“Sydney was great! My pups adjusted to her fine. I love how she left updates the entire time I was on vacation. I would definitely recommend her! My wife and I are already planning our next vacation 😅”
“Laura is amazing! This is the very first time we have used Rover and we are very pleased!! She did a fantastic job and sent lots of pictures of our dog during our vacation. I felt so much better leaving him in her care than in a kennel. You can tell she really loves dogs. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Monica is a perfect for boarding or watching your fur baby! She administers simple meds and sends photo updates. We left our fur baby with her for 16 days and was able to do that feeling confident that Mazie was getting care just like she would at home. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our Mazie Mae! We will definitely be rebooking soon!”
“Kshama was professional and responsive when I contacted her during Lucky’s stay at her home with her husband and their dog Zeus. I received videos and pictures to remind me how happy lucky was. I had to extend Lucky’s stay so I rebooked again with her for a longer stay. When I went to drop more food for lucky, he was happy. I’ll use her again when I need to.”
“It was a pleasure meeting Deena. She had a lovely sign in her living room welcoming us on the evening we arrived. She made Winston feel right at home. We look forward to having Deena watch Winston again.”
“Kayla was so amazing with our cat! she communicates very quickly and sends lots of updates :) I felt so at ease and safe leaving our little kitty with her ❤️ Will def be rebooking in the future !!!!”
“June, I first met her on a cold day, and I saw her smiling brightly. We didn't know we were close neighbors at the time, so we met for the first time from a distance. Seeing her for the first time and realizing how close we lived to each other was such a relief. On the first day I entrusted my dog to her care, I saw how genuinely she cared for my dog, and during my four-day Christmas vacation, I never once worried about my dog. On the way home, I picked up my dog, and it was such a wonderful time meeting June's children. I'm planning to leave my dog with June again the next time we go on a family trip. June, thank you for your warm heart and care.”
“Had Tory watch my spoiled 13yr old Shih Tzu for a week. Looking to find a reg dog sitter that would be able to care for his long hair and feed him ( picky) give his eye meds and probiotics . She was consistent in sending pictures of him outside and on walks . He loves the outdoors . She kept me informed of how he was and how well behaved he was . It was a comfort to know she is reliable and kind! Will definitely use her again !”
“Katie was amazing! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable knowing my Fiona was in her care. Fiona was so happy to get to Katie’s house and looked so happy in her pictures! I can’t thank Katie enough for taking care of my girl!!!”
“Danielle and Steve (and Porthos) have become my dachshund Maverick’s best friends. They are excellent pet caregivers and they are accommodating and flexible in their availability. I highly recommend them.”
“Cheri and her family were warm and welcoming of Vinnie! She gave plenty of pupdates during the stay. He was well taken care of with treats and toys and had a great time! I felt at ease while he was away knowing he was getting the best!”
“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”
“I highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a pet sitter! She was very responsive and gave us regular updates. This was our first time boarding our dog and she was very anxious. Amanda went above and beyond to take care of our dog.”
“Amy is great! She took very good care of Simba and kept us informed with pictures and videos during his stay. Simba enjoyed his time playing with Woody and we will definitely be a returning client!”
“Britnie was great with my puppy. She hand fed him when he wouldn’t eat, sent me updates, and took very good care of my little Max. We will definitely use her again!”

Utica dog parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took such great care of our dog, Telly, while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates with photos and Telly always looked comfortable and happy like she was on her own vacation. Laura carefully read our instructions for care and feeding at drop-off and made sure she understood Telly’s needs before we left. She even cooked Telly more chicken to top her dog food with once the chicken we provided ran out. You can tell Laura truly loves dogs and I had no worries about leaving our pup with her for the week. I would definitely hire Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter!
Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.
I am so glad that I found Brigid and her family to watch my dog while I was gone. This was the first time I’d used rover and I was a little nervous, but once I met Brigid and her family I was instantly put at ease with leaving my dog with them for a week. Brigid kept me updated throughout the week on how my dog was doing and I could tell he was having a great time. Brigid took care of my dog as one of my own, and to have the peace of mind that he was being taken good care of made the world of difference. I couldn’t recommend them more.
Lonnie and his family took great care of our Irish Doodle Brooklyn. She gets very anxious being away from us, but we could tell she was comfortable and happy in their care. We appreciated the daily pictures of her while we were gone! They communicated with us regularly which was also helpful in feeling at ease. We will continue to use their services! So glad we found them!
