“Jonathan & Rebecca took great care of Coco and as he some company with other pets he was more than happy with them. Would definitely rebook with them.”

“Puddin and Jack had the best time at Yvette’s! Our dogs were with her for 10 days while we were on vacation, and they had a blast playing and lounging in the backyard, snoozing on the couch, and sunbathing outside. Yvette treated our dogs like her own, and we could tell she was giving them so much love and care and snuggles in all her updates. She was super communicative and always kept us posted with how they were doing, and we felt so at ease on our vacation. Definitely recommend Yvette, and we’re looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

“Bill is such a fantastic sitter!! If you're looking for a detail-oriented sitter that does his utmost to make your dog feel comfortable while giving your dog the best of care, please go to him! We left our elderly english bulldog, Lechon, with him for a week. Bill took great care of him. He gave Lechon filtered water, and helped him up the stairs as Lechon struggles with climbing sometimes. Our Lechon doesn't know his limits, so Bill also made sure to limit his play so he had time to breathe and not overexert himself. Bill really kept an eye on Lechon, and we're very pleased with the level of care and consideration Bill had with our elderly bulldog. I highly recommend Bill as a sitter. My family and I will definitely be returning to him in the future for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for everything Bill! Lechon looked so happy and healthy in the picture updates, and upon our arrival. It truly feels like you cared for him as if he were one of your own.”

“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Very good with my pug. She took care of her like her own dog. The backyard was a huge plus. I also got regular updates about her eating and outings. The pictures and video updates were also helpful to put me at ease.”

“Maureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!”

“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”

“We were traveling from out of state to New Jersey and were looking for help in taking care of our Labradoodle. Dhruvit not only accommodated our last minute request but was also very flexible with our late pickup date. Will certainly reach out to Dhruvit for any future help with our pet. thank you Dhruvit! we really appreciate your service and would highly recommend.”

“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”

“Easy 6 out of 5. Jaimie is an excellent sitter, she made sure my pup was happy, active, and comfortable... what more can you ask for with your best fuzzy buddy. I would easily recommend Jaimie to anyone looking for the "right choice" of sitter. She is someone who clearly knows what she's doing, and is very accommodating with people's schedules. She's awesome.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalia and her husband! They were truly exceptional sitters for our dog, Sai. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Natalia sent us daily updates, complete with photos, showing us all the fun activities Sai was enjoying—from walks to outings at the dog park. It was clear Sai was having the time of his life! When Sai experienced a minor GI upset, they handled it with such care and professionalism, following our instructions perfectly. They showed genuine compassion and concern, which meant the world to us. It's rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Natalia and her husband did just that. When we picked Sai up, it was obvious he had bonded with Natalia and saw her as part of his family. He was looking at her like he was going to miss his new friend, which truly warmed our hearts. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their pets. Thank you both for going above and beyond for Sai!”

“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”

They kept us updated on her stay there. Sent pictures. We can tell Nala, was comfortable and happy. We felt relaxed and comfortable having Nala being cared for by Alina & Marco.”

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!
Leaving our two anxious dogs was tough, but our pet sitter was amazing! She completely understood their never being left alone and kept us updated constantly with reassuring messages and photos. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pups was such a relief. We highly recommend her, especially for challenging pets! We'll definitely be using her again.
