”
