“Kira was amazing! She treated Maya so well and gave me photo updates of her throughout the stay. I'd definitely ask her to take care of Maya again! Thank you!”
“Nitasha and Neerav were amazing with my corgi while I was abroad. I received consistent updates, pictures and videos daily, and would gladly book with them again!”
“It was great booking with Orlando and Christina again. They were very accommodating while boarding our dog when we went out of town for a few days. They sent pictures and maintained communication with us throughout his stay!”
“SUMMER IS AMAZING!! We’ve had such a great experience with her as our dog sitter. It’s clear from the start that she’s a true dog lover - our pup warmed to her immediately and always comes home happy and relaxed. Summer is incredibly thorough and attentive, taking the time to understand our dog’s needs and routine. She also sends consistent updates, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. She is very punctual (i.e., always ready for pick-up/drop-off) and has always been super flexible with our schedule when plans change. She’s even helped us out in cases where we needed a last-minute sitter, which was a huge lifesaver. It’s such a relief to know our dog is in such caring and capable hands and that we have a go-to sitter in the city. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”
“Patrice and Alex took wonderful care of my dog! They provided lots of updates and cute pictures each day of the stay. Their dog Pepper seems very sweet and the dogs got along well. My dog got lots of love and attention from Alex and Patrice, and it was clear from the photos how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We just moved to JC and needed a new Rover sitter. From reviews and feedback, Sal and Troy jumped out at us right away. From the moment we did the meet and greet we felt comfortable leaving Banksy with them. They asked great questions and were on the ball. They were great! We came back to a happy pup. They are def our go to in JC from now on. Highly recommend them!”
“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”
“Our baby enjoyed his stay with David a lot! David took very good care of Pom Pom - he walked him twice everyday, brought him to brunch, played a lot with him, and I can tell David genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Pom Pom is a very clingy dog, he has to sleep with humans at night. So I much appreciated it that David didn’t mind having Pom Pom sleeping in bed with him at night. Also David was very responsive in messages and sent us bunch of updates with pictures throughout the day during Pom Pom’s stay. We would definitely recommend David and you can trust that your pup will be in good hands!”
“Susan was great. We were very nervous to leave our young (1.5 year old) dog for the first time, but Susan reassured us and kept us informed everyday with how he was doing. Susan made sure to play him and walk him often. We could tell from the videos Susan sent us that he had a fun time.”
“We're so grateful to Junaid and Tina for taking such great care of our 5-month-old pup, Nova. We were anxious about leaving her for the first time while we were away, but Junaid, Tina, and their dog Juju were amazing. They kept us updated every step of the way, which made us feel so much better. It was great to see Nova and Juju becomes play mates, and to have Nova come back home looking happy, healthy, and smelling great too! Even when our return flight got delayed, Junaid and Tina were super understanding and made sure Nova was well taken care of until we could pick her up. If you need someone to look after your furry friend with love and care, Junaid and Tina are the ones to go to. Nova can't wait to hang out with them again. Thanks a ton!”
“Amy was an amazing dog sitter. My dog is a rescue dog and he doesn't trust humans too much, but Amy was great with him, she was very patient with him. Her dog is also sweet and friendly. Amy sent me pictures every day and kept me informed. She even gave Auro a bath, because he got really dirty. Highly recommended. I would use her services again.”
“11/10! First time using Rover and it could not have been a better experience. Tory has the perfect setup for taking care of dogs with plenty of indoor space and a private outdoor terrace that's like a private playground for the dogs. Was very easy to communicate with her and coordinate drop off/pick up. Will definitely look for her again next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”
“Andrew was responsive and kind and took great care of Poppy! Even better was that his dog Mango was a wonderful companion for our 6 month old puppy and they played and got along great. Our dog is home and now sleeping, which is ideal : )”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“Matthew and Macon communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I was a little nervous since we weren’t able to have a meet and greet, but Tobey did well. I will definitely book with them again.”
“I’m scared to give Miruna 5 stars because I feel like she’s rover’s best kept secret and now everyone’s gonna know! She was AMAZING. My pup had a blast with her, she was incredibly communicative and treated my dog as if she was her own. Couldn’t ask for a better rover experience”
“Nora and Anne took great care of my dog Whitney. They were super communicative and flexible with my schedule. I felt certain that my pup was in good hands while I was away!”
“Sneha is an amazing dog sitter! She constantly sends updates and photos, is incredibly patient and attentive, and it’s clear she has a real passion and love for dogs, it’s infectious! . My dog had an absolute blast with her and the other dogs. She creates such a fun, stimulating environment that keeps them happy and engaged the entire time. I came back to a tired, happy pup and total peace of mind. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

The Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christian was absolutely amazing. The daily updates were so appreciated, as I was so nervous on leaving my puppy alone for the first time. My flight also landed later than anticipated and he was kind enough to extend the drop off time to work better for my lateness.. my puppy came back grinning with a smile from ear to ear, I know he was properly cared for. Highly recommend and would love to use him again in the future !
Roselena took great care of my dog! Cream felt very comfortable with her. My dog was unsocialized with other dogs, but during her stay, she learned how to play with them. Roselena communicates well and sends pictures of the dog everyday. I was scared because this was my first time leaving Cream with a sitter, but I definitely trust Roselena to take in Cream next time we go on vacation!
Sarah N. provided great care for our 8-month-old puppy. She was very communicative; quick to answer my questions; and sent cute, helpful updates with pictures and video. The cherry on top was how well her dog played with our pup. We will definitely be using her again!
Emre was so amazing!! Very loving and caring to my Momo. He has great communication and regularly sent updates and pictures on Momo’s care. He asked great questions to make sure he met all my dog’s needs. Momo had a great time and I know she will miss him. Definitely will reach out to him again when boarding is needed. We had peace of mind knowing she was in his care during our trip!
This was our first time finding a dog sitter for our five-month-old puppy, and the entire process and experience went incredibly smoothly, putting us completely at ease! Monica and her family were extremely warm and welcoming, and we can tell how much they love pets. Monica consistently sent us updates with photos and videos of our puppy every few hours. She also strictly followed our feeding schedule to ensure our puppy was fed on time. Our little pup looked so happy in all the videos! This was definitely a fantastic experience. We’re so glad that we made this choice. 100% recommend Monica!
I had a fantastic experience boarding my dog here. Nitasha was friendly and attentive. My dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I really appreciated the updates and photos during his stay. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pet!
Kira is amazing! She took incredible care of our dog and kept us informed every few hours with photos and updates. We felt at peace leaving our pet with Kira, her family is also very caring and enjoy playing with our dog. We strongly recommend Kira and I am sure our dog Astro would love to go back and spend time with Kira in the future.
Pamela is kind-hearted, super-positive, and a loving caretaker! We felt reassured throughout this, our first time leaving Lyra with her. From her texts, videos, and photos, we could tell that Lyra was happy and comfortable. We would definitely book Pamela again!
Anne was great!! She took the time to get to know Arya before committing to make sure it was a good fit. I love that she took it seriously to ensure safety! It really put my mind at ease! She sent updates and pictures and even gave Arya a new leash and harness! She was sweet and kind with Arya and had lots of toys and areas for Arya to play and hang! And that balcony-breathtaking!!! I felt comfortable leaving my little fur baby with Anne and would definitely use Anne the next time I need a sitter! Thanks Anne!!! ❤️
Claudia took such good care of our dog. She went above and beyond making us feel assured that he was happy and thriving while we were on our 2 week trip. She took him on adventures and made sure he had plenty of toys. She gave us the most thoughtful updates and made sure he had plenty of food and supplies through out. It is clear she is such an animal lover and a great care taker. We would love to book Claudia in the future!
