“This was Bentley’s 2nd time back to Dyan and he really enjoyed it! He was so happy to see his playmate Aiko again! I felt reassured when dropping him off in the morning because once we got out of the car he perked right up. Will continue to keep coming back to Dyan, when I’m in the area for work. She’s very accommodating and accepts last minute requests (really appreciate it!) Can’t recommend her enough ❤️😊”


“Debra was a lifesaver! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute and she responded was available within a couple of hours. We were traveling through Hartford and needed a sitter for a couple of hours. She was so flexible! She offered to keep her longer so we could grab a bite. In spite of my dog being extremely timid, she ended up having a wonderful time at her house. She’s the best!”

About: I promise that your furry friend will have the best time in my care! I have been around dogs all my life that range in size from a miniature schnauzer to a Great Danes. Rover was my favorite job back in college and has been a fun way to earn some extra cash on the side. I currently have a cat and 2 rescue dogs that I love dearly. I have watched all kinds of animals such as frogs, fish, lizards, snakes, birds, and of course dogs and cats. I have also taken care of pets of different domineers such as shy and aggressive animals. I have a dog that is not tolerant of many things so I know ways to earn their trust and how to be patient. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I own a small business from home and have a lot of free time to be available for your pets. My weeks are very open. Long walks are my favorite daily activity as well as indoor play time and cuddling up on the couch. When I’m in your home I will always leave it cleaner than I found it.

“Onyx and I did an initial meet and greet with Trenton and I loved that he brought out the dogs one by one to see how they would interact with each other. We ran into a bit of scheduling conflict with the initial booking; however, Trenton immediately reached out to problem solve. Trenton has been super responsive when I reach out for updates!”


About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.

Behind The Rocks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jill came through for me when another sitter backed out which I was extremely grateful for. I know my puppy felt safe there because he wanted to go back into her house when we were leaving. She updated me throughout the day with pictures and texts as to how and what he was doing.
