“Mari did such an amazing job keeping our furbaby happy, cozy and active! She sent regular pictures of their outdoor activities and consistently kept me updated on how he was doing. She is awesome!”

“Anthony is great! My boy (4 month old GSD) was as happy as can be for the 2 weeks we were away! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using his services again in the future!”

“Brittany and her family are the BEST! Our Simon loves going there! He gets the best care and has so much fun. Brittany is a great communicator and sends regular updates and pictures. Can’t recommend highly enough!”

“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!”

“Our yellow lab Jodie had the most amazing stay at Alex's place! She stayed there for four nights. During each day of the trip, she sent us multiple videos and photos with commentary about what they were doing with Jodie. Alex was very responsive, always replying to messages within 5 minutes max. Alex, along with her husband and 4-year-old son, kept Jodie busy the entire time, including her in their nature trail walks/runs and cookouts, while also making time for cuddles and treats at home. Winnie, a golden-doodle they sit for often, helped guide Jodie's behavior during situations in their area, and was a friend to her as well. Alex stuck to Jodie's feeding schedule, which was helpful since she's had issues in the past. Apparently she started to shed, so they even took the time to brush her out. It seems like they provided a lot of 1-on-1 time for Jodie, since she slept like a log the night she returned. She even came back looking and smelling exactly like how she was when we dropped her off! Would absolutely, 100% recommend!”

“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.”

“Mariana was so great with our pup! She was so responsive and updated us multiple times a day while we were away! Our pup was so well taken care of and had a blast playing with the other doggies! Thank you again Mariana for treating our pup like your own!”

“Brianna is fantastic - not only did she save me when Riot’s usual sitters dropped out just 10 days before a business trip, she also took time to meet with me and reassure me, cared like a pro for Riot’s ears when of course she got an ear infection and a hematoma 3 days before the trip, sent so many cute pics and vids of Riot, put up with her fire alarm barks, and just generally cared for my annoying little baby so well. Brianna is a fabulous human being. Thank you so much!”


“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.”

“Smart, kind, and attentive. Claudia and Steven are wonderful people and our pup Luna enjoyed two great stays with them. They shared updates and photos on a regular basis which is so appreciated.”

“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.”


“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!”

“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”

“Bruce was excellent with my big boy. He sent tons of pics, which I really appreciated. Blue seemed happy as well. Bruce made the hand off easy and communicated often. We will definitely use his services again, as I feel safe, confident and comfortable with him.”

“Francesca has provided the kindest care to my baby, much love!! She was super sweet and communicative. I ran into some unexpected issue right before the pickup time, she was very understanding, flexible with the time, and had been a lifesaver. If you need to find yourself a trustworthy host in the new haven area, highly recommend her!”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

“It was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my two dogs with someone new, especially over night! Our Meet & Greet with Amanda put my worries to rest right away! I was confident they would be cared for. She sent me lots of photos & videos throughout their stay and my girls were very happy there. I will definitely be reaching out next time I need someone to watch my dogs!”

“Bianka was wonderful with my dog Howie. She was responsive and provided frequent updates while he was in her care! I’d absolutely recommend Bianka to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)”

“Stephanie is great! She sent us many photos of Peanut and is very gentle and patient with him. Her dogs are also really cute and make great companions.”

Fair Haven dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!
