“Kira is absolutely amazing with dogs and our go-to sitter. We have a high-energy pup and Kira is great with her and has a calming effect. She’s a great communicator and I’d highly recommend her!”


“Look no further. You have arrived at your destination! Susan was the most warm and loving pet parent to my Loki while my husband and I enjoyed a much needed vacation. Selfishly, I am reluctant to recommend as we'd like to keep her all to ourselves. However, I am more than happy to promote & share the love! Susan's maternal energy truly puts us at ease. She treated Loki as her own by feeding him organic produce, brushing his teeth, combing his fur & even cleaned the gook out of eyes daily! They enjoyed multiple walks per day and socialized at parks nearby which kept him happy. We also received a few pics and videos throughout, which made us very happy! Thank you, Susan! We thoroughly enjoyed our time away worry-free. You're the best!!❤️”


“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.”


“Eva and Tyler took great care of my pup! Provided frequent updates and were quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. Would absolutely recommend them!”


“We had never boarded our toy poodle in Manhattan before, but circumstances required us to engage a sitter for nine days. David came highly recommended aand we soon learned why. He has a natural affinity for small dogs, treats them like a member of the family and unfailingly provides charming updates with great photos three times a day. Our pup felt like the toast of the town checking in at David's favorite Chelsea haunts. He knows who keeps the treats behind the counter! We looks forward to a return visit in the near future.”


“Tory was great with our doodles. She sent tons of updates and photos. She has a great setup at her place where the pups can lounge outside or inside. I highly recommend her.”


“Junaid was very professional and took great care of my puppy 👍🏻 I am happy with his services 🤠 highly recommend!! He made sure that she was comfortable and had a great time!”


“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”


“Kylie and Kris were wonderful hosts for the bearded queen, goofball supreme: Mischa 🐾. Mischa and I met Kylie in the park a few weeks prior to our booking; she asked good, comprehensive questions about Mischa’s preferences and routines, and listened attentively. I appreciate that she has experience with senior/special needs dogs (even though Mischa doesn’t have special needs, just very strong preferences.) She kept me up to date throughout the long weekend with jolly pictures. She and Kris showered Mischa with love and care, and in the end, there is nothing better than that!”


“As always, Nirvana was so great to work with and makes everything so easy from booking to pick-up! Sends pictures throughout the stay and answers messages promptly.”


“Can’t say enough good things about Sneha! She took amazing care of my dog, Archie—making sure he got his medications on time and going above and beyond to comfort and love him. Archie got along so well with Sneha’s dog, Tella, that he didn’t even get a chance to miss me! Sneha sent regular photos and videos, and it was clear from his happy face that he was in great hands. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for.”


“Summer is a godsend and the most attentive, communicative rovers we have ever had. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about your pup and ensuring that they (and you) have the ultimate best time. Honestly, I think that was the most exercise and outings our girl has had since moving to New York. She had the time of her life! Kihei cannot wait to go back in vacation too (at summer’s).”


“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!”


“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Miruna!! She is the best dog sitter! We had last minute plans fall through for dog sitting options so we went to Miruna a few days before we needed her for an 11 day dog sitting job. Miruna was ready immediately and took Prince in with ease. She was absolutely the best with taking care of our little guy. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures and videos of Prince throughout the days. We were always certain he was getting the best care and was having a blast the entire time! She even got him a new toy and a little outfit to keep!”


“Patrice and Alex were wonderful with Rooney. They took care of him very well, made sure he had lots of fun, and took care of his needs. We got consistent photo updates from Pat and Alex, and they were so thorough in making sure Rooney felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. They slowly introduced him into their home and were extremely attentive to his needs. Pepper was a lovely friend for Rooney too, being so gentle and sweet. They had a meet and greet before boarding and they got along well. We're so grateful to have found them because Rooney came home with his energy spent and full of joy because of what a great time he had. This is the first time he's boarded with Pat, Alex, and Pepper, but it definitely won't be the last!”


“The absolute best best dog sitter of all time! My piglet can be a handful and Angie gave him the staycation of a lifetime, so grateful for her and cannot recommend enough!”


“Amy was the best sitter while I was away for the weekend! She was communicative, responsive, and gave me tons of updates (including great pics)! My pups loved playing with her dog, and I would trust her to watch them again. She even helped drop them off to make it easier for me - she went above and beyond. Definitely will book with her in the future and you should too!”

“Orlando and Christina are great! They took amazing care of my dog while I was on vacation, providing updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such great hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I truly appreciate their reliability and kindness. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Feel free to personalize it with any specific details that made their service stand out!”


“Jerry sat our dog Meeka for 4 days and did a fantastic job updating us, sending pictures, responding quickly. We will rebook with him next time! Thanks!”

The Waterfront dog parents share their Rover experiences
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5! Quang was absolutely amazing! He was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He kept me well informed and was very thorough, which gave me so much peace of mind while my dog was in his care. I truly appreciate the excellent service he and his wife provided, they are a wonderful team. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters! Thank you Quang!

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 !

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!

Younjae was amazing and very responsive. She was available to do a meet and greet and even had last minute availability which worked out for my schedule. She shared plenty of updates throughout each day and my dog was well taken care of and happy by the time I picked her up. Dime had a blast—her photos and videos she shared reassured me I left dime in good hands while I was away. Thanks so much for taking great care of dime.

Miki is the BEST!!! I was nervous about leaving my pup with a sitter for the first time, but Miki was gentle with him and loved him so much he didn’t have any anxiety leaving with her. Miki took my dog on sniff tours through the flower market and to different dog parks so he would get time to play with other dogs. Each day Miki would send me photos and vids that were so cute I shared them with my friends. He was so happy for five days with no separation issues. I highly recommend Miki and am grateful to have found a sitter I trust implicitly. Thank you Miki!!

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!
