“Elizabeth was everything I could ask for and more in a sitter :) This was the first time I left my puppy, and the peace of mind I had knowing he was in great hands was priceless. I would highly recommend Elizabeth’s services, she treats every dog with the best care and makes sure to continue on their routines as best as possible to make them feel at home.”
“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”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Bri, who took such great care of Mack for us. She kept in touch, sent pup pics, and showed concern for allergies when our dog decided he was hungry and ate her tray of sushi. Most people could’ve gotten really mad, yet Bri showed genuine concern for his health and wellbeing. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“Malik has done such a wonderful job taking care of our dog on three different occasions! Our pup looks so happy to see him and comes home clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Stephanie is awesome with my pet. Very understanding and patient with a dog who is very anxious. I appreciate this and can be stress free while traveling.”
“True dog lover, just the type of person you want caring for your fur baby! My dog was well cared for, pampered and loved. She was proactive contacting me with a concern about my dogs health, which I truly appreciated. Definitely can recommend and will book with her again.”
“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”
“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”
“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”
“Maggie took very good care of Samson, or 2 1/2 year old energetic dog. good looooong walks, lots of cuddling, and he seemed really happy there. Add to that, lots of photos sent to us to put our minds more at ease while we were away. Her dog Moose got along really well with Samson too. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants TLC for their pup.”
“Araceli is an amazing pet sitter! Our little guy can be grumpy & challenging at times, but Araceli was so patient & caring with him! We are so thankful to have found someone who understands the quirks of small dogs!!”
“Marie was great with our frenchie Dean. I can tell by the pictures she sent us that he was well taken care of and he made himself right at home. I will definitely leave him in her care again.”
About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs and other beloved pets, plus hands-on volunteer work at an animal shelter, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care. Your fur babies will be treated like cherished family members!” Working from home gives me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. I reside in a spacious three-story townhouse overlooking a beautiful golf course, offering plenty of scenic walks for your pet. Your furry friend will be safe and secure with me at all times, enjoying the freedom to explore my home with an abundance of toys to keep them entertained.”
“She was great! Very responsive and kind. I was worried about bringing my 4 pound poodle around her big dogs, but she did soooo good! Her dogs were gentle with her and they had fun. So many laughable photos. Thank you girl!! If I need someone in her area, I will rebook.”
“Melanie did an exceptional job with my dog Zoey! I could tell she was very loved and cared for at Melanie’s house. I got photos and updates daily. I’ll definitely use her again, she’s fantastic.”
“Christine was wonderful with my fifteen-year-old dog Ginger who needs a person with lots of patience and tons of attention. Christine provided that and I am so grateful. I was so worried at first about leaving her behind, but Christine made me feel at ease with her calm demeanor and was always sending me pictures of her every day. I could see she was comfortable with Christine and her Pug Jax who is so adorable! I will definitely be using her amazing services again and I highly recommend using Christine. Thank you so much Christine and Jax!! ?❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Krystal while we were on vacation. She was incredibly attentive and caring, providing updates and photos that kept us at ease. Our dog was happy and healthy upon our return, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend for any pet owner seeking peace of mind while traveling!”
“Mandy took great care of my dog, Rosie, and my two cats Jesse and Lucy. I will definitely use her services again in the future. Mandy is a lovely and kind girl. I am very grateful to you. Thanks again for taking such good care of my babies.”
