1. Tyler S.
“Tyler was awesome! My dog Ozzy stayed with him for the weekend and was so well cared for. He also sent daily updates which I loved getting. I will certainly have Tyler watch Oz again!”
2. Spencer M.
“They are amazing dog sitters. They did wonderful job for my Benny. Benny is 12 years old and needs a lot of extra care. They are very nice and sweet to Benny. Benny usually comes back home from sisters would be depressed for a day. This time, Benny does not need downtime. She is so cheerful right right after he comes back.”
3. Zwany & Leandro C.
“Zwany and Leandro were absolutely wonderful! Zwany was extremely responsive and kind, and she made sure to do a thorough job learning about my dogs before boarding them. I got so many cute updates throughout the day, and it put my mind at ease to know my dogs were in such a wonderful environment while I was away. Super flexible too, definitely recommend them for anyone looking for boarding!”
4. Miranda M.
“Miranda was great! She was so easy to book with and sent updates throughout the weekend. My two dogs Poppy and Wrigley came home tired and happy. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks again, Miranda!”
5. Lily S.
“Lily is amazing! Excellent communication and very sweet. I could tell my dog was super comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her in the future for additional dog sitting!”
6. Meaghan B.
“Absolutely thrilled with Meaghan’s care for my 4-year-old Aussiedoodle. My dog is high-energy and can be a handful at times, but Meaghan handled him like a pro. From the moment they met, Bronx was smitten with her—tail wagging non-stop, and it was clear they bonded immediately. Meaghan not only kept up with Bronco's energy but also took him on some great adventures, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and attention. When I came home, Bronx was happy, calm, and even better behaved than before! It’s a relief to know that while I’m away, he is in such capable, loving hands. I can't recommend Meaghan enough. If your dog loves an active sitter and lots of affection, she’s the one you need. 10/10!”
7. Seth & Ashley G.
“Seth and Ashley were wonderful dog sitters for my Aussiedoodle Poppy. Poppy can be a little apprehensive when separated from me but she looked to have a blast with Seth and Ashley. They sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Poppy got plenty of walks, play sessions on their building’s rooftop deck, and also one-on-one love. Highly recommend them to any anxious dog parents.”
8. Natasha B.
“Natasha took great care of my dog while I was out of town! She took him on multiple walks throughout the day, gave him all the cuddles and sent me plenty of updates. Will definitely reach out to her again and would highly recommend!”
9. Cora C.
“I was in a bit of a pickle and needed someone to take care of my fur baby with short notice. Cora was very quick to respond in my time of need. She was extremely communicative leading up to the stay and this continued while Knox was in her care. I received several pictures that perfectly illustrated how happy he was due to her great care. I would 100% use Cora again (hopefully with a little more of a heads up).”
10. Irina C.
“Irina is fantastic! She took care of our 1.5 year old dog for a few days and was super communicative throughout. Irina was flexible in scheduling an initial meeting so she could meet our dog, Bruno, before taking care of him. During that time she asked a lot of great questions and this made me feel confident and comfortable in having Bruno stay with her. When we got a Bruno back, he was super calm and happy. 10/10!”
11. Kathryn H.
“Kat took great care of Goose! Easy to communicate with, perfect coordination on the pickup / dropoff. Plenty of time outside having fun, her own dog seemed like a great companion for our pup. Pictures and videos of them playing morning / midday / evening. She clearly loves dogs. Goose doubled back to say bye to her when we picked him up!”
12. Gil O.
“From the beginning, Gil demonstrated an impressive level of attentiveness, taking the time to understand Olive's needs and preferences. Regular updates, complete with photos, reassured me that Olive was not only looked after but genuinely loved. Gil treated Olive as if she were his own, and this personalized approach made all the difference. Throughout the stay, Gil's dedication and responsibility in ensuring Olive's well-being exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Gil to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions—Olive came back happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with the extra love she received. A big thank you to Gil for providing such a wonderful experience—I will undoubtedly be reaching out again for future pet-sitting needs!”
13. Iratxe G.
“Iratxe was so great with our French bulldog! She was very communicative and sent daily updates. She took great care of understanding Putnam’s routine and that he’d be comfortable at her home. I felt really trusting and relaxed with Putnam in her care.”
14. Jim W.
“Jim was a great sitter for our 2 year-old Tai. He was very flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up times, and sent regular updates during our 3-day trip. We would happily use Jim again for boarding in the future.”
15. Donna B.
“Donna was the perfect host to our dog Louie! This was our first week away from him, and she made us feel so at ease with consistent updates and pictures/videos. We will be looking forward to using Donna’s services again— Louie had the best time!”
16. Dana R.
“Dana took great care of Hodu for us and we’re very grateful. One note is that we would have loved to get updates and photos from him without having to ask for them, but overall he was a good sitter. Happy to have gone with him!”
17. Maeve E.
“Maeve is the friendliest and most on top of daily updates and photos, of many Rover sitters I’ve had. My dog was clearly very happy with her. Maeve proactively offered to let me see her place, which was very clean and nice. I appreciated all her communications. I definitely recommend Maeve!”
18. Kristine S.
“As someone who travels frequently, it’s always a challenge to find someone trustworthy to care for my dog. Kristine has been an absolute lifesaver! She not only made sure my dog was completely cared for, she administered his medication, too. Kristine clearly has a way with animals, and I highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for exceptional care!”
19. Gabrielle F.
“Highly recommend! Will be returning for more care. She took amazing care of my dog who is actually a guide dog 🦮 her and her boyfriend did a great job of tiring him out so he was happy and tired when he returned to me :) so I could relax. I have a very energetic dog and really appreciated how much fun he had. she is great at staying in communication and flexible and understanding of dog needs”
20. Adriana P.
