“I would def recommend Jennifer! She does a great job communicating. She sent pictures of our puppy during her stay. Skylar was very happy upon picking her up and we will def be using Jennifer again for our future needs ♥️”
“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. I left my dog with Nitasha and Neerav while I was away in NYC, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They clearly have a genuine love for animals—my dog was treated like family. I got frequent, thoughtful updates with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they really cared and took the responsibility seriously. I’ll 100% be booking with them again. Highly recommend.”
“What an amazing dog sitter. She was very attentive to our 15 year old dog that is blind. She was able to watch him for over 2 weeks and we got daily updates. She put our minds at ease and I would highly recommend.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Ninoska was our very first experience using Rover, and she absolutely set the bar high! From the moment we met her during the meet-and-greet, we felt at ease she was warm, informative, and so welcoming. We were nervous first-time puppy parents leaving our 15-week-old Lola for the first time, but Ninoska made the whole process smooth and stress-free. While we were away for 4 days, she sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Lola playing and looking so happy. Lola clearly felt at home she even ate more than usual (I think she gained a healthy little pound!), and her tummy was doing great. Ninoska even shared some recipes and snack tips that worked wonders for Lola. Truly a 10/10 experience. Ninoska is not just a sitter she’s a puppy/dog whisperer, and we’re so lucky we found her. We love her and so does Lola!”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“I had such an amazing experience with Diana & Harish. Mimi was not sure to be away from home and I asked to do meet up prior to her appointment. The meet and greet went well. Mimi was very comfortable. I knew when she went and sat by Diana, it was a no brainer! Diana kept me well informed and provided updates. I knew I made the right decision. Mimi thoroughly enjoyed the attention and the love. Hands down, I would definitely book again!”
“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”
“Katherine and Walter are the best! Their house with their awesome back yard is perfect for dogs and they took great care of ours. It was obvious they loved it there they didn’t want to leave lol. They are definitely “dog” people. Thanks a million!!!”
“Neide was so kind and I really felt my dog was in good hands. She's a great communicator and sent plenty of pics and videos. I could tell my dog was very happy in her care !”
“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”
“Misty was absolutely amazing with our dog Yogi while we were away for a week! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent—she sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which really helped us feel at ease and connected to our pup while we were gone. She went above and beyond by picking Yogi up super early and even dropping him off when we got back, which was such a huge help. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with her schedule when we ended up extending our trip—something we were so grateful for. Yogi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. We’ll definitely be booking with Misty again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Manuel was great with my dog Toby. Im so grateful he was able to accomodate us at last the minute when Toby couldnt stay at a friend's home when we were visiting NJ. He was super kind and sent me updates and pictures. I'll definitely book with him for my future visits to NJ.”
“It’s always uncomfortable leaving a pet in a new place but with Angie that feeling vanished quickly. She’s responsive and punctual and great with animals. I could tell my pup was happy and relaxed in the pics she sent while I was away. Zeus had such a good stay he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!”
“Te is the best! Astro always gets super excited once he gets down at Te’s home. Te always keeps us updated on our pup’s status and what he’s up to regularly. We feel the most comfortable leaving our pup at Te’s place if we are away. Highly recommend! Thank you Te!!”
