Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!

Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.

Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!

Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.

This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!

About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.

Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.

Enrique took great care of Coco. He kept us updated with pictures and she looked comfortable and happy. He was also very flexible with our drop off and pick up times when we were running a bit behind. It was a great first experience with Rover.com. We'll definitely look to book with Enrique again for any future care needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family and friends, and I’m excited to welcome new furry guests into my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. My sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Nina, enjoys meeting new friends and helps make visiting dogs feel right at home. To ensure every pup has enough space and individual attention, I only accept dogs up to 15 pounds. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. I can easily follow your dog’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. My flexible routine allows me to give each guest the attention they deserve instead of leaving them home alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily strolls, and my home is clean, secure, and designed to help small dogs feel comfortable. Because my space is best suited for smaller pups, I only host dogs up to 15 pounds, ensuring everyone has room to relax and play safely. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

Nicolle and Ronaldo provided excellent care for my puppy Pecan during my time away. They kept him active and engaged with plenty of walks, playtime, and even dog park visits with their dog, Luna. It was great to see my pup had company and socialization. The updates were detailed and frequent, and it was clear Pecan was happy and well-cared for. I'd happily book them again!

Angie was absolutely amazing with our 6-month-old puppy! She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, showing his playtime and how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Angie again. Highly recommend!

I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!

Klainer took very good care or our Lulu with daily photos and updates. She was always very quick to reply to all my messages. She also followed the various guidelines we gave her to best care for our dog. Between her and her cousin, there was almost always someone at home with Lulu which put us at ease.

Maisha, is the best. We left our pup with her during our wedding and she made sure that our pup was fed and constantly sent update updates to let us know that our pup was okay. Maisha, was very communicative and responsive from the beginning and maintained communication throughout the whole process. We were a little nervous as this was our first experience using Rover however, we will definitely continue to use it in the future and book again with Maisha. Dont be hesitant, shes the best!!

From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!
