“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Wonderful care from John and Dolly! They loved their welcome gift. My dogs stayed with John after 5 day car trip across country for a move. They had been very stressed and John gently helped them settle in. We look forward to their visit in 2 weeks!”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”
“Steve and Deb are absolutely wonderful. They took such great care of our doggy Bunny for a week, and it’s clear she got lots of love and snuggles from them and enjoyed time with their pups too. They have a great set up and are so sweet, and I didn’t worry about a thing. We’d love to have our dog stay with them again in the future.”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I work from home and have the freedom to be available most of the day and on short notice. I will be reliable, careful and thoughtful with your pets and in your home I work from home and have freedom all hours of the day to come and go. I have a lot of free time especially during the week days I am respectful of your space and your pets space. I always leave the space as I found it and can be trusted to do a great job and follow instructions
“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our pup. We felt very comfortable leaving her in their care for the week and would definitely choose her to care for our dog again!”
“Mayra was wonderful! She treated my girl like she was hers. My Clover is very shy and doesn’t usually cozy up to people right away. But she did with Mayra and her family; she felt right at home. Mayra communicated the whole time with updates and pictures of how Clover was doing.”
“Kaylyn and her family took wonderful care of our dog Tor for the week. He was recovering from an injury and Kaylyn made sure that he took his medication regularly, made sure he was comfortable and happy, and kept us up to date regularly. She is incredibly communicative, kind, and responsible. We could tell that Tor was well taken care of and that Kaylyn really cares about the pets she boards! We really appreciate her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: l've always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog. I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Friends, family, and people I know trust me with their dogs because I care for every pet the same way I'd want someone to care for my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I'Il always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away ❤️ I’m a full-time college student, and most of my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas. Dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day.
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Accepted a last minute booking ? Sent photos and was very responsive when I asked how my dog was doing. Also has a cute dog so it's like your dog is having a sleepover at a best friends house”
“Allison was amazing! She took great care of our dog and would send pictures. She also was very quick to respond anytime I reached out. Would definitely use her again! Thank you Allison!”
“This was the second time that my dog Victor stayed at Nazim's. From the time we started pulling into the neighborhood he knew exactly where he wad and became immediately excited. Really, appreciated the updates during the day and the activities provided by Nazim. My first choice for booking a stay for my pet!”
“Briana (and her dog loving family!) took great care of our 2 pugs who had never been to a pet sitter before. They are little terrors (young, hyper, still potty training) and she took it in stride and loved on them anyway. Her condo complex is beautiful and her place is very tidy and clean. She was very flexible with our drop-off/pick-up hours coming from out of town. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! <3”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
“Triba toon care of my sweet 5lb yorkie while I flew home to Florida. She was super nice and sent me lots of pictures if their time together. Would highly recommend”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barkhamsted
Karina was great! Our 8 month old golden retriever stayed with her for a week and everything went perfect. Karina and Jared are very thoughtful and safe with introducing any other dogs that she is boarding. The fenced in yard is also so nice to allow great outdoor playtime! Karina is a great communicator. We have needed to extend our puppies stay with her due to travel plans and she made it very easy!
I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
