“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”
“This was my first time with Laura & my first time boarding my dog at all & she was the perfect fit! All the updates, safety & enrichment I could’ve asked for, my dog even seemed disappointed to leave!”
“We have officially found the best dog sitters around!!!! Our lab had the best time while we were away. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Mark & his wonderful family. They are all dog lovers and make you feel as ease that they will take incredible care of your fur child. I don’t think Carolina wanted to leave! They even let her sleep on their bed because they know what’s where she sleeps at home. We will without a doubt use them again and we can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“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.”
“Maria was an angel ?! She helped me with my baby Callie(who's really 9) while I worked back to back 12 hour shifts and my Mom was in the hospital. Mom's Callie Mama2 and is usually with her when I work. I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria and her care of my Callie. I would definitely recommend Maria to care for your beloved pet. Thank you to Maria and her family from me and Callie.”
“Luna loved staying with Bruce. I appreciated Bruce's attention to detail in making sure he was able to provide the best care for Luna. We've already booked another stay with Bruce!”
“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”
“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!”
“Bailey and Zoey had a wonderful time at Ariel‘s home. She sent pictures on a daily basis that allowed us to feel comfortable and not have to worry about them when we are on our vacation. I would highly recommend her!”
“First time our dog stayed with Emma and Marco I was very comfortable they were taking great care of her. Got daily updates (pictures) and our dog was very happy. They treated her as their own. Highly recommend Emma and Marco.”
“So fantastic! Extremely accommodating with our early drop off time and sent SO many pics/videos consistently throughout the weekend. Finn had a great time making new friends and will definitely be back! Thank you!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry was absolutely amazing while taking care of my dog, Levi, for 10 days while I was away. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely safe and at ease, which means everything when trusting someone with your pet. She was incredibly loving and attentive with Levi, and it truly showed in how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Sherry kept me updated constantly with messages and updates, which I really appreciated and looked forward to. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% trust her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”
“Araceli was very sweet and accommodating with my dog Bella. This was my first experience using rover and she made it as seamless as possible. She provided photo and video updates which I appreciated! I would definitely book with Araceli in the future for doggy care!”
“Excellent experience with Aileen. Communication before and during my trip was excellent. Many photos and videos were sent during my time away. Would highly recommend Aileen and will re-book in the future when needed.”
“I just moved to CT from AL for work and when I heard there was a snow storm and knew I had to stay at the hospital, I knew I would be in a pickle with my pup. Mariana opened her home to my sweet baby and gave her such a great experience. All the photos throughout her stay were wonderful. I 10/10 recommend Mariana to anyone considering boarding their fur baby.”
