“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
“Alba has been one of the best dog sitter we’ve found! She takes great care of furry family member and we can tell she truly cares to creates a great experience for our dog when we are away. We look forward to continuing working with Alba in the future and we highly recommend Alba to anyone in need of pet sitting!”
“Kimberly is an amazing sitter. She took fantastic care of our dog. Kimberly provided frequent updates including photos. We knew he was in the best of hands. We certainly recommend Kimberly and her wonderful family. We will use her again in the future.”
“Nachay was awesome! She took such great care of our Stormi. She was so friendly and professional and our puppy immediately took to her. She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated daily. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. If you’re apprehensive about this type of service I would encourage you to meet her and see for yourself. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Sharon and her family were terrific to Shea. I received thoughtful emails with lots of pictures and Shea came back happy and healthy . I would recommend Sharon to any prospective Rover customer . Thanks Jim”
“You guys are amazing. I have a very active dog and I know he had fun. Very big back yard for him run around. The daily updates are perfect. Will definitely recommend to others and to use again”
“Jennifer was amazing, incredibly patient and met with us before we boarded our son with her. She provided so many updates and addressed all of our needs and special requests with Ludo, and we would not hesitate to book her again. She truly worked to get to know Ludo to give him the best care possible.”
“I am so glad I trusted Kristen to keep my pet Yorkie. I went with her once I met her and saw how passionate she is about not just her animals but all. She treated my benjie like her own. I have left my dog with his vet boarding in the past and felt he didn't get the attention or care I expected. He was a little withdrawn and took a few days to be his normally playful self. When I picked up my pet from Kristen he was as happy as when I dropped him off and that meant a lot to me. I'm glad I chose Kristen and will definitely continue to use her services. I definitely recommend.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Leaving your dog in someone else's care can be stressful, but from the moment I met Krissy, I knew my dog was in wonderful hands. Krissy went above and beyond in every way, treating my dog like a member of her own family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that my dog's happiness, comfort, and safety were her top priorities. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for—a true reflection of the love, patience, and attention my dog Sophie received. It's rare to find someone so dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Krissy to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Krissy exceeded every expectation, and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with my dog again.”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Cindy! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautiful and impeccably clean their home was. It instantly put us at ease knowing our dog would be in such a warm and welcoming environment. The large backyard was an absolute paradise for our pup, offering plenty of space to run and play. Throughout the stay, Cindy kept us updated with regular pictures and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured that Rex was having a great time. The level of care and attention to detail was truly outstanding. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind and the exceptional care our dog received. Highly recommend!”
“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”
“Jennifer is excellent. It was her first time taking care of Leo and everything went great. She checked in daily with me. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kayla and her family were wonderful! We were so nervous to leave our puppy with anyone but she kept us updated with photos and videos all weekend and helped put our mind at ease. We were so happy our puppy had kids to play with and keep her entertained. Our puppy had the best weekend ever.”
“I have never left my nervous, covid dog was anyone else before. Jenny was so quick with getting back to me and ultimately sent me so many updates that I felt comfortable on my vacation knowing that my dog was okay. Now in the future I know if I need some days where I will not be home I can send my puppy to a comfortable, loving home where Jenny's main priority is that my dog is having a relaxing calm time. I can't wait to talk to you again Jenny thanks!”
“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“I had kept Loafy for 5 days with Akhilesh and his family while we were out for a trip. It was a great family setting along with their beautiful black Lab Millie who was great company for Loafy. We initially had a meet and greet session with Akhilesh just to make Loafy comfortable with their home and he pretty much liked it there along with their dog. They also have a fenced backyard which was a great add-on safety for the dogs to be on their own. We got regular updates, photos, videos daily which gave us a peace of mind and Loafy seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly was well cared for. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dog loving family.”
“Cody took such good care of our baby. He updated us daily with photos. My baby loved staying with him and in fact got more spoiled then he does at home. When ever we have to leave him for now on Cody will always be our choice.”

We had a wonderful experience with Jim and Ellen as our dog sitters! They were incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely love dogs and treated ours like part of their own family. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while he was with them. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we picked him up. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would absolutely trust Jim and Ellen with our dog again. Highly recommended!
Alba is fantastic and very caring! CC really enjoyed her time with her and Tony. She sent over several pictures and videos of CC playing and relaxing at her house, which made the whole experience of having to leave her so much less stressful!! Thank you and CC is looking forward to her next visit!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Matt & Kristina! Matt & Kristina were absolutely amazing from start to finish! From our very first meet-and-greet, they took the time to get to know Rocky and make sure he would be a good fit for their family and their two beautiful dogs. Matt showed us their yard and explained where Rocky would be safe to run around and play. He gave us a full rundown of everything and patiently answered all of our questions, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Rocky with them. We ended up booking a full week! Throughout Rocky’s stay, we received regular updates, pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Rocky was. He got along great with their family dogs and even their super-cute daughter! You can truly tell that Matt & Kristina genuinely care about the dogs in their care and treat them like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt & Kristina and will definitely be booking with them again in the future, especially when we need to travel out of the country. Rocky had an amazing time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands! 🐾❤️ The Arjoon Family 🫶🏻 Breed: Pomsky 😂 more the size of Husky
We could not be happier with the care Toby received from Thu and her family! This was our first time leaving him with an in home sitter and we are thankful for such a great experience. We received updates and photos which put our minds at ease and Toby was so happy to have Pi and Jinx to play with! I can tell he already misses his new friends!
Cindy did great with Candy! Candy is definitely spoiled and needy most days but Cindy was able to meet all her needs and keep her content and resting while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed receiving little videos of her everyday and We will definitely use Cindy again in the future.
My husband and I recently needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog and Susan came through for us big time! Our girl Lexi had never stayed with people she didn't know but she warmed up to Susan and her husband immediately. They are super kind, trust worthy and provide a warm safe haven for your fur baby. She sent lots pictures and updates. We feel very fortunate to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Susan!
AMAZING. Melissa was very kind. Mandy had an awesome time. Melissa kept us informed during her stay with pictures. It made as feel at ease leaving her with Melissa. Definitely would recommend her to any pup needing a pet sitter. Melissa thanks again for watching our Mandy.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wantagh home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wantagh.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
