“My husband and I have been using Will as our personal Rocco sitter. My dog Rocco loves going to Wills, spending time with him when we have to travel for work, or back home to Boston. Will always sends me updates, and pictures of Rocco through out his stay. If you are looking for a reliable sitter. Will is your guy!”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“What a great first experience. Our dog Sparrow was immediately happy and comfortable. We got great updates and had easy communication while away. Thank you!”
“She is the best dog sitter I have ever met. She sent photos and videos every day so I could tell my dog had a really great time with her and her dog. She accommodated drop-off & pick-up on our schedule as well.”
“Dhruvit was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my puppy Marko! I had a last-minute request and he was able to accommodate without any issues, which I really appreciated. He carefully understood and followed all of my instructions, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Marko was clearly in great company and had a ton of fun during his stay. Dhruvit was also very communicative and responsive the entire time, keeping me updated regularly. I’ll definitely be rebooking him for any future dog sitting needs—highly recommend!”
“Yvette is hands down the most loving dog boarder by a mile. Elvis is always happy there - be at long stay or short one. We are always satisfied. She always sends us loads of updates and photos and videos and he comes home healthy and well looked after. Perfectly happy he’s very attached to her and you’re very thankful to Robert that we found her. She is a lifesaver. Cannot imagine how we would’ve done without her.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“We found a match for our dog. Bhavani has been so caring and keep sending us updates, photos videos of Yogi . She made us feel confident that Yogi is in good hands while we were away .”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”

“Here’s a polished version of your Rover feedback: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lineth was amazing with my pet! She’s very caring and made sure my pet felt comfortable and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciate how accommodating she was with my early drop-off and pickup times. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring.”
“Letitia was great! She made sure to update me with pics and videos every day. I truly believe Captain enjoyed himself with her dog Bentley, her children and her fenced in backyard. Being that we live in a townhome community Captain doesn’t get the luxury to run around without leash. The best part about Letitia is Captain was the only dog she dog sat during the week bc she respected the fact that he’s not fully vaccinated yet. 😊 I’ll definitely book again! Thank you Letitia.”
“Radwa was the absolute best and super accommodating. We contacted Radwa because my fiance, (now wife) were getting married and our pup was the ring bearer and we needed her to pick him up from the venue after the ceremony. She was great and everything went as planned. Thank you Radwa!!!”

South Amboy dog parents share their Rover experiences
William provided exceptional care for our dog during her weeklong stay. He monitored her eating closely, adjusted her meals when needed, and kept us updated with detailed messages. He shared photos of her having fun and socializing with other dogs, and she integrated beautifully into his home. He also shared little stories, like how she became obsessed with one of Whiskey’s squeaky toys and carried it in and out of the house. It was clear she felt safe, happy, and completely at home. One thing that really stood out was how much William genuinely loves our dog. It wasn’t just care — he connected with her, paid attention to her personality, and treated her like she was part of his family. That kind of care is rare and meant the world to us. His flexibility with pickup after our overnight flight was greatly appreciated. We felt completely confident leaving her in his care and will absolutely rebook with him!
Our dog sitter was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own baby and gave him so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She even introduced him to her dogs, and they had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!
Sobia was the first person I had left my dog with in years. She is awesome. She sent me pictures and a recap everyday of what she did with my boy. She cared for him just like he was her own. I felt so comfortable being away and knowing that someone as kind and caring as Sobia was taking care of my dog. I am going to recommend her to everyone and to anyone who uses the rover app. Thank you Sobia for taking care of my baby!
