“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“This was my first time using Rover as a sitter and the choice was amazing thanks to Judy. She updated me often and sent pictures. My dog always looked happy and was enjoying herself. I feel safe leaving her with Judy as she is made our first experience a great one!”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Our usual Rover was unavailable and we needed a last minute dog sitter for the day. Monika was available and we’re so happy we met her! She was super responsive, happy to do a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking, and sent us lots of photos of our dog (who doesn’t really like other dogs by the way) playing with her dog Lexi and son! She always let us know how Nate was doing and was good about asking questions for when to feed him, his bathroom schedule, etc. She has a semi fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street convenient to Route 15 if you’re driving that way. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again in the future!”
“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”
“We had such a wonderful experience boarding our miniature dachshund, Bailey! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. Jon took amazing care of her and we are really impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We could tell he was treated like family. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog boarder!”
“Karine was absolutely wonderful. We could tell our pup was expertly cared for during our time away. He had an amazing time with Karine, her husband and the other dogs. She was very consistent with updates, and made us feel at ease during the whole stay. We would recommend her to anyone 1000%”
“Ollie had a wonderful time with Rich and made some new friends. Rich shared Ollie’s pictures everyday which my entire family would look forward to and enjoy. I brought Ollie home today, tired from all the running around and playing with his new friends in the fenced yard. Thanks again Rich and Ollie is looking forward to spending more time with you.”
“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
“Nandita was patient and caring with my dog, allowing her time to natural time adjust to the new environment and meet Nandita’s dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Nicole was so kind to our Rosie who was a bit nervous at first. Her dog and Rosie loved playing all day and we received constant communication! Thank You Nicole and family. We will book again for sure!”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Yenis was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Looked like our dog Tex had a great time and felt super comfortable! Would definitely book again 😊”
“Melissa and her husband watched over my dog, Charlie, while I was out of town for a long weekend. I had recently moved to the area and have not had to use sitters that weren’t family in the past, so Charlie had some heightened anxiety. Melissa was wonderful and patient with Charlie, and helped to ease my stress over Charlie’s anxiety. She treated Charlie like one of her own, provided regular and thorough photos, videos and updates, and went above and beyond to way make him comfortable when he had some tummy issues. Would highly recommend using Melissa for your dog care needs.”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Hank loves staying with LisaLeigh, which makes leaving him more comfortable for us. She takes great care of him, sends photos throughout the day, and is always communicative.”
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”

Kevin was enthusiastic & held the reins well, in acting as a surrogate for me, in the care of my lil Pup, who I adore! When I picked him up from his overnight stay… he returned happy, healthy & safe & sound! I also loved the pics he sent me. If needed again in the future, Kevin would be my “go to” caretaker for my Pup!
My dog Pote had the best time boarding with Nicoly and her partner. I could tell absolutely nothing was missed and he was happy with them. He got comfortable to their apartment, they made him feel just like home following his routine. She kept me up to date with messages and photos. You can tell she absolutely loves dogs and is very attentive about their quirks and personality 😊
Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!
Darline took great care of our Mini Aussie (Bentley) while we were away. She provided regular updates and photos while also making sure he was safe and having fun during his stay! It looks like he had more fun than he even has at home! Look forward to booking with Darline again.
Sarah was super friendly and available on short notice, which we really appreciated. We recently moved to the U.S., so our dog is still adjusting to all the new surroundings and changes. Sarah kept me updated and let me know that he was quite restless, and she really tried to understand him and respond to his needs. I’m grateful for her patience and care!
Claire was wonderful hosting my little Yorkie for two full days while I was away. He was in great hands!! She was caring, loving and super patient with him. I received very detailed updates about his stay and he was super relaxed when getting back home. Thank you so much Claire! 🐾
We are super happy with Katherine! She took care of our dog Maxi for a weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Maxi was well cared for and felt comfortable with her. Katherine is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Troy with someone and LisaLeigh made the whole process really easy! She kept me updated throughout the weekend and took great care of him. Troy came home happy and tired, which is all I could ask for. I really appreciated how smooth everything went and how flexible LisaLeigh was with the early pickup and drop off time. Will definitely book with her again for next trips out of town!
Samantha was amazing!! Not only was she extremely accommodating to last-minute schedule changes, Marnie loved her time with her! Samantha sent consistent photos, was very quick to reply to any messages, and was extremely welcoming - which put Marnie right as ease. We picked up a smiling and happy dog!!
