“Evelien was genuinely the best! I felt comforted the whole time due to her constant updates and adorable photos! She was responsive and extremely friendly! My Ducky came back happy and in the best mood!!! I will definitely be sending my little boy back to Evelien for future stays and would recommend to anyone else looking for a sitter!”
“Cathy was great with my dog, Millie! It was the first time Millie was away from home and she looked so happy in the pics and communications that Cathy send to me daily. It was great knowing Millie was "at home" away from home!”
“Lola returned for her 2nd stay with Aeli. Again was a terrific experience from drop off to pick up. There is no doubt Lola enjoyed her stay and was very well taken care of. Thank you Aeli for caring for our Lola!!! Would definitely book another stay with Aeli.”
“Brittany was a superstar caregiver. She communicated regularly and clearly about her availability and then with status checks. Lola was very happy with her- she wanted to stay longer! I would definitely recommend Brittany.”
“Priscilla was an amazing sitter. She sent me various updates throughout our dog Dukes stay and was extremely professional and sweet! We will definitely reach out for future stays!!”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Lauryn is amazing. I had an emergency out of town and had to book her last minute. Not only was she welcoming to my two pooches, she treated them like her own. I wasn't sure of my return date and had to keep extended her services. She was understanding and gracious, also putting other fears at ease with staying well communicated and sending me updates with pics of my dogs. She truly understands they are like family. I highly recommend her!”
“Camila was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with photos and videos and took such great care of Winnie. Her dog Milo was also amazing—he and Winnie got along so well and played together perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again—couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”
“Benny had a wonderful time staying with Hope. After some negative experiences staying in a kennel, the difference with Hope was night and day. As a city dog, Benny loved running around in her fenced-in backyard, and he quickly felt at home interacting with the family. Hope gave us routine text updates (and photos!), so we didn't worry about him while we on vacation. As a beagle, Benny is loving but stubborn and Hope was patient and caring with him. Highly recommended, especially if you're nervous about leaving your dog.”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“Another great visit with Elizabeth and her family! We are so relieved leaving Coco with her family knowing Coco is being so well taken care of. Coco comes home exhausted from all the love and attention from her children. Thank you so much!!!”
“Monica and Kelvin provided first class service. We appreciated the opportunity to meet with Kelvin before boarding our dog, Mike. We especially appreciated the photos of our dog, Mikey, during his stay. Scott and Liz”
“Lauren was GREAT!! This was my was first time using Rover. She took the time to answer all of my questions and was so helpful. She is incredibly responsive. I knew even before I dropped Winston off that I made the right decision. Her home is warm and lovely. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative throghout his stay. He had such a good time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I am so glad I found her and you will be too! ?”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“If you're searching for a great dog sitter who will treat your furry friend like family, look no further than Tere. From the moment I entrusted my beloved dig to her care, I knew I made the right choice. Tere exudes warmth and genuine affection for animals, evident in every interaction with my dog. Her attention to detail is unparalleled; she took the time to learn my dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a seamless transition during my absence. From prompt communication to flexibility with scheduling, Tere truly embodies what it means to be a dependable dog sitter. If you're seeking a dog sitter who provides exceptional care, attention, and love, look no further.”
River Vale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!
My dog was so excited when I brought her to Cathy's she couldn't wait to go inside & meet the other dogs! Cathy pays attention to every detail and she handles any special requests with a smile. She is very responsive and flexible. I know my dog is in good hands when she stays at Cathy's. Thank you Cathy!
Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!
