“My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.”
“I always know Sassy is in great hands with Bruce. He gives updates with pictures throughout the day. She is always happy to be dropped off in his care. Will continue to book with Bruce!”
“Stephanie was terrific with my dog, Clementine. She knew just what Clem needed. The dropoff and pickup went smoothly. Best of all, Stephanie’s dog Caden was a great playmate. I highly recommend Stephanie, she’s amazing.”
“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.”
“Katherine took such amazing care of Leah. She was communicative, caring, accommodating, and just the sweetest. I would leave our pup with her again without hesitation.”
“Alexandra was great with laika who is very shy. she sent updates everyday & constantly. i really appreciate everything she did for my baby. laika was with her for one week & didn’t even wanna leave when i went to pick her up. definitely would recommend.”
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”

“Sai took such a good care of our little Moxie while we were gone for the weekend! Not only did she took her in with such a short notice from our end, she also made sure to play with her, feed her as we instructed, and overall provide Moxie a welcoming environment while we were gone. Sai updated us very frequently about how Moxie was doing and for any other questions she wanted to ask us. She even provided such cute pictures of our girl! I definitely recommend and trust Sai to take care of your kitties when needed. She is very kind, responsible, and very understanding :). Thank you, Sai!!”

She has a beautful large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play. Very pleasant and my dog seemed happy when i picked him up also so i know he enjoyed himself! Will definitely book with Noemi again!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
East Rock dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anthony was absolutely amazing. This was our first time boarding our ptt mix rescue puppy. Sam, was very attached to us, so I was really nervous this experience was going to be difficult for her. Was I wrong! She did miss us, as we were away for 10 days, but after meeting Anthony the first time and seeing his great fenced in set up, along with receiving lots videos of our girl playing with other dogs during her stay, I can honestly say I felt very comfortable with her in his care. Plus, I know she had fun! Anthony is very accommodating and when we had some travel issues and needed to extent her stay, he was very gracious and made that process so easy. He even made food for her, as she eats a special diet! Who does that during a major snow storm ? I will definitely book him again when we travel, and I am also going to schedule her weekly for daycare! This experience was a very positive one for both Sam and our family
We had a fantastic experience with Stephanie. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated with LOTS of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. Our dog had a great time playing with the other friendly dogs in the house. We’d absolutely book with Stephanie again and highly recommend her! 🐾
5⭐️! Karina and Teresa were so kind and attentive to our two dachshunds, texting us photos frequently and keeping us updated on them throughout the day. Their dogs were very friendly and welcoming to our babies and they enjoyed their stay. Looking forward to another stay for our dogs! 🐶
We had a wonderful experience with Mari! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dog, Bomi. She offered to send photos every few hours or as one batch at the end of the day. We received regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Her roommate’s older dog was also a calm, gentle friend for our shy girl. Bomi came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would 100% book with Mari again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
Dax had an excellent stay with Monique and Anthony! They are so kind and knowledgeable, and accommodated a change in our arrival time, we were delayed because of snowy weather. I received lots of great pictures of Dax settling in and playing with their dog. Monique and Anthony are very knowledgeable about dogs and their interactions and behaviors, and take the time necessary to introduce the dogs to each other. When we picked him up, Dax was happy, well cared for and rested. Usually he’s over-eager to see us and fairly tired after an overnight stay. Not this time! We will definitely have him stay with Monique and Anthony again in the future.
Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!
Zuleima and her family are so great! They have a very calm energy and sweet home. Our pup settled right in with them and thoroughly enjoyed himself over the long weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We wouldn’t hesitate to have them keep Bear again.
This was our first time having someone outside our immediate family to watch over our dog Quincy. So we weren’t sure how he would do with someone he didn’t know, especially with another dog in the house. But I knew from the first time I met up with Nafiye to meet Quincy, that everything was going to be ok. He was great with Quincy and he felt very comfortable and responded well with her. He got a long very well with her very trained dog and he had a very nice stay with her while we were out of town. We liked that it was very important to her that she spent a little bit of time with him before committing to watch g him for us. She sent pictures and videos of his stay and playing with them. We will definitely be using her in the future, if she is available.
Absolutely amazing! We were traveling through the area, and needed somewhere for our girls to stay. Diana had awesome communication, was so sweet to our pups, and made us feel very calm! So thankful we had them stay and if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll use again!
