“Our little dog was well looked after at Mario's: daily exercise at the dog park and great company in the house, playing with Mario's dogs and getting lots of cuddles. Communication was excellent, Mario replied promptly everytime and kept us updated with adequate daily photo updates. Thank you Mario!”

“Nandita was awesome! She took care of my Luka over a weekend and the picture and video updates were constant. Luka seemed very happy during his stay. Him and Ozzy got along great. Nandita and her family were very welcoming and caring with my boy, he had plenty of snuggles and play time. He definitely got all the attention he constantly seeks at home. I was at peace knowing my Luka was well taken care of! I absolutely recommend Nandita as your next dog sitter !”

“Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! She took such great care of our chocolate lab while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated—it was clear our girl was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.

“John is fantastic!! It was our first time boarding our 9lb Min Pin, Mia, with anyone other than immediate family. (Initially, we did a tour of a dog boarding day care and Mia was traumatized with her tail between her legs the whole time because of the nonstop barking by the other dogs.) Luckily, we found John and his services. I read through all of his reviews and they are true. He has a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs of all sizes and needs. We received daily videos showing us that Mia was very happy and part of the pack. This was so reassuring. Now, we are no longer stressed about finding great care for our small pup! Highly recommend!!”

“Wendy was great to work with! I always get so nervous leaving my dog with a new sitter and she made me feel very comfortable from the start! Frankie has a lot of energy and Wendy took her out multiple times a day to various parks and sent many pictures!”

“Carrigan is lovely. I was very anxious about leaving my havenese dog for the first time but within hours Carrigan was sending me pictures and updates many times during his stay. Made my trip more enjoyable for me! Thank you. Carrrigan.”

“Manolo had a great time at Elaine’s. Both Elaine and her puppies were very welcoming and he felt at home from the start. I would recommend Elaine’s doggie daycare to friends and family. Elaine can also groom your pup, which is very convenient. Thanks Elaine, see you soon!”
“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”

“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”

“Lindsay saved the day! She was absolutely wonderful with our admittedly nervous little guy, and was utterly helpful as could be. We literally cannot give her a better review. I wish there were more stars. Thank you Lindsay.”

“Karine was great with our elderly dog. She was taken care of in every way possible. We would definitely use her again. She and her husband definitely know how to meet the needs of our little old dog.”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .
Darien pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! Our dogs received more attention and exercise than they ever get at home — which is truly saying something. We were away for over a week, and knowing our babies were in such loving, capable hands was an enormous relief. We couldn't recommend Karen more highly and will definitely be booking with her again!

Tina was lovely. Extremely communicative sending multiple pictures a day with videos. She immediately answered any queries. She also went out of her way to get my pup extra treats on his birthday. Lots of walks, lots of play time. She even prepared Bubbles food when he ran out. She’s an amazing sitter!

Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.

Chaz had another lovely stay with Rosediane. He had a great time! He was very happy to see her when we got to her house. She sent updates and pictures every day! Chaz has stayed with her a few times since 2023 and I always feel comfortable leaving him with Rosediane because I know he’s well cared for by her!

Just amazing! Took such good care of my babies. My girl is a rescue with a history of abuse and she went straight to Yulia. She sent pictures while we were away and took care of our old man who suffers from heart failure. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Ginger didn’t even want to leave. She and Rye got along super well. Katie and Tausif were both very attentive and made sure she had a ball. They sent smiley pictures. They also followed my care instructions well, which I appreciate. I can tell Ginger can’t wait to come back.
