Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.

Our first time leaving our basset hound Chester with Bruce was a very positive experience. He interacted with the dog and communicated with us often. After meeting Bruce, and especially after his first text, we knew we had no worries. We highly recommend Bruce for your pet. Thank you Bruce for keeping our dog safe, happy, and secure.

Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)

Gaileen was AMAZING. I booked with her months in advance and it was a pleasant first meeting. Gaileen made sure to ask all the right questions with slate which made me feel in confident in what she was doing and the exceptional service she would and did provide. The communication during the stay was also appreciated as Gaileen kept me informed with pictures and status updates as well as reaching out regarding any questions that arise during the booking. Overall I would 100% recommended Gaileen for all others seeking a responsible trustworthy and dependable sitter who goes above and beyond. I would definitely book again.

Monique took care of our pup during an extended stay while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Since it was our first time using Rover, we were understandably a little nervous, but Monique immediately put us at ease with her communication and attention to detail. Her home was very well set up for dogs, with a secure fenced-in yard, a great deck area, and thoughtful safety measures inside to make sure our pup stayed safe and comfortable. She was extremely responsive throughout the stay and consistently sent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our pup came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely trust Monique again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you again, Monique!

Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!

Kayla and her husband took such great care of Gus! They had him 11 days and sent photos and videos every day. They have a wonderful female Vizla who seemed to love Gus, and their big fenced yard gave him a safe place to play. They also went on walks and outings, even to the beach. He was glad to see me when I got back but he was looking out the rear window as we drove away, perhaps sorry his vacation was over! Highest regard for the care he received!
