“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”


2. Melissa W.

“Melissa was great! Allowed me to book at the very last minute and my dog Charli was well taken care of and seemed happy and comfortable the second we got there. Thanks, Melissa!!!”


3. Jenn & Brian H.

“This couple was great. They allowed me to see how my dog interacted with their dogs before I left so I felt very comfortable with the entire situation. They sent several pix/updates while I was away and when I picked up my dog I could tell he was well cared for. I would have this couple care for my dog again without hesitation.”


4. Erika B.

“Love, love, love Erika and Huxley! We were a bit nervous to leave our 12 week old, high energy Great Dane pup with a sitter for vacation. From minute one of booking, we knew Erika would be awesome. We did a meet n greet first to ensure the dogs were a good fit. We received daily updates with photo’s of our pup with her new friend Huxley. I think our pups are going to be life long friends! We won’t be using anyone else from this point on!”


5. Mindy L.

“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”


6. Alena g.

“Super easy booking experience. Kept in contact giving updates the whole time. Definitely made it a lot easier to leave him behind. 10/10 recommend!”


7. Kimberly M.

“Couldn’t be more happier to had crossed paths with Kimberly. She understands my crisis I’m in and has been nothing but welcoming, supportive, sends updates of my pets, in communication there is never any delays which is great. I’m able to pop in to check and get love from my pets which is more than ever needed for me at this time. I’m greatful for Kimberly and the outstanding service she provides for my pets. I’d highly recommend Kimberly to other fur parents”


8. Monica T.


“This was my first time ever boarding Winnie and Monica put me so at ease with leaving him in her care. She even spent extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with hers before I booked an overnight and she kept me informed on how he was doing with texts, photos and video. I would not hesitate to book a stay with her again!”


9. Amanda S.

“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”


10. Denae & Mark G.

“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”


11. Michelle B.

“Michelle was great with our dog Jack. She sent lots of photos and he received great care. We will definitely use her again when we need to be away.”


12. Meghana Devi P.

“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”


13. amanda j.

“Amanda, is the best sitter in Buffalo. She is great with my dog. She communicates really well and Selena loves going there for boarding. Thank you so much!!!!”




14. Jin M.

“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”


15. Miranda W.

“Miranda was an absolutely amazing caretaker for Obi! Miranda sent me pictures throughout the weekend and let me know what Obi was up to. I’ll definitely be booking with Miranda again!”


16. Annalisa R.

“Annalisa is amazing! She watched two dogs for us, one of which was a puppy in heat, and she was absolutely fantastic. She even changed and washed her diaper multiple times! Annalisa was also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which really separates her from the pack. She has a true passion for dogs, and it's wonderful to be able to leave your furry friends with someone you can trust. We will absolutely be using her for all of our future dog-watching needs!”


17. Jaddua J.

“If I could rate higher than five stars, I would! Jaddua is incredible. I received daily updates, photos, and videos of my cats while they were in his care, and he was extremely accommodating and kind. I will definitely be using his services in the future (and highly recommend them)!”


18. Valerie J.

“Valerie did such a great job taking care of my senior pup! She communicated well, was super sweet, and very understanding about the extra care a senior pup needs. I could tell Skip was in the best hands while I was away! I definitely recommend Valerie to any dog parent:)”


19. Dana & Jeremy H.


“Dana and Jeremy were wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog and Dana and Jeremy made the process easy and treated our pup as their own. They were eager to learn his routine, kept it consistent, and sent regular updates. Their attentiveness provided the peace of mind needed to really enjoy our vacation. We are excited for the next time our dog gets to visit them!”


20. Beverly B.

“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”
