“Michael was great with Tazz and kept me updated with him for the 5 days I was traveling. Tazz is a senior dog which has it own quirks and Michael was great handling all of them. I will be booking him again to watch my pup. Thanks Michael you rock!”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“Margarita and Cristian took wonderful care of my dog, Gracey, while I was away for 10 days abroad. They sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. I provided notes and suggestions about Gracey as she has anxiety and she managed to adjust really well in their environment and with the other dogs that had overlapped with Gracey’s stay. I look forward to when I need to have Gracey stay with them in the future.”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“Kiersten & Casey really are the best sitters!! I am always at ease whenever Nalu stays with them, they do such a great job at always keeping me updated with lots of pictures!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“Angelique was absolutely lovely! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs is apparent! Charlie was very well take care of during his stay. She made sure to stay in contact and provide updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog has never been so happy to see a stranger! She immediately connected with Teraesa who provided videos and pics of Jazzy throughout her stay, showing how much fun she was having. I would definitely book again! Thanks Teraesa for taking care of my princess!”
“Alexandra was amazing. She was super responsive, easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and sent us lots of photos! When I pick my dog up from a sitter, it’s pretty easy to tell whether she had a good experience or not, and after picking her up she was relaxed and happy, it was clear that she was really well cared for. We will absolutely use Alexandra again!”
“Ashley was great! She took excellent care of my very large dog (120 lbs) and was incredibly patient and attentive. When my dog experienced anxiety and wasn't eating, Ashley helped comfort and reassure her. She also kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Renzo took great care of Biggie! I could tell how much love he got when he got home and seemed sweeter even than when I dropped him off. He was very communicative and caring.”
“Wow I can’t speak highly enough of Leah. She constantly updated me while I was gone and made sure to send lots of pics and videos. He looked like he had a blast and was out on walks, cuddling, playing, etc. I would ? recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I’m leaving for a trip. Thank you Leah!”
“I had an amazing experience having Denis and his wife to watch my cat Fifi for a few days! They were able to confirm to watch my cat, given the short notice and on a holiday weekend. I was sent plenty pictures and videos throughout her stay and I was shocked to see how quickly Fifi adjusted to her new environment. I was happy hearing how well she was doing, and seeing her be herself. She had earned their trust pretty quickly on. They really took the time to care for my angel 😌 I could see how much passion, care and attention they have for animals and they treated Fifi as if she was theirs. 🥲 I was worry-free most of the time, knowing she was having a blast with her new friends ☺️ I was able to get alot done while they took Fifi off my hands. My cat will definitely miss being there with them. I am so glad I booked and I absolutely trust them with her again. I highly recommend them looking after your pet! 😊”
“Sam and her family were so loving and amazing with my 3 year old Bichon, Barkley! I travel for work often and was relieved to know she was happy and loved while I was away. Sam went adorable pictures everyday of my Stay which made me happy and at ease. I definitely Plan on using Sam again. Thanks so much! Xoxo”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Tara was an awesome sitter. She was extremely communicative during our booking and provided updates and pictures of our little guy throughout his stay. She is such a delight to work with and we can't wait to book with her again!”

“Regina did a fantastic job taking care of our babies Shade and Sunny. She changed their water and litter box every day, played with them, and showered them with lots of treats. We were away for a week and she sent us daily updates via pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable with her! I would gladly hire Regina again”
“Omolayo took such great care of Ollie! She truly went above and beyond to take care of him while I was away, and kept me constantly updated. Could not recommend her enough!!”
“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter! She was very responsive, and proactively sent updates on my kitties :) This was my first time using Rover for my own pets and I trusted her completely! Thank you again Kate 💖”
“I’d recommend Giang to anyone looking for top notch care for their fur babies. They checked to make sure if our cats had any special needs, gave them lots of love and kept us updated with how they were doing. Awesome sitter!!”
About: I love cats, and they tend to be drawn to me. I started watching my neighbors' cats when I was 12 years old and now have a troublesome little guy named Linus at home who has made me a very careful cat dad. I'm confident with cats of all temperaments, and I hope to meet your feline friends!
“Amber is a great sitter! Feel very comforted leaving my cat in her care. She’s very responsive to messages, is accommodating to my older cat’s extra needs, and won my lil guy over fast Will definitely be booking again!”
“Adeline took outstanding care of my cat, Louie, which put my mind at ease while having to be away for two weeks. Will be my first pick next time I need a sitter and would recommend to anyone. Thank you Adeline!”
“katherine is one of the most responsive and communicative sitters i've ever had! the 5 star rating is very understandable. followed instructions to a T and left a very detailed report, which was so helpful. your baby will feel like they are taken care of, guaranteed! would love to work with katherine again.”
“Thank you Ambur!!! When we came back home Minifeli was happy and relaxed. It looks like he had a great time with her! After he hides every time someone comes to our house, seeing him come out to welcome Ambur every day in the pictures, only shows me that she won his trust. Big thank you Ambur!!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to watch my fur baby :) My cat is afraid of new people and often hides away when they're around. By the time the weekend with Charlie was over, I had a ton of pics of the two of them playing and cuddling - it made me feel so much better knowing my cat was happy while I was away. Charlie followed all instructions and left a gorgeous drawing of Shadowfax. I would definitely book with him again the next time I'm out of town!”
“Alexander was my first experience using Rover and was excellent. Great communication and questions made me feel so much better about going away for a couple days. Would definitely recommend Alexander to anyone with a furry family member.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my fur babies than Rachel! She is truly amazing in every way. I wasn’t sure how house sitting worked but Rachel gave me the flexibility to choose whatever made me feel most comfortable. She knows the best questions to ask upon the initial meet and goes above and beyond in every way. Rachel’s communication was amazing the entire 12 days I was away and her daily report was one of my fav ways to end my day while I was away. Knowing something funny they did that day or seeing a video of them sleeping peacefully made me feel so much relief. I am beyond grateful for Rachel’s skillet and would strongly recommended her to anyone and everyone with pet sitting needs!”

“Francesca was an amazing sitter! This was my first time leaving Louis with someone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He instantly connected with Francesca and her sweet pup, Alvin. She kept me updated with lots of cute pictures. Louis looked so relaxed and happy in every photo. I’m grateful Francesca was available to care for Louis. I will definitely reach out for future bookings. I highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience! Our huskies, Kona (8) and Luna (14) were hosted for daycare for a few hours while we were in NYC. Communication was excellent, they were very responsive, and our girls were well cared for the entire time. Kona and Luna came home happy and relaxed, and it was clear they had a great time. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Dayana was great, she was very communicative and sent plenty of pics of my pup having a great time. She was very helpful at making sure I was always updated and she was always available to answer any questions and concerns. Would book her again to take care of my pup!”
“He was very kind to our baby, she left seemingly happy and he was also very kind to us as people. He kept us up to date and even ask questions to get to know our baby. Definitely recommend.”
About: I really think I have quite a bit of experience with pets. As I was growing up, I had several at the same time and I took care of them all at once and with a lot of love. I had a rabbit, two cats, and a dog. I'm currently available every day, and regarding the schedule, I think we can discuss that between ourselves and decide. I would love to work for you, and I'm eager to meet your lovely pet. I live in a decent apartment, not too big but cozy, and my biggest advantage is that I live across from a park and close to a pet shop.
About: About me! Have had my cat Bo for 18 years, and also previously two Maine Coons. Currently have a second cat, Sydney, 3 years old, the second love of my life. Rescued an 11-year-old golden retriever in 2017. Have dog sat / cat sat / dog walked for family and friends for years, most recently a Rhodesian ridgeback and golden/lab mix in the West Village, and a husky/cattle dog and a chihuahua/Jack russell mix - both in Bushwick. I am reliable, friendly and easy going. I go the extra mile - not just in this but all things. I’ll do whatever in my power to care for your baby and make you feel comfortable. I get it - I’ve used this service. You want to know that the person is doing their part when and how they say, and that your dog/cat is in good hands. I’m also ok w messy jobs. I’ve cleaned up after my sisters bulldog/terrier mix Bonnie when she’s pooped all over the house Bc her stomach was upset :/ From Las Vegas/California, college educated (BA in journalism / polysci). I’m an actor, writer & remote worker. I currently work part-time, fully from home, and my schedule is flexible. With a bit of notice I should be able to accommodate most requests. Thank you for enquiring! I can do both in terms of pets in my home / clients home. As long as your animal is OK w a cat, they can stay at mine, but happy to dog/cat sit from your place as well.
About: Lady and I bring years of hands-on experience with animals, not only in care and companionship but also in providing basic training and understanding their unique needs. Whether it’s working with playful puppies, helping senior dogs feel comfortable, or ensuring every pet feels safe and loved, we go beyond just “sitting.” Our deep passion for animals and understanding of their behavior allows us to build trust quickly, creating a stress-free environment for pets and their owners. We’re also familiar with managing different temperaments, routines, and even health-related needs, ensuring every pet receives tailored care. Your pets are not just cared for—they’re treated like family. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around my clients’ needs, ensuring I’m available for feedings, playtime, walks, or administering medications at the right times. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In your home, I prioritize your pet’s safety by following all instructions you provide, maintaining a clean and secure environment, and respecting their established routines. I double-check that all doors and windows are secure and keep an eye on their behavior to ensure they’re comfortable. If pets stay in my home, they’ll enjoy a pet-friendly, cozy space free of hazards, with plenty of supervision, love, and care. Trust and communication with you are key—I provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Alexandra is truly such a wonderful sitter! My dog pulls me down the street when I drop her off for daycare because she is so excited to see Alexandra. Alexandra is very responsive throughout the day and will send updates, so I can rest assured that my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend!”
“Jasmil took such great care of my puppy Flurry. She went above and beyond in ensuring he had a wonderful time playing and going on walks. She sent updates throughout the day and I could tell from her photos Jasmil and her family made Flurry feel welcome and at home. Truly appreciate you Jasmil! You made this process completely stress-free! Will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Iwona and I love all pets, especially dogs. I live right across the street from Forest Park, a huge park in Queens. Therefore, your dogs will be getting plenty of quality walks with me. Inside my house, there is lots of of space for your dog to roam free. I am home most of the week therefore I am flexible with appointments and your dog will not be lonely. I look forward to discussing an arrangement that works for you and your dog! I’m currently home most of the days and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours. I have plenty of time to play and take care of the pets. I have an unfenced yard, but I prefer short/long walks in the park (depending on the dogs needs). Dogs are fed according to their owners instructions, usually twice a day.
About: Hi! My name is Sara and I love dogs. My two rescues and I live in a four family house in Glendale with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play. Sadie and Philly love to have pals over and love making new friends. Dog handling is in my blood. My grandmother was a breeder and trainer for Guide Dogs of America. Because of her, I have experience with pregnant mothers and newborns. My knack for leash and obedience training came from her as well. I used to manage a dog daycare in Brooklyn and run my own dog walking business back in the day. Now I work from home and have all the time in the world to hang out with dogs! Growing up, my parents had a malamute, a Dalmatian, a lab/setter mix, and a lab/pittie mix. I raised these dogs with my father and learned to care for animals starting from a very young age. My father was a professional dog trainer in Southern California and worked specifically with rescues from kill shelters and aggressive dogs. He taught me everything he knew about training them. Though my first encounters with dogs had been bigger breeds, I found a warm spot in my heart for small breeds I met when I moved to the city. I love all dogs. Our house is perfect for your pet because it is on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood with its own private backyard. There aren't too many rules here. There are five steps leading up to the house and five steps to the backyard. If your dog is older or has joint issues, this may be worth a consideration. I am experienced and capable to help dogs up and down stairs, but it may not be the best fit if it would stress your pup out. In a perfect world, we could make the arrangements for our dogs to meet at a dog park nearby before the boarding dates, but I realize that everyone has busy schedules and that may not always be possible. At the very least, I would like to meet you and your dog beforehand. I offer a pickup and drop-off service for an additional fee and introduce my dogs to new dogs on neutral territory with a long walk. I have been doing this professionally since 2015. The amenities in my space, my extensive experience, and the wonderful time your pup will have with us are what make staying with us extra special. It truly is your pup's second home. Hope you choose to board with us! I have pets so it is built into my routine and since I work from home, we can keep a regular schedule. I feed them twice a day and walk them twice a day and let them out for breaks in the yard throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with dog friendly plants that dogs can hang out in. Sadie and Phil are always able to make a pup feel comfortable away from home.
“Kaylee is so kind and accommodating. I brought my dog to her home for daycare and he was under the weather the whole time but Kaylee made him feel so loved and cared for. She truly treats them like family and makes them feel at home. My dog Frankie didn’t want to leave after I picked him up :)”
“The absolute sweetest familia and Mateo seemed to fit right in. They were super patient and understanding with me when I had to extend my pick up time, and I am so appreciative of all their help!!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would sit and read books to our family dog and to my water turtle to keep them company (it helped that I gave them treats for being attentive during my narrations). Ever since, caring for animals has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a dog foster, helping pups feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Each one gets VIP care…I’m talking cozy naps, endless belly rubs, and a crash course in feeling at home before heading off to their forever families. I’ve also dog-sat for my sister, friends, and my boyfriend’s parents, and I’ve cared for friends’ cats. And, yes, I’m that person who has brought home a stray dog, making sure she was safe and sound before taking her to a rescue center that helped her get adopted into a happy home. I approach pet sitting with the mindset that every furry friend deserves the royal treatment: love, respect, patience, and a trustworthy place to crash. It's serious business, meaning there’s no skimping on snuggles, treats, and playtime. I work from home as a writer and editor, so your pet will get the lion’s share of attention, supervision, midday strolls, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a spacious, clean, pet-friendly three-bedroom apartment with my boyfriend, a fellow animal enthusiast with more than a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats. We live in Ridgewood, which is a quiet neighborhood with a few nearby parks perfect for walks and outdoor time. Pet sitting honestly feels like one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable ways I could spend my time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were family! I'm currently a freelancer, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can accommodate practically any routine your pet is used to, whether it's early-morning walks, midday outdoor adventures, or late-night zoomies. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and respected, whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home. I know every furry baby is different, so I never rush things or expect instant trust. I let pets settle in at their own pace and watch their body language to make sure they feel secure and happy. Before any stay, I ask owners to share important details about their pet’s habits, preferences, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any other care instructions. This helps me keep things consistent and relaxed for the pet. I also believe structure and gentleness go hand in hand: I’m loving and flexible, but I also keep healthy boundaries and routines so pets feel calm and supported. Likewise, I never assume I’m entitled to a pet’s space or affection, and I respect *their* boundaries, too. I believe in positive reinforcement, encouragement, and building trust over time instead of forcing interaction. Most importantly, I take time to get to know each pet as an individual and care for them based on their unique personality, energy, and needs.
“Keri was the best!! I had two late nights in a row and she was always so patient and accommodating for me and ensured Mateo was taken care of. He had a blast at daycare and will definitely be returning!!”

“After we moved and needed a walker in our new neighborhood, Cassidy stepped without skipping a beat, to provide the care and attention our pups love from her. Both were really happy to see her and showed this with lots of excitement and tail wagging. Thanks again Cassidy!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Sage receives from Asher! He comes three times a week, always on time, and is so reliable. It’s clear that he truly cares about Sage’s well-being, paying close attention to her needs, whether it’s her energy level or favorite spots for a walk. I love seeing the adorable selfies they take together—Sage is always so happy and clearly enjoying her time out. Asher is not just responsible and professional, but also super sweet and kind. I feel so lucky to have found someone who genuinely connects with my dog and treats her like family. Highly recommend!”
“adeline was incredible! she responded with such short notice and really helped me out when i needed it. she was attentive, communicative, and patient. i absolutely recommend her and felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my lola!!”
“Devora was super communicative, and was very patient with Cheeto (who can be a bit suspicious of new people in his space!). I got regular updates during the walk and felt at ease knowing she was looking after my lil guy. Will definitely be booking w Devora again!”
“Cailey was very thorough with her notes and photos which is very comforting to me as the dog owner. She seems to be very gentle and understanding with my pup who can be hesitant and a little nervous. I would recommend Cailey and will book again!”
“Venissala and my dog Idgie are off to a great start and so are we! My schedule changes weekly and so does Venissala's. We are able to work out bookings accordingly. She is a kind person and attentive to details. On her first walks with Idgie, she was caring and a great communicator! I look forward to our continued work together for Idgie.”
“This was our first walk with Julia and Henry returned very happy! She was great with him and he took to her immediately. She was professional and kind and we look forward to more walks with her.”
About: I've always been an animal lover. At 12, I started watching my neighbors' cats and walking a golden retriever. When I was 14, my family got a (slightly troublesome) Portuguese water dog, and I now have an energetic cat named Linus at home, both of which formed me into a very careful pet owner. I'm confident with dogs and cats of various temperaments. I hope to meet your feline or canine friends! I'm a professor during the academic year, but my days are very flexible over the summer so I can be available just about any time of the day or evening. I do not offer boarding. I am careful and kind with pets and happy follow whatever directions you have. I am also an effective communicator and willing to do so however you find easiest.
“Regina is so sweet, she really gives both my animals the attention they deserve! She's very consistent and trustworthy, can't say enough good things about her.”
About: Hi l'm Christian, I have 8 years of pet experience. I own a pitbull named Zeus. So I can handle any pet situation. I've also watched my friends and family pets, and took care of them for extended periods of time. I will ensure your dog gets the proper walk and love and care it needs! As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I’d also make sure their home is respected and kept clean while giving their pet plenty of attention, care, and comfort
About: Hey there! I’m Izzy, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all sizes. I’ve been around them since I was a kid, and most recently I had one of my own: a 75 pound labradoodle named Winston, who might just be the sweetest goofball, currently he lives with my parents so he is not in my household. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for them for about half a year, this is outside of my personal experience of taking care of them my whole life, my friends also trust me with their pups as I’m their go to for looking out for them :) When I’m not out walking pups, I work as a photographer and creative in the music world, doing everything from album covers to campaign shoots. On weekends, you’ll usually find me running with friends, bouldering, or just enjoying some good company. My schedule being freelance and flexible allows me to provide dog walking, sitting or boarding since I’m home every day and can be around taking care of pets. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a freelancer! My schedule is flexible and I am home everyday! Making sure I’m able to provide and pay attention to your pup when they need it :) I’m available 7 days a week from 7am until 10pm. I always prioritize a calm, safe, and loving environment, whether at my home or the pet’s home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routines, whether that means quiet companionship, playful walks, or structured feeding and potty breaks. Cleanliness, comfort, and consistency are top priorities for me. With experience walking and caring for all kinds of dogs, I know how to build trust quickly and make pets feel secure while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm a college student who has grown up with dogs my whole life. I've been pet sitting and dog walking since middle school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it's something I truly love. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I adore all animals. Your pet will be in caring, experienced hands — and will have a blast! I'm reliable, communicative, and will always send updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day, and I can also do weekends. I can adjust my availability as needed to make sure pets are consistently cared for and their routines are followed. I prioritize safety, reliability, and following instructions closely when caring for pets. In a client’s home or in my home, I make sure doors are secured, pets are supervised, and their routines are maintained. I create a calm, comfortable environment, respect the owner’s home, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs so they feel safe and relaxed.
“Diana is wonderful. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence (Cagney is a "Velcro" dog who spends a lot of time at home with my husband) and assessing our dog's needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and professional. She is punctual, and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney. Cagney looks forward to seeing her and she updates us on his progress during his walks as he becomes more accustomed to being with her. Five stars and much thanks to Diana!”
“Madison is great! She came to meet our dog, Banjo, before their first dog walking and he immediately adored her. She spends a little time after their nice, long walks just giving him some extra love. We really appreciate Madison and Banjo is already a happier dog!”

“Kiersten & Casey really are the best sitters!! I am always at ease whenever Nalu stays with them, they do such a great job at always keeping me updated with lots of pictures!”
“Alexandra was amazing. She was super responsive, easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and sent us lots of photos! When I pick my dog up from a sitter, it’s pretty easy to tell whether she had a good experience or not, and after picking her up she was relaxed and happy, it was clear that she was really well cared for. We will absolutely use Alexandra again!”
“Ashley was great! She took excellent care of my very large dog (120 lbs) and was incredibly patient and attentive. When my dog experienced anxiety and wasn't eating, Ashley helped comfort and reassure her. She also kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Renzo took great care of Biggie! I could tell how much love he got when he got home and seemed sweeter even than when I dropped him off. He was very communicative and caring.”
“Wow I can’t speak highly enough of Leah. She constantly updated me while I was gone and made sure to send lots of pics and videos. He looked like he had a blast and was out on walks, cuddling, playing, etc. I would ? recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I’m leaving for a trip. Thank you Leah!”
“Sam and her family were so loving and amazing with my 3 year old Bichon, Barkley! I travel for work often and was relieved to know she was happy and loved while I was away. Sam went adorable pictures everyday of my Stay which made me happy and at ease. I definitely Plan on using Sam again. Thanks so much! Xoxo”
“I was a last-minute request and Jennifer and her husband were able to help me out in a pinch for a work event that was gonna have me away all day from morning until past bedtime!! normally Harry is a crazy anxious mess if I am away for two hours, but he hasn’t seen me from 8:30 AM to 9:45 PM and he’s calm and relaxed and happy and I feel good cause I’m tired and I had a long day and I just had such peace of mind and didn’t worry !! I knew Harry was in such good hands Jennifer and her husband kept in touch with me with photos and reassured me and they really just Harry took to them so easily! Like he is so relaxed I never see this from him. If I’m even away for a few hours this is hysterical!!! thank you so much. You guys are the best so much peace of mind with highly absolutely recommend!!”
“Iwona was great with Mason! Really appreciated how well he looked upon pick up. It was clear she took the time to groom his face while he was in her care. He was a very happy and content little boy in her care.”
“Frankie was so attentive to my senior dog, and did slow introductions between my dog, her dog, and other dog that was there. They seemed to play well together. She was very communicative and frequently sent video and picture updates — thank you!”
“Sydney was awesome. Ollie can be timid, but he warmed up quickly. She sent pictures to keep us updated on his daily activities and was extremely responsive!! We will use her again. Just wonderful!!”
“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!”
“Nicole was a dream! She took care of my shy dog like her own for 3 days. While my dog is shy and scared of people, Nicole had lots of love, toys and walks for a whole weekend to make him feel at home. Will definitely rebook!”
“From a slightly crazy dog mom, leaving Pepper with a stranger was so hard for me- I was super nervous and felt like I wouldn’t enjoy my trip because I’d be worrying about her. Within the first day away, my worries were totally gone- Steven was so kind and communicative, he sent so many pictures, reassured me, and was just all around wonderful. I was wishing for a sign that she’d be okay when I left her, so if you’re reading this review and feeling the same way take this as your sign!! Thank you so much Steven!!”
“I cannot recommend Yinuo enough! She was wonderful with our senior dog, Harlow. She sent pics and so many updates. I would definitely rebook!”
“I really appreciated how communicative Lal was. She sent lots of photos and videos and it felt very reassuring. Lal is very kind and I know she put in great effort to make Jaz comfortable.”
“Jen was incredibly attentive and loving with our 11-week-old puppy. We are truly grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Without a doubt, Jen will be our first choice whenever we need a doggy sitter again. P.S. – Goose already misses you! -Paul & Alexa”
“Dana made super last minute accommodations for me and saved my weekend. Super attentive and provided text and photo updates consistently throughout to make sure I felt comfortable as it was my first time finding a sitter through this app. Dana provided excellent care for my puppy and I will definitely be rebooking if I ever need a sitter!”
