“Nilka is everything you hope for when you go on Rover looking for pet care. She treats my dog like her own. Her husband and two kids are also great. They all spoil my dog with love and attention. Nilka is so diligent with walks and photos and communication too. Top recommendation for Nilka and her family. Thank you very much!”
“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“If I could give Kristen ten million stars, I would. She helped with an international pet rescue, picked up a cat I had never met at JFK and cared for him for 4 days before I could make it across the state to pick him up. She is literally a life saver. We could not have followed through with the rescue without her help! She was so attentive to his needs and sent pictures every day. I would recommend her to everybody.”
“Nachay was amazing! She sent us constant updates on Louie, sent us pictures, videos and even took the time to facetime with us. Louie had the best time and was very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend higher!”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“Alex took great care of my big pup for a few days. Great communication throughout and very attentive. I came home to find my dog very comfortable with Alex and happy. Will be a repeat customer!”
“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“Wonderful job! Thank you Shushma. She did extra work for our dog like walked him, updated us from time to time by sending us videos and photos of our dog. Also she was so accommodating when we told her we can only pick up the dog at a later time. She has other dogs too so our dog really had fun on his stay at Shushma’s house. Definitely on our next vacation, we will leave our dog to her again 😀”
“From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.”
“Brigette was fantastic. She’s super responsive, even for a last minute request, and was an absolute lifesaver for us. She was great with our dog and we’re looking forward to working with her in the future!!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Joanna is amazing! Her love for your furry friend shows from the moment you meet her. She took care of Persia as if she were her own pup. Very communicative and sent pictures every day so we were never worried. Thank you again Joanna!”

“They were great! Lincoln met with them a few days before the stay and was immediately comfortable. There house was very clean and the enclosed backyard was very spacious leaving a lot of room for the dogs to play and secure enough to prevent them from getting out. They sent video and pictures everyday. I would definitely leave my dog with them again in the future.”
“Narly was an incredible host for our two pups, Brady and Lola. While away she sent us photos daily. I would definitely use her again when needed. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you Narly!”
“Alba is fantastic! She welcomed Lady into her home and treated her as her own! Our little girl is happy, loving, and energetic. We found the perfect match with Alba! She kept in touch sending pics and videos showing Lady doing what she loves most...playing ball and sleeping alongside those she is comfortable with. This was our first time ever leaving a pet with someone not a family member or close friend. She was there from Friday morning to Sunday evening. A great comfort to know she wasn't alone at night. This was a great experience for us and would not hesitate to recommend Alba! We would certainly book with Alba again!”
“Veronica took exceptional care of my two dogs Molly and Oliver. She was very attentive to all their needs and provided a safe, fun environment for their entire stay. I will definitely be using Veronica again.”
“I booked Michael last minute for an overnight stay & it was my five-month-old puppy’s first time away from home. Michael was incredibly communicative, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided for my puppy, Pepper. The regular updates and pictures reassured me that Pepper was comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter—I will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“Cannot say enough great things about Sam and her family. You can truly tell they love animals and took care of my dog like he was their own. She kept me updated and send me pictures for the week I was away. My dog truly did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. I know he cannot wait to go back!”

“As always, Lisa is a rock star cat sitter! She cares for both of my kitties with so much love and thoughtfulness, which helps ease our minds while we were away on our vacation. Truly a blessing!”
“Janelle did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was on time, and followed all feeding and care instructions flawlessly. Janelle sent many pictures and texts to me during each visit. It was very comforting to see my cats looking so happy, eating, and playing, and getting a text about how they were doing twice a day for a week. Janelle is a caring person who put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacation knowing my cats, and my home was in good hands. The litter boxes, and cat dishes and water bowls were cleaned daily and mail brought in as needed. She’s definitely a cat person, and made even my skittish kitty feel at ease, and both cats became very friendly with her. I highly recommend Janelle and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“Becky looked after my cat Klover on Christmas and was nothing but kind, sweet and attentive. Typical cat behavior, Klover doesn’t usually greet people but was out and about when Becky was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Rachel has been great with our cats, the were both taken care of very well. She came on time and ensure they are both well. She was very committed and communicated well throughout my trip away from home. She sent pictures on every visit which I truly appreciated. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”

“If I could give Kristen ten million stars, I would. She helped with an international pet rescue, picked up a cat I had never met at JFK and cared for him for 4 days before I could make it across the state to pick him up. She is literally a life saver. We could not have followed through with the rescue without her help! She was so attentive to his needs and sent pictures every day. I would recommend her to everybody.”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“Alex took great care of my big pup for a few days. Great communication throughout and very attentive. I came home to find my dog very comfortable with Alex and happy. Will be a repeat customer!”
“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“Brigette was fantastic. She’s super responsive, even for a last minute request, and was an absolute lifesaver for us. She was great with our dog and we’re looking forward to working with her in the future!!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Veronica took exceptional care of my two dogs Molly and Oliver. She was very attentive to all their needs and provided a safe, fun environment for their entire stay. I will definitely be using Veronica again.”
“I booked Michael last minute for an overnight stay & it was my five-month-old puppy’s first time away from home. Michael was incredibly communicative, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided for my puppy, Pepper. The regular updates and pictures reassured me that Pepper was comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter—I will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Sam and her family. You can truly tell they love animals and took care of my dog like he was their own. She kept me updated and send me pictures for the week I was away. My dog truly did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. I know he cannot wait to go back!”
“So responsive to our texts and communication was great. She treated Ranger like a part of the family and send us lots of photos. Ranger got along with her dog and cat and we plan to have Ranger stay here again in the future”
“This is our 3rd time with Nieves and will not be the last. She is simply amazing. Truly a wonderful person and awesome sitter. Sheeba is always so happy to see Neives and we KNOW she is well taken care of. We love receiving the daily pics, so thoughtful!!”
“Minyon is a great sitter and person... our 2nd time leaving our pup-son with her and we will definitely be back. Ghost loves her and her family. She is amazing and very attentive to ghost. 5+ stars‼️💯😊”
“Karina was amazing from beginning to end. I felt a little skeptical about leaving my fur child with anyone unfamiliar. From texts before the drop off, Karina made me feel comfortable. I received texts, pics and videos of my dog continuously throughout the day to see my dog, adjusting to a new person and environment. I could see my bully taking to Karina very easily which gave me peace of mind while away. Karina was very attentive to my fur baby and making sure that she was her priority while under her care. When I picked up my dog the first thing I asked after expressing my appreciation was, if I ever have to leave my dog with anyone again, can I look you up on Rover and she said yes! I highly recommend anyone leaving your fur child with Karina who is attentive and sensitive to your pet adjusting to new people and surroundings. Amazing pet sitter. 5 stars ⭐️”
“Sam was great at taking care of our dog. She gave the right amount of updates and was always responsive when we needed to contact her. Our dog seems to have enjoyed her stay, loved the backyard and was always happy in the photos Sam shared. We will definitely try to book Sam again next time we need someone to look at our dog. Definitely recommend.”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Ingrid. She continues to maintain her well earned 5 star status and took amazing care of Dexter. I was amazed that Dex remembered her house as soon as we reached her block. He marched into Ingrid's home like he lived there! Ingrid was able to accommodate our needs on very short notice and I appreciate her for that. I will definitely return again!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Carla and her family. They were looked after so well and seemed so happy after their stay. We look forward to having them stay with Carla again!”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“Ruth-Ann took excellent care of Marley who was having some allergy-related issues. I needed to extend his stay on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances and she was more than accommodating. I was not so worried about him as she provided frequent pix and video updates. Highly recommend Ruth-Ann as a sitter!”
“Very grateful for Jonisha and her family for caring for my baby she hasnt been in anyone’s home other than family and so it was a bit of a hard transition. Thank You so much for having so much love and patience for my girl♥️”
