“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!”

“Kecia is so wonderful and took such great care of my pup, Luna! She is communicative, kind, and attentive. Would absolutely use her again and will reco her to anyone who needs a sitter”

“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!”

“Britt could not have been more trustworthy, communicative or kind. Our dog is extremely anxious and she made sure to do everything to make him comfortable. We would recommend Britt to anyone that needed a dog sitter.”

“Karin was amazing! She sent us many photos and updates throughout Alden’s stay which made us feel very comfortable. She also gave him lots of attention and love which we greatly appreciated.”

“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!”

“Kira welcomed our dog Sylvie into her family for over a week. She sent daily updates and we could tell Sylvie had a great time during her stay with lots of fetch and playtime. Thank you Kira and family!”

“Eva and Tyler took great care of my pup! Provided frequent updates and were quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. Would absolutely recommend them!”

“Danielle and Andres were excellent! Bean hadn’t stayed with someone new in a while so I was a bit nervous, but I could tell from their many updates and pictures that they made Bean feel extremely comfortable and felt extremely comfortable with him in Andres and Danielle’s care. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to others! Thank you Danielle and Andres for making Bean so comfortable in your home!!”

“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!”

“This was our second time booking with Grace and definitely won’t be the last! She was very attentive and did a great job communicating with us on a daily basis and sending pictures and videos every day! She took great care of our puppy and made us feel very comfortable!”

“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! 🐾❤️”

“Matthew and Macon communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I was a little nervous since we weren’t able to have a meet and greet, but Tobey did well. I will definitely book with them again.”

“Kiersten and Casey are the best! Super accommodating. Just the right amount of pics and updates :) I knew my girl was in good hands the whole time. 10/10!”

“This was Nova’s third stay with Junaid and Tina. Needless to say, it’s become her home away from home for vacations. They always take such good care of her and are so easy to communicate with. So grateful!”


“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! ”
New York City dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.

We were happy to have Grace as a boarder. We had to go out of town unexpectedly and she responded promptly to our request. It was nice and comforting to see pics and videos of our dog she sent us almost daily. She appeared caring of our dog and that’s the most important thing.

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!

Isabel and her partner were incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive. They provided regular updates with photos, which I truly appreciated. Isabel also asked thoughtful questions before Milo’s stay to make sure she could provide the best possible care. I felt completely at ease leaving Milo with them and would absolutely recommend them.
