“Both Wenxu and her husband were great with my puppy Marvin, they made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos all day, and was always available to answer any of my questions. Will definitely be using her again to take care of my dog.”
“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Vanessa and her family were the best care givers for our golden ! I was updated daily with photos and videos. He didn’t have any problems eating and drinking which means he was very comfy and happy in the home. The children played with him. He came home very happy, it actually took a little pushing of the tush to get him out the door because he loved it there so much. You would not be disappointed if you chose this family to watch your pet!”
“Sadie had the very best time with Delmy & family! They sent pictures/videos the entire time and Sadie was so happy in all of them. 10/10 would recommend and I will be using them again”
“Ollie always has a wonderful time staying with Denise and her family. He comes home safe and happy. Denise was super flexible with pick up times when our flight was a bit delayed. Thank you for the pictures and updates!”
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”
“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”
“This was our first time leaving our senior rescue in someone else’s care. Isabella took such good care of him, and kept us updated with photos which we really appreciated. We have already booked his next stay.”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much and really helped me relax while I was away. It was so clear that my dog was being well cared for. Brenda was always taking her on walks and spending time playing with her. When I picked her up, of course my baby missed me, but I could truly tell she had formed such a loving bond with Brenda. It was obvious that my dog adored her, and that Brenda genuinely loved her right back. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Brenda exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and loving sitter!”
“Like most people, I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone while I was away. However, from the moment I met Alissa I knew my two babies would be okay. She spent a lot of time with us during our initial meet and greet. She answered all our questions and allowed our dogs to hang out in her backyard and just really reassured us that she will love them the same way we do. She communicated regularly while we were gone and sent pictures and videos. What I also appreciated is that she is flexible with drop off and pick up times. So instead of our dogs staying another night, we were able to pick them up on our way home from our trip. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“This was our first time leaving our pup (Benji) with Pam. We went away on vacation for 4 days, 3 nights and felt so comfortable. Every day she sent us tons of pictures showing us how much fun Benji was having at camp. When I picked up Benji at end of vacation, I don’t think he initially wanted to leave. We think Benji May have had more fun than we did. ? Thumbs up to Pam ???”
“Kristen was a great sitter! She’s very responsive and easy to work with. She and her husband took great care of our puppy. She sent great updates and videos. We’d be happy to have Maggie stay with her again!”
“Our 8 month old puppy is a handful and had never been away from us before. We feel so lucky to have found Judy for his first dog-sitting experience. She is experienced, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly kind to the pets in her care. She even did backyard play, walks and some training too! We look forward to our pup's next visit with Judy!”
“We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!”
“Was wonderful about updating us and sending photos while we were gone! Alfred and Rex looked like they got a good amount of time outside playing under supervision, were so thankful for Michael! He even monitored an injured claw for us that seemed to heal wonderfully. We were gone for two weeks and this was convenient for flying out of JFK if that’s part of your plans.”

“Jessica did a great job watching our 2 cats for a couple of days. She kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us daily pictures. We came home to 2 very happy cats.”
“Amy is the best! She let the cats be themselves and it all worked out perfectly. She sent daily updates with pictures of both Spooky and Cleo, which added to the sense of security we needed. She did a wonderful job and we are so grateful!”
“Karen is outstanding and I highly recommend her. She took excellent care of our kitties and they love her! I am very pleased with the top notch care they received. I am now, and will be a forever client.”
“Liz took great care of our senior cat and was very communicative! Our cat required multiple medications which Liz was able to administer and she kept our picky cat well fed. She sent multiple photos each visit and our cat was happy for the visits.”
“Paulina was amazing! She was able to accommodate for a last minute request and she did such a great job! I would recommend her 100%, definitely going to be booking again!”
“Lindsay was an extremely communicative and thoughtful sitter who handled my little pit mix like a pro. She’s a ball of muscle and working on her training currently so while a sweetheart can be a lot to handle, but Lindsay more than managed and kept her occupied and happy while I was away for 3 days. I will certainly be using her services again in the future!”
About: I have cat sit for family friends for over 5 years. I can come and play/spend time with them and/or simply check in to make sure they have everything they need. I can give oral medicine as well if needed!
About: I’ve had my furry pet for 12 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge last year. I have cared about pets to a more deeper and emotional extent since I had her. I would love to spread all the joy and tenderness to another pet whenever I get the chance to. I am flexible the most during weekends and two days during the week. Pet care fits into my schedule best and I will be down to accept any gigs that will allow me to be flexible. I am very attentive when it comes to my pets needs and I do my best to keep them entertained. I make their day to day look slightly different to enhance entertainment and excitement.
“The most amazing sitters!! It was our first time using Rover and Wenxu made sure we traveled stress free with constant photos and updates on our pets. We can’t recommend them enough - our animals were very happy.”
About: Cats have been part of my life since I was 12. My cats have ranged from pure bred Himalayan to a Street Wise South Bronx Ally cat. With all the cats quirks( having to sit in the middle of the newspaper, purring loud enough to wake their humans up etc.) I love them.
“Kristen was wonderful with our two cats while we were away. She made sure to ask how much we wanted to be updated and tailored it accordingly. One of our cats is 20 and has a kidney-specific diet due to health issues and Kristen ensured she was well fed and taken care of. We could tell when we got home how much they were pampered while we were gone and I know they can’t wait until they get Kristen back again ?⬛ ?”
“Lisa did an amazing job looking after our precious kitty. My cat Sophie is a shy one but she made fast friends with Lisa right away. Lisa went above and beyond to make sure Sophie had everything she needs to be happy and comfortable. She sent me lots of updates and pictures which I appreciated very much. Communication was great. Already booked Lisa again!”
About: I've had dogs for my entire life since I was a child. Bred Australian shepherds, so comfortable with puppies. My aussie had 11 pups. Such a wonderful time, bottle feeding. Have gone to many dog training classes. The dogs are part of the family while here. Not caged unless you want them crated when I'm not home. When they are outside I stay with them entire time, not left in back yard without me there to supervise. Simply adore dogs and all their own personalities. I take the time to spend individual and special time with the dog everyday while staying with me. Have my own dog, An Australian shepherd named Jilli, she simply loves having dog friends over so she can play and sharing her dog toys. Her favorite thing is playing catch in the backyard with a dog friend.
“Kaylee not only took care of our dog while we were away but cleaned up after him. He is an older dog and has accidents now. Kaylee is very kind and has left us with a such a good feeling that Jaxson is being treated well while we are traveling !”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and have brought me so much joy. Growing up, I cared for many family pets, spending countless hours playing with them, taking them on long walks, and making sure they felt loved and well cared for. Over the past 5 years, I have provided reliable pet care for several families, including house sitting, daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship for their pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always strive to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care! I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to be available after work on weekdays. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and can provide extended care during those times. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they need. Caring for a pet to me would mean a clean safe environment. Making sure if it’s a puppy there are no choking hazards around that it’s not gonna harm the animal. Also, tiding the area keeping toys to one location, any accidents the animal may have, I would clean that up. Making sure there’s always fresh clean water for the puppy to drink, and plenty of play time and exercise. Some animals may have long hair and that may require some grooming with a brush.

About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“I booked Jordan for daycare for my dog Juno who was stressed with construction happening in my apartment building. Jordan was very patient and loving to Juno, which helped her have a safe place while my boyfriend and I were at work. Jordan was communicative and provided updates the whole time. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“I am so excited that Coconut enjoyed his stay with Isabella. We are now booking 10 days with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who shares lots of feedback, pictures and truly cares about your pet.”
“Sarah and her lovely family took care of our little Yorkie for five days while my husband and I were visiting in New York City. We were staying out on Long Island, and had event tickets each day in the city, so we needed flexible doggie day care hours to accommodate our needs. We felt so very blessed to find Sarah! She welcomed Violet into her home and treated her like family. She is very well equipped to care for any pets and has plenty of equipment and facilities thoughtfully laid out in her home and yard. She has thought of everything her guests could possible need! She kept us very well informed throughout the visit so I didn’t have to worry and wonder about our baby one bit. She obviously loves animals and treated our sweet girl like her very own. Violet was so happy to get there each day and loved playing with all the people and pets in Sarah’s household. I have only ever used day care services on Rover and really couldn’t imagine boarding our fur baby with someone other than a family member, but I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her at Sarah’s! I know I would get professional care, steady communication, and the most loving environment! I cannot recommend her more highly!”
“June was able to get me in at the last minute, Layla is a very shy and anxious dog and when I came back to pick her up she was so calmy, happy and playing around thank you so much will def come again. :)”
“This was my fiancé's and I first time traveling since we got our puppy, Nilla, and we were super anxious about it. After checking out other options we decided to give rover a try and found Daniel. From the moment we met Daniel and Denise we felt a lot better, it was immediately clear that they love dogs and they love what they do, and they even gave us traveling advice! Dan is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behavior, I liked that because I knew that our pup would be in good hands. In order to get Nilla used to the place we decided do one day of doggy day care with them before her 7 day stay there and I am so glad we did, Denise sent me updates throughout the day and it was fun to see how happy Nilla was playing with other dogs, that made me feel 10x better about her 7 day stay there and I knew that she would be happy and most importantly safe. They day we dropped her off she immediately recognized the house, jumped out of the car and ran straight to Daniel, she didn't even look back when I said goodbye to her! During our vacation they sent us daily updates along with pictures and videos putting us at such ease knowing our pup was having fun and in good hands. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup! If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby as their own then your search ends here! I highly recommend Dan, this is coming from someone who cried when we booked the tickets to Amsterdam at the thought of leaving our pup with someone else.”

About: Hi! My name is Nicole and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I was raised in a home full of dogs. Since I was a young girl, my mother has been a professional dog breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, so I grew up helping care for five or more pups at a time. This lifelong exposure has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, care, and training from a very young age. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve worked at a doggy daycare where I gained even more expertise in training, administering medications, grooming, and providing attentive, loving care. Whether it’s a high energy puppy or a senior dog needing special attention, I’m confident and capable in providing tailored care. I’m currently based in Huntington NY where I offer a safe and welcoming home environment for dog boarding. I live in a pet friendly space with my calm and friendly Chihuahua named Coco who loves having visitors. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection in a peaceful supervised setting. I now have open availability throughout the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pup’s needs whether for daytime care, overnight stays, or extended visits.

I am looking forward to connecting with you! 🦴🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule varies from week to week depending on bookings and client needs, but I currently have an open and flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles, I build my day around making sure each dog gets the attention, structure, and affection they need. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. Dogs staying with me enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. I live with my sweet, well-behaved Chihuahua named Coco who loves canine visitors and gets along with all breeds. I provide regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. I follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or special care routines to ensure consistency and comfort. When caring for dogs in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routines and environment. I make sure feedings, walks, and any special care are handled just as requested. I treat every client’s home with respect and make sure their pets are safe, content, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether at my place or yours, I always send updates with photos and videos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.
“Karishma made Chip feel welcome right away. She took great care of him and her genuine sincere affection for animals is heart warming. I would recommend Karishma to anyone that wants their dog to be cared for by a trustworthy and loving human being!”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a little girl, have always had a dog in the house and would walk our neighbors dogs for fun every day. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards etc. I am currently at stay at home mom for my 2 young daughters. I’m looking to make some extra money and play with as many dogs as possible with a my free time. We have a fenced in yard large enough for all types of dogs to run and play in. We also have double gates for extra safety in the yard. Inside the house we have gates set up to block off the livingroom where we can limit your dog from having access to the front door when people are entering and exiting the home. We also have a guest room that can be used if your pet gets overwhelmed or nervous and needs some alone or quiet time
“This August we sought a warm and private alternative to the larger dog camps because our dog sitter (my daughter) was returning to college. Eliana and her entire family were warm & welcome. They allowed us to stop by for a meet & greet and even taught my dog (12 yr old) how to use a doggie door. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Eliana is amazing! She sent us pictures throughout the day during every visit & told me about the emotional state of my dog (sad because she misses my daughter). That meant the world to me. God bless Eliana & family. Best decision I made all summer!”
“Brenda was so amazing with our Rocky! As a new dog mom I was so nervous about leaving him with someone but Brenda put me soo much at ease! So many pictures and videos updates really made me so comfortable. I will highly recommend Brenda! Your pup will be completely taken care of.”
“Alissa is super nice and down to earth. We met with her for a meet and greet and my dog was comfortable with her and her home right away. She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful family and adorable doodle! Our puppy loves seeing them for day care each week. We couldn’t have found a better family, situation to help us with our puppy while we transitioned back to the office. I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and Jermaine - and their doodle! Our little guy has learned good traits from their pup! They really are the best!”

About: Hi! I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of animal experience. I studied animal science as an undergrad and will be starting veterinary school this winter.

About: As a proud dog owner of two family dogs, I have hands on experience caring for pets every day.

“Caroline was fantastic!!! Highly recommend her!!! She was very mindful of our doodle on their walk! Lots of pictures! She even let our 2nd much older dog (who can’t walk much) out while she was heading out as a just in case. We’re so thankful!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs for the past three years, never had a problem with any size or breed. I’m fine with early mornings and late nights :) I am currently a part-time student and a part-time cashier, I know how to deal with almost anything your dog can throw at me. Yes I’m young, but I’m very confident in my vigilance and patience. I live in the best part of my neighborhood, and I always keep protection on me if anything happens. Your dog will be in good hands :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for 14 years, starting with my family dogs we got when I was 11. Since then I have watched multiple dogs for friends, both taking them on walks and feeding. I currently have part-time availability during the day, and would love to use that time to help take care of your animals. On weekends I will occasionally be available for the full day. I currently walk my own dog around the neighborhood, use a fenced yard and feed her 3 times a day. I would be happy to follow whatever situation you have set up for your dog or cat.
About: I believe exceptional pet care starts with understanding the dog in front of you—not treating every dog the same. My goal is to create a calm, structured home where your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely enjoys their stay. Every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their personality, routines, communication style, and comfort needs. Whether they’re playful and outgoing, shy and observant, or simply adjusting to a new environment, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. Caring for dogs has been part of my life for over 28 years, but what truly shaped my approach was fostering and working with dogs who each needed something different. I’ve learned that good care isn’t about following the same routine for every dog—it’s about observing, listening, and responding to the individual in front of you. During their stay, your dog becomes part of our daily rhythm. We balance supervised play, enrichment, rest, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. My own dog, Winter, loves welcoming compatible playmates, and I carefully supervise introductions and interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Every dog adjusts differently to a new environment. Most settle in quickly, while others need additional one-on-one support, enrichment, or supervision to feel comfortable. If I determine that a dog requires a significantly higher level of individualized care than expected, I’ll discuss it with you before making any adjustments to the booking. My goal is always to be transparent so we can provide the best possible experience for both you and your dog. I pet sit and offer dog behavioral support on a full time basis. This allows me to customize my schedule around the specific needs of your pups feeding times, walks, and routines. It also means that your dog will be given the attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day that they deserve while adjusting to a new environment. My goal is for every pet to feel at comfortable and at ease while under my care. I pride myself on being able to offer peace of mind for each and every individual I work with. In order to accomplish this, I prioritize safety, trust, and communication. I send daily updates with photos/videos so you can see your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for more than one pet at a time in my space I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, well socialized, happy girl. If your dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.
About: I’ve been taking care of my two dogs at home since they were puppies! I love and care for all animals and would be happy to walk your furry friends 🐾🐾🐾 I have a part time job so I have a more flexible schedule! I also have a car so I’m able to drive to any home that needs me in the area I fully respect any boundaries and directions owners have in their own homes. Since I have my own dogs I know how each dog differs from the other and needs special care and attention which I’m happy to give.
“Today was my first time using rover. Violet was my first walker. She showed up on time and respected our home. She was patient getting to know my dog and showed him kindness. I appreciate her taking care of my doggie while i was at work. Will def do it again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: Hi everyone! With 6 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, I absolutely love what I do and treat every pet like my own. My background includes working part-time for a family with 7 dogs of all sizes, which taught me how to handle multiple pets and diverse personalities seamlessly. I currently have two adorable cats and have raised dogs of my own in the past, so I understand both dog and cat needs inside and out. I am very active, I love being on the move and ensuring your pets get all the exercise, long walks, and playtime they need. Being around animals is not only something I excel at, but it is also something I truly enjoy and find incredibly rewarding! I am a master's student right now- so I have multiple days off per week and spend lots of time at home studying, which gives me ample opportunity to fit your pets into my weekly schedule. Because I have a strong background in babysitting, I am completely comfortable, responsible, and mindful of privacy and boundaries while working inside someone else's home. I make sure your pets feel safe and secure in their own environment by sticking strictly to their familiar feeding schedules, keeping their water fresh, administering any medication, and keeping their spaces clean. I'm also super active, so I fill our time together with long walks, high-energy playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention so they never feel lonely. Ultimately, I treat your home and your pets with the exact same care, love, and respect that I give to my own.
About: If you want your pet to have the pamper treatment, you’ve come to the right place! I am very responsible and caring and I’m quick to learn whatever makes your pet happiest. Whether it be belly rubs, baths, play time, or going outside I am willing and able to take care of your pet like they are my own! I am a project manager, so I am highly adaptable and very organized, but was recently let go due to budget cuts - currently job hunting so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I love caregiving and have tons of love to give! Will happily follow any feeding/walking/medicine schedule you need. I lived on my own for 7 years before moving back into my parents’ house to save up for my own. I am very responsible and capable of taking care of a home if housesitting is needed. I always follow whatever rules my client has for their pet; climbing on furniture, cleanliness, and food intake, etc. If sitting in the clients home - I will respect your space and am known to leave things in better condition than I found them.

“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Vanessa and her family were the best care givers for our golden ! I was updated daily with photos and videos. He didn’t have any problems eating and drinking which means he was very comfy and happy in the home. The children played with him. He came home very happy, it actually took a little pushing of the tush to get him out the door because he loved it there so much. You would not be disappointed if you chose this family to watch your pet!”
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“This was our first time leaving our pup (Benji) with Pam. We went away on vacation for 4 days, 3 nights and felt so comfortable. Every day she sent us tons of pictures showing us how much fun Benji was having at camp. When I picked up Benji at end of vacation, I don’t think he initially wanted to leave. We think Benji May have had more fun than we did. ? Thumbs up to Pam ???”
“Our 8 month old puppy is a handful and had never been away from us before. We feel so lucky to have found Judy for his first dog-sitting experience. She is experienced, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly kind to the pets in her care. She even did backyard play, walks and some training too! We look forward to our pup's next visit with Judy!”
“Was wonderful about updating us and sending photos while we were gone! Alfred and Rex looked like they got a good amount of time outside playing under supervision, were so thankful for Michael! He even monitored an injured claw for us that seemed to heal wonderfully. We were gone for two weeks and this was convenient for flying out of JFK if that’s part of your plans.”
“From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Eliana made my Velcro dog at ease. She was the only dog that night so she got to feel very special. Eliana made us feel very much at ease leaving her there. She sent us so many pictures throughout the evening to make us feel even more at ease. We live out of state but if we visit again, we would definitely let Snickelfritz stay there again.❤️”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“Troy was an absolute godsend. We had a last minute 5 day trip come up and I was nervous handing off our Newfoundland to someone new, especially on short notice, but Troy put me at ease from the first message. He asked all the right questions upfront, was flexible with our chaotic schedule, and clearly knows how to handle a big, gentle giant breed. He sent photos and updates without me even having to ask, and I could tell our dog was genuinely comfortable and happy with him the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, well loved pup and zero stress on our end. Troy is reliable, communicative, and just a genuinely good person to trust with your dog. Can’t recommend him enough, we’ll absolutely be booking him again.”
“Chris was great! Easy to book, communication was clear and he sent me plenty of pics during our pup’s weekend stay with him. Their dog Luna is a sweetheart. Our dog got plenty of walks and attention while she was there. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks!”
“Sal’s 3rd stay with Theresa. He literally pulls me to the door when I drop him off. She is fantastic and Sal gets plenty of exercise with her. I will be back again”
