“Ryan watched both our dogs for a couple of days while we were gone. Initially it was only supposed to be one but we had some plans change and had a last minute request which he kindly accommodated. He kept us updated everyday while watching the boys. One of them got an upset stomach which he helped tend to. Thank you for taking good care of the boys!”


“John, took excellent care of our girl Cici. He was very communicative and always sent me pictures of her. She came back extremely happy. Cici is definitely looking forward staying with John again!”

“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”

“I was a nervous--first time user of Rover. I found someone near me--and that was Bridget. I was LUCKY! Bridget is kind, professional, and has experience. You can tell--right away. If you want someone who knows how to handle dogs--it is her. She is a dog owner herself for 20 years--so isn't that also proof--enough? She came to pick my dog up--on--time, and I never had a worry the entire time. I am so grateful for her help.”

“Marina and co. I had such a wonderful experience boarding my 11-year-old baby boy Golden Retriever. Leaving an older dog can always make you a little anxious, but they made the entire process incredibly reassuring and easy. My boy is very laid-back and just needs his walks, meals, and a calm environment, and they took such thoughtful care to make sure he was comfortable and relaxed. It was clear he was treated with genuine kindness and patience. More importantly, I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would absolutely board with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

“We know our dog Stanley is always in the best hands with Darlene. She’s very communicative, sends lots of photos, and Stanley clearly has the best time with her. When we pick him up, he gives her lots of goodbye kisses - he absolutely adores her!”

“Michael took excellent care of Rocky. He listened to all of Rocky's needs, let me know when anything needed to be adjusted, gave recommendations for things to bring, and took great care of my dog. Michael also took pictures of Rocky and sent them to me so I knew Rocky was happy and healthy while my wife and I were away in Colorado. If you need affordable and excellent dog care in NYC, I would recommend meeting up with Michael.”

“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”

“Adam watched our 10 month old puppy for about a week while we were out of town, and he did an awesome job. I got so many pictures and videos the whole time. His dog Hermes gets on great with my puppy, they were playing together the whole time! We did a meet and greet before booking him to make sure that the dogs got along well together too. We needed our dog to only eat the food we brought due to allergy concerns, and Adam fed them in separate rooms which worked well. We got back a tired, happy puppy.”

“Seoyoung & Donguk were absolutely amazing with my 16yo Shih-Tzu, Abru. They gave plenty of daily updates and photos which gave me so much peach of mind since it was a long stay. It was obvious they took excellent care of him and that he was clearly spoiled with attention and love. I could not have been more happy and pleased with the level of attention they provided. I highly recommend them and we will definitely be using them to care for our fur baby again!”

“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”

“Krista took excellent care of Finn. She sent many photos daily and I felt like she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my dog. I would highly recommend and will definitely reach out to Krista for future dog sitting services!”

“Diane was fabulous with our dog Perry! We left him with her for 6 days and he had a wonderful time exploring the city and the countryside too. She sent lots of photos and kept us updated throughout our trip. She also picked him up from us and delivered him back to our building on our return, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Diane and hope she can babysit for Perry again!”

“Kathy was super communicative, extremely thoughtful, and very accommodating and was terrific experience for myself, a first-time boarder with Rover. Even when some unforeseen issues arose with our return flights, Kathy went above and beyond expectations making sure Rory was taken care of. We would definitely think of her first and foremost going forward, and we're sure Rory would echo our sentiments!”

“She did a great job watching our little girl Bao for the day and provided a safe and comfortable environment. We wouldn't hesitate to board Bao with her again!”

“Yucca had amazing time! She seemed so happy and comfortable in every pictures they sent us ❤️ It was great to get the updates and pictures. Also they even double checked things that we forgot to mention. Super recommend!”

“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!”

“I honestly will never be switching dog sitters. Summer is amazing with my dog and they’ve built such a cute and strong relationship. My dog has a very anxious background and her whole world lights up everytime she sees summer! It’s the sweetest thing and makes me feel so much better as a dog mom, to leave my pup with someone she loves and trusts. Also Summer sends updates like her life depends on it and I appreciate that so so much😭 I often miss my dog and wish I could take her everywhere with me but with summers updates I still feel close with my baby!! Thank you summer for taking such good care of pepper. Thank you for all the extra walks, and extra play time at the park, and all the cuddles that pepper cannot live without 😂😂!!! You’re in our hearts forever !!! 💗”

“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.”

This is our second time using Yaun as we werr so impressed with the care she gave to our puppy, we had to return. Our LuLu is a puppy and very high energy, Yaun kept her very active with playtime and lots of time outdoors. She is also great with sending updates and videos to keep us from missing her too much. We will be back

Aydrian was a wonderful caretaker for my dog while I traveled for a week. He was warm, caring, communicative, and worked with all our needs and quirks. His dog Atticus was a great friend for my dog while he was staying with Aydrian. I had no concerns and knew my dog was in great hands while I was away. I look forward to working with Aydrian again on my next trip!

Roman was an incredible host and I felt incredibly comfortable throughout our time away. He took our golden retriever on multiple long walks each day, snuggled with him and kept me informed every day of their adventures. I highly recommend Roman and very happy to be a positive reference for him.

Our entire experience with Eleanor was fantastic—from booking and intake to drop-off, throughout our trip, and even at pick-up. She provided a thorough report about Riley, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Eleanor and will absolutely be booking Riley for future visits!
