“My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!”


“Yuberkis did an amazing job watching over our two dogs over the past week. She took excellent care of them and sent us many updates throughout the week with photos and videos, and was easily accessible via Rover. We are so grateful to have used her, and will definitely book with her again!”


“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”


“Koryn did an excellent watching our dog sumo. We got daily updates with pictures and videos, and always responded to my questions or inquiries. Our dog sumo was very well taken care of from homemade dog treats, lots of walks and exercise and play time. We will definitely be using koryn again. Highly recommend!!”


“Thank you for looking after Biscuit, he loves staying with you and came home exhausted from all the exercise and running around your huge yard💕”


“Our Harley has never been so happy staying away from home. He was smiling every day! Corinne & John are excellent, reliable and very kind. So glad we found a second family for our Harley! Thank you Corinne & John! See you again soon.”


“Amanda and her family were amazing with Hudson. He seemed to have a great time and we would def love use her again when we are in the NJ area. She sent updates with pictures/videos every day which was very nice. Thank you so much Amanda!!”


“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica! While I was traveling, my dog required unexpected medical attention, and Jessica went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. She immediately recognized the issue, took her to the vet, and kept me updated throughout the process, which gave me such peace of mind. Jessica treated my dog as if she were her own, providing excellent care, administering medications as instructed, and showering her with love and attention during her recovery. It's clear that Jessica is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated. I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jessica, for everything!”



“Kora was well cared for, I received pics and updates throughout her stay. Great experience and will definitely reach out when Kora needs a place to stay for a few days.”


“Shiina is the best. She (and her family) took such good care of our dogs that we didn’t have to worry one second about them. Multiple walks a day, play time, and getting tucked in at night made their stay a pleasure. Oh and she feeds them better than I do. My only reluctance in recommending Shiina is that she won’t be available for our pups when we need her! We can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”



“Manuel was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the start, it was clear he truly cared—our pup took to him right away. We came home to a happy, calm dog and felt completely at ease thanks to his thoughtful updates. We’re so grateful and would trust Manuel again in a heartbeat!”


“Jessica was very proactive in her communications. We were at ease because of all the periodic communications, photos and videos that shared with us. The house was very welcoming to our little fur baby. Thanks again Jessica for taking care of Lizzie.”


“Our dog, Savannah, had a great experience with Mateo!! She got along great with his other dogs, Casper and Mocha, and their cat, Gabriela!! Mateo kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages about how she was doing. She was very happy with them. I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”


“Our Roxy, a Siberian Husky girl, had a fun filled 9-day vacation with Shirley while we traveled. Shirley sent us many cute and happy photos of Roxy playing in nature and snow. Shirley is always pleasant and positive, she loves dogs and loves outdoor activities herself, our Roxy had more exercises with Shirley than with us at home! Highly recommended.”


“Robert provided excellent care for our dogs while we were away for a long weekend. . He communicated plenty throughout so we know the doggies are happy and meeting new friends. He is very dedicated and professional. Will recommend and use again.”



“Anna has watched our dog, Otis, a few times now and I’m so glad we found her! Otis can be a little skittish around new people but he was immediately comfortable around both Anna and her mom. Anna has been extremely flexible when our schedule was tough to work around. Looking forward to Otis staying with her again soon!”


“Very positive experience. Karina is very responsive and gave our dog lots of attention. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay.”


“What a wonderful time Millie had. Yan andJingtao were so welcoming and sent so many pictures and videos. Millie looked so happy and got along so well with their dog Toro. We will definitely be back again.”
