“Kathy is truly the best: understanding, patient and calm. A godsend for my anxious dog and our rambunctious puppy. She’s a great communicator throughout the booking and care processes.”


“Fantastic experience ! My dog had such a great time with Kali. She really cares about making sure your dog is happy. My dog was sooo happy. I would highly recommend Kali.”


“Karina was great! She provided an accommodating and inviting atmosphere for my dog. She was in constant communication and made sure Dottie felt comfortable. It was my first experience doing this and I honestly felt at ease. Thank you Karina, will definitely reach out next time I'm going away.”

“Ben took great care of my sweet girl, Penelope, so much that she didn't even notice me when I came to pick her up! He sent many photos and videos of her running around, sleeping, and getting fresh air. I was nervous searching for a dog sitter out of fear of her being mistreated. Ben assuaged all of my fears the second that I met him. His energy is very calm and welcoming. He spoke to his dog, my dog, and a third dog that he was watching with such love and tenderness. I will be contacting him again when I need a sitter.”

“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”

“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”

“Our puppy Mo came back so happy and healthy! We appreciate Megan so much we can tell Mo had an amazing time and she sent us a lot of pictures the whole time! Would definitely rehire her! Her family was so kind as well! Mo came back acting even better than when we left her!”

“Oscar stayed with Meg for 21 days when we were on trip to India. Awesome family. They took care of Oscar as their own dog. We were updated everyday. Never worried about Oscar. Thanks Meg & family”

“One of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover!🙌🏻💎👌🏻 Anton and Maria are incredibly responsible and caring people. Meet and greet, very detailed discussion about health condition and care , medical needs, feeding schedules, walk schedules, sleep schedules, pet’s habits and moods/behavior and many other aspects that will be taken into account to provide the most accurate and comfortable stay for your pet! My baby dog was absolutely happy on every picture they sent!🤩❤️ What surprised me the most- Maria, who’s a professional groomer, could perform a full service work for my dog without a single issue! No one could achieve that before even once for 7 years !😳 Grateful for this experience!🙏🏻”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!
“Excellent experience with boarding our senior dog. Because of our dog's age, we usually travel with him, but in this case that wasn't possible. We met with Brian and his wife before our trip, which gave us an opportunity to see how our dog would fare while we were away, and we felt very comfortable with dropping him off with them. They did a great job taking some special instructions into consideration, given his age. You can tell right away that they are caring "dog people". They sent pictures while we were away, and were available for messaging during the entire trip. We would definitely recommend them as sitters.”

“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”

“I’m always a little nervous leaving Eddie with new sitters, but Samantha made me feel so at ease. She cared for and spoiled Eddie in every way that he deserved, sent me regular (adorable) pictures and updates, and carefully followed every care instruction I gave her. His excitement when I picked him up was showed me just how much he enjoyed his time with her, and I’m sure he can’t wait to go again. Thank you Samantha!”

About: I let sit for my sister and my god parents all the time! I spent time with their cats and dogs have taken care of them all! They love when they favorite human me watch them and we have a lot of fun together! I work 6am-2:30pm and home on the weekends and every evenings ! I would plan my schedule accordingly to make sure that they are well cared for and that they are not by themselves for any length of time! I would provide a great experience for all of who is involved! I look after them as they were my own and with care and love! They will be fed walked played with care and respect! I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!
“Kecia is an incredible dog-sitter! She is highly dependable and friendly. I appreciate how she makes sure to keep me updated on how my dog is doing Highly recommend!”

“Susana was a Godsend for me. She was able to watch my dog over the Christmas holiday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her home is just perfect for accommodating a large dog and the house was spotless. Her natural love for dogs was event in our meet and greet and my dog was overly thrilled to return to her home. I was a little nervous having someone watch my Gustav, but she put me at ease, sent pictures and played fetch with my dog. She also walked him and took him to the dog park. Without a doubt, I will be using Susana again in the future. I am so glad that I found her. She is also very conveniently off the GSP, which was another plus. Thank you again, Susana, for all you do.”

Our high energy golden puppy has an absolute blast each time she stays with Rick! We love that she gets tons of off exploration/play time and outdoor adventures in a safe manner. Rick is super easy to coordinate with and clearly cares about all of the dogs he watches, going above and beyond to make sure that each new dog is a good fit with a short meet and greet with the pack ahead of a stay. Highly recommend if you need a new daycare or boarding option for your pup!

Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.
