Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

I needed a last minute house/​pet sitter after moving to the ‘burbs away from my beloved city dog walker.
came through for me with a great dog sitter who stayed in my home and not only took care of my 2 «must play with me all the time» extra large dogs, but also my elderly cat which had just been diagnosed with lymphoma and needed twice daily meds. We returned to a clean home, well cared for pets and most of all, enjoyed a nerve wracking last minute family trip with peace of mind that things back home were fine. As an added bonus, even if there was a doggy emergency, my sitter had insurance to cover the dogs in her care!
Yes, I recommend
for finding pet sitters and dog walkers.

I have used Rover both as a sitter for extra income and as a resource to find a place to board my dog when we are on vacation. The only reason they did not get five stars is the fact that their website could be a bit more user friendly (they have a competitor whose platform is more ideal).
Besides that Rover is awesome. It is fun being a sitter– my 11 year old says its ‘like renting dogs but getting paid for it’. And it was great knowing that my pup was in a home with walks and cuddles while we were away, as opposed to being in a cage.
We also had an incident where a guest dog bit my dog. Rover was wonderfully responsive and we were able to successfully file a claim for the expenses. I would highly recommend Rover !

I have used
several times for dog sitting. I have. Two homes and have used dog sitters in both states. They have been great. I feel very secure leaving my dog in private homes that I find here, much better than a kennel. I recommend it to all my dog friends.

We needed our dog boarded with a dog nanny as we had an awful experience with a kennel. My dog does not do well in kennels. So, I decided to try
and found several dog nannies in my area (Queens). I tried «Meldy» and he was awesome! He sent us pictures and short updates of our dog’s stay. He kept us informed and my dog was very happy and relax when we got back from our trip. We will be using
again for our dog boarding needs.
