Top rated East Hartford pet boarders
“Anita and her family cared for my super timid dog Poncho for a week while we were out of town. Poncho had never been left anywhere before. He decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat/drink much. I had provided dry food and to try and get him to eat Anita went out and got wet food for him as well as gave him water with a syringe to make sure he was not dehydrated. I’m confident boarding him in a facility with a ton of dogs would have stressed him out more. Anita did a great job trying to make my nervous, quirky dog as comfortable as possible. Thankful that she and her family provided such good care to Poncho!”
“Kimberly, Victor, and Luke were amazing with Dr. Phil, they made it very easy and comfortable for me to leave my fur baby in their care. I will definitely use them again. Thank you guys”
“I highly recommend Rumi as a pet sitter! She stayed overnight with my pet, and I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely cared for his comfort and happiness. Rumi sent regular updates and adorable photos, so I knew my pet was happy and well cared for. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pet was calm and content. I will definitely be booking Rumi again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“Emily and her family were wonderful to our dog Charlie. Communication was great before and throughout his extended stay. Emily sent cute pictures and gave updates. Charlie is happy to be back home but I honestly think he misses Emily’s dog Brady and the whole family.”
“Luka stayed with Greg for 23 days. I got pictures, videos, and updates throughout his stay which gave me a peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely have Greg take care of Luka again.”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
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.”
“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.”
“Trenton was phenomenal. I was put in a tight spot and had nowhere for my dog to go last minute and he was there in an instant. Zeus was extremely happy being with him. Updated me very often and always kept in touch. I’d use him a million times again ☺️”
“Used Danielle’s overnight boarding services for the first time. Very professional. Had a meet and greet before leaving Runa overnight which put my mind at ease. I appreciate the home-like atmosphere and care. Will definitely use her boarding services in the future.”
“Catherine was an excellent sitter—her care was beyond my expectations! She genuinely loves the pets she cares for and gave my Vizsla, Arrow, walks attention, and cuddle time. Catherine is kind, gracious and easy to work with. She communicated perfectly about Arrow throughout his three day stay with her. I’ll definitely ask her to sit again, and most highly recommend her!”
“We were pleasantly surprised by Rosa’s concern and care for Rocky, she went above and beyond for him. She was great in terms of communication and following up with questions, and was thoughtful enough to provide grooming advice for him. She was also flexible in the drop off and pick up for him due to our hectic travel schedule. We really appreciated her feedback on how he held up during his stay with her and would definitely book again!”
“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Elizabeth has taken excellent care of my little guy a couple times now - I admit my I can be extra as a dog dad but she and her family respected all my requests and I could tell that they really took care of my dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. He was loved and cared for and that allowed me to rest easy while away, would recommend!”
“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”
“Ana was so great with Lola! She sent me photo and video updates, and I loved seeing Lola running around and getting her energy out. I felt really comfortable knowing Lola was in such good hands. Grazie mille!!!! 🩷🩷🩷”
