“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Excellent sitter!!!! I felt very comfortable with Alexis from the moment I met her. She responded quick into setting up a meet n greet and was able to accommodate my schedule. Once I left on my trip, she provided me updates as well as ensuring me Porsha was doing great before I went off the grid with communication. She was able to accommodate my needs of having Porsha dropped off before I came home. Highly recommend and will use her on my future travels.”
“Adam was great with my cat, Griffin. It was obvious my cat was very happy and well taken care of. I wish that I knew Adam booked multiple animals - both dogs and cats - in his home at a time. That said, the dog he owns, Hermes, is awesome and super friendly; Griffin and Hermes were immediately friends. Adam was also very responsive. Will definitely book with Adam again!”
“Excellent cat sitter! My cat had a great time, and Yuan and her husband were very communicative and shared lots of cute photos and videos! I can tell my cat was very relaxed in their space—definitely a go to sitter!”
“Danielle and Steven were amazing! They took Minnie in for boarding and treated her like one of their own. I appreciated the photo updates, especially the sweet ones of her hanging out with Gizmo.”
“Michael and his girlfriend took really good care of my dog, patiently attending to his needs. They kept me updated with many pictures. I would use them for boarding again without hesitation.”
“Angie is the best! I was traveling internationally for 9 days and had 0 concerns leaving Penny with Angie and Paco! Angie always has fun things planned, whether it’s a nature walk or a treat, my pup loves her stays!”
“I rebooked Meiqi and the minute my dog saw her he ran up into her arms! 🥹🥰 I am so grateful for Meiqi she loves my dog like her own and keeps him active with fun trips to places where my dog can sniff around and get his energy out. I also appreciate all the cute pictures she sends while he stays with Meiqi. My dog has become friends with her dog and it warms my heart to know when he’s happy and having fun when I’m traveling. Thank you, Meiqi! We’ll see you soon!”
“As always, Hawthorne and Wei took excellent care of my dog while I was away. Particularly appreciate their willingness to accommodate last minute bookings and flexibility around pickups.”
“Diane did an excellent job keeping us updated on Sandy Cheeks's day to day activities. She made sure that our dog was comfortable and taken care of. I definitely recommend her services.”
“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.”
“Evelien is the best sitter!! She is extremely friendly, responsive, and so kind. She sent me so many pictures and updates of my dog Dash. When I came to pick him up he was so happy and seemed like he had the best weekend. I will be using Evelien again in the future and can’t recommend her enough 😊😊”
“I can’t say enough good things about my dog sitter! He is incredibly loving, caring, and reliable, and it’s clear how much he truly loves animals. Every time he takes care of my dog Fanni, I know my pup is in great hands. He’s also very responsive, always quick to answer messages and give updates, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy looking after my dog — I highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”
“Elanor was amazing. The drop-off and pick-up process was very smooth and easy. She was exceptionally great to communicate with, and she showed genuine care by asking for all the details about my dog's routine. I appreciate everything she did and highly recommend her.”
“Avraham and Natasha were amazing with my pup Lucky. They made sure to send videos/photos and kept me updated throughout Lucky’s stay. They also followed my care instructions and were thoughtful of Lucky’s needs. Thank you!!”
“Bridget is the best sitter ever! Our little baby had a great time with Bridget’s sweet dog so it was like one long playdate. Bridget sent lots of photos to make us feel comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter experience.”
“Ana and Luis are our choice for caring for our dog when we travel so we are “a repeat client.” They are caring, responsive and make our dog feel at home. It was a great stay - again.”
“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.”
“I would absolutely recommend Stasia and book her again. This was our first time using Rover for boarding and Moose had a blast making new friends and running around in a yard - she was on a vacation of her own! Stasia was a prompt communicator, sent lots of picture uodates, and was extra patient and accommodating with our anxious girl. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of care provided.”
“We left Phoebe with Angela for a short stint, and felt very comfortable. Angela is in a doorman building, her apartment is spotless, and she was on top of her duties the entire time. She sent us photo after photo showing Phoebe enjoying herself. When I picked her up, Phoebe dug in her heels and didn't want to leave. We will definitely repeat.”
Upper East Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Do yourself a favor and book with Tiffany. She’s truly wonderful! warm, attentive, and consistently excellent at what she does. Every visit is a great experience (photos, info, etc) and it’s no surprise we find ourselves returning to her again and again. Highly recommend!
Duncan has been incredible with Gus! Communication is always easy and consistent, I get great updates and the cutest pictures while I’m away. It’s clear how much he cares, and Gus absolutely lights up every time he sees him and his dog Milo. Knowing Gus is having fun, getting plenty of attention, and spending time with his buddy Milo gives me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Miki is a wonderful sitter — She was incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially when my flight was delayed and I suddenly needed an extra day. She made everything effortless: drop-off and pick-up were fast, smooth, and stress-free, which helped a lot because I was in a rush. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, and I could tell my dog was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. She’s professional, friendly, and has a great, calm energy that dogs respond to right away. The location is easy to get to, which made the whole process even simpler. Highly recommended — I’d trust her with my dog anytime.
As puppy parents, we are worrywarts! However, Stella made it easy to enjoy our time away (out of the country) while Obi spent a week with her. She took our high-energy / rambunctious little guy to the dog run daily and provided us with updates + pics every day. Although he did get into certain things he wasn’t suppose to, Stella was very patient and understanding. Thank you so much!
Riceli always takes such amazing care of my pup Vinny! We’ve had her pet sit more than 3 times and everytime, Vinny gladly follows her inside! She is super attentive and responds quickly! She sends us pictures and videos! She is such a kind person! I highly recommend her services!!
Just picked up our little guy from Joel and Marissa after 8 days, and have never felt more reassured with sitters in my life. Walter unfortunately had a seizure cluster two days before we were due to travel, and Joel/Marissa took the best care of him, his required medications, and provided great updates to make us feel secure whilst we were away. Walter can be a complicated little dude, but there were zero issues, and will without question be reaching out the next time we need someone to take care of Walter.
