“Simply the BEST! My dog didn’t want to get in the car to leave! Katherine had a nice big yard and a pup Colby who clearly entertained my Tully. I received lots of pictures while I was gone and I was kept updated just enough so I could relax during my time away. I will be booking again!”
“Mia really enjoyed her stay with Candace and her family. Her home was so inviting, when she took me to see her fenced yard the first thing I said was the area was very calming and relaxing. Candace sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay. I will definitely book with Candace again!”
“Tamara was amazing and graciously sent pics of my puppy when requested. He was happy and well taken care of. She was excellent when the date I entered was incorrect but still agreed to keep my fur baby once it was corrected. I highly recommend Tamara for pet sitting services.”
“loved getting frequent updates and photos of my puppy! Elizabeth and her family were very flexible and accommodating. My pup had a blast! Definitely will have them sit again!!!”
“Bola did such an amazing job with my PawSon, Zuko! She checked in daily during our trip, kept us aware of any behavior that wasn’t typical to his schedule and sent us lots of cute photos. She’s so kind and gave Zuko soooo much love. We will def be using her again.. she’s family now!”
“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”
“Kayla, was awesome! She had our little fur baby for 9 days and sent photos of him having a great time. I’ll definitely, used her again. Thank you for everything.”
“Kamiah watched Luna and we couldn't be happier. She sent consistent photos and videos, and it was clear they were having a great time. Luna was so happy when we picked her up, and then promptly fell asleep all night, so I know she was getting at it. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
“Matt and Leslie were amazing with Gunnar. He seemed to have a wonderful time. They were very communicative and send pics and videos daily. Their dog, Cooper, was an absolute sweetheart and was very easy going (didn’t even seem to mind when Gunnar stole some toys). I would highly recommend them!”
“Mercedes is the best at what she does. My dog loves her and her family. Very loving and caring and gives constant updates so you feel at ease if you’re wondering how your pet is doing. Overall 5stars and would highly recommend. Thanks again Mercedes. See you next trip!”
“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”

Absolutely would recommend and plan to re-book Dwight in the future! Thank you again for your kindness and hospital with my furry BFF.”
“Kendra came through for me big time when I was going on a 10-day vacation and my regular sitter and niece could not keep Zoe. She did everything possible to calm my nerves and soothe my fears with this being the longest period of time away from my baby. She provided daily (and during the first few days 3-4 times per day) updates with photos. She's very caring and was an amazing sitter for Zoe. I'll most definitely be calling her in the future.”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Tashea and Dushan did an amazing job watching my 2 month old American Bully. I was nervous because it was my first time away from her, but they kept me updated with pictures and videos and she looked super happy in every single one. I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”
“Beverly took wonderful care of our boys! We have two large dogs, one requires medicine twice a day. She was a true professional across the board. She took care of them as they were her own dogs. Beverly was unbelievabley cool, calm and confident in handling our boys. Highly recommend. Definitely going back to her. 20 stars!”
“Matt was an AMAZING host. Frank enjoyed his “vacation” while we were away. Matt was very flexible and accommodating and really focused on ensuring Frank was happy and satisfied. This was definitely a great experience and I am looking forward to having Frank stay with Matt again in the near future.”
“Christina and Joshua were amazing. They sent me lots of videos and pictures while I was away and they kept my dog very active. I will be calling them again… 100 percent.”

Washington Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sandy is absolutely the best. We were in a pinch to find someone to watch our dog Brutus and a bit nervous having to leave him with someone he wasn't familiar with, but he had a great time. Exceptional communication from Sandy, with lots of updates and pics. But most importantly our needy dog got lots of TLC. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommend. A++.
Ella did a great job with Winston - a 20 week old puppy. It is not easy to take care of a teething, high-energy puppy. We did not know what to expect as this was the first time Winston was boarded with someone he didn't know for several days/nights. We received frequent updates with pictures. Winston enjoyed playing with her dog and fenced back yard. He didn't want to leave. We will definitely leverage her services in the future.
Courtney was an excellent sitter, she was very accommodating for a last minute boarding after someone had canceled on me last minute. She was sending pictures and videos and updates of my pet every single day that she was in her care, my dog came home looking happy and healthy and clean. She was alive and well and even better then I sent her, thank you for loving my dog as if she was your own, this was my very first time ever boarding my dog but you made this a great experience. If I ever need another sitter, you would be the one I call.
Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.
