“Always a pleasure to take Peanut to Brianna. We can see Peanut is taken great care of at Brianna's. When Peanut got off the car, he happily led us to Brianna's without being distracted by other things on the street. When we pick him up, he's very happy and we can see he had a great time and has lots of affection for Brianna. Brianna sent us photo updates and generously accommodated us in terms of our schedule. Thanks Brianna!”
“Stephanie was great at keeping me updated and sending plenty of pictures while she watched my dog. He is active and loves walks, and she kept him busy! I felt so comfortable having him stay with her.”
“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!”

“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”
“Melissa and Nate are absolutely wonderful, caring and genuine people. I was very anxious about leaving my rescue for the first time, but she did great with them and had all her needs well-attended to in my absence. Thanks so much for taking excellent care of my Sophie!”
“This was my first experience with leaving my Liv with Noemi and David. They were fantastic and my pup is tired out. Thank you so much for taking care of her 💜”
“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful! They sent lots of great pictures and updates and were so sweet to our pup. Wish we lived closer, we would send him there more! But will be sure to go back when we are nearby again.”
“Saying I am satisfied and overly happy with Gordie's stay at Allyson's house can never be enough to show how much I truly loved Gordie's boarding with Allyson. I never felt Gordie was left alone or disengaged. She sent multiple pictures to prove this. She treated him like one of the family and I am sure he actually FELT like he was one of the family! I was afraid he wouldn't want to come back home. haha. I don't have plans for a while...but when I do make some, I hope (and Gordie hopes too) that we can have Allyson watch him again, if she'll have us!”
About: I am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!
“Was very pleased with Marie she took good care of Sasha. Didn't have to worry about her at all cause I knew she was in good hands. Sasha was very comfortable in Marie's house. Marie was very loving with Sasha. I hope the next time we go on vacation Marie will be available.”
“Sending your dog to Jordin is more like a dog-vacation than dog-boarding. She kept my high energy pup exercised, improved her walking on leash, and spoiled her with attention. She was flexible and sent lots of updates. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I’m familiar with the care, attention, and patience that dogs need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their usual routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can work with your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the stay so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and responsibility. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and any specific instructions you provide, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure and communicate with you regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
“Kiayla is an absolute joy to meet with a positive caring attitude towards the care and safety of our fur baby. She was attentive to his needs in this new experience and environment, as well as showing him who’s the boss to continue consistent care and expectations for a pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend her and book Ms. Kiayla again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
This is a great experience for both Finn and myself! I could tell how much Kaleem cares for the animals in his world. He is genuine, down to earth and 100% understanding of my needs for Finn. I only have one overnight “at sitters house” and was in desperate need of another one. To find Kaleem, so close to home, was just a miracle. Finding a “at sitters house” has proven the most challenging…so finding Kaleem is a true blessing. I know Finn is in good hands …my senior pup 🐾🐾
Dominique and Brandon are absolutely exceptional. If I could give 10 stars I would. They took amazing care of our dog and treated her like she was her own. She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. We have tried boarding our dog with other people and I can say after she stayed with Dominique and Brandon she’s just so happy, playful, relaxed, it looks like she had her own vacation! You know when somebody took great care of your dog. Dominique and Brandon will be my go-to! They are amazing! Thank you Dominique and Brandon!!
Claudia and Juni (her pup) were SO awesome and went the extra mile during his stay to make Chase feel at home! From play time to hand feeding him when he didn’t want to eat to playing search games for mental stimulation. She also sent many videos and pictures which I very much appreciated!! I highly recommend her and Juni for your future dog sitting needs!!
Sai was excellent and amazing when boarding my dog for a couple of days. Followed all instructions given and provided updates throughout the day. Since this was my first time using this app I was a bit skeptical with everyone but I gained confidence because Sai is amazing at care for our loved ones. Will definitely book again if needed, Highly recommended.
Erika was simply wonderful!! She kept me completely updated with my dog, how he was doing, and what he was up toand made sure to follow his medication schedule as well since he is epileptic. I am so happy I trusted my dog in her care. My dog looked so happy in all the pictures and was so comfortable at her house. Thank you so much Erika for taking such good care of my snowy!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Haven home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your East Haven.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your East Haven sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
