Maria was an angel ?! She helped me with my baby Callie(who's really 9) while I worked back to back 12 hour shifts and my Mom was in the hospital. Mom's Callie Mama2 and is usually with her when I work. I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria and her care of my Callie. I would definitely recommend Maria to care for your beloved pet. Thank you to Maria and her family from me and Callie.

What a life saver!! She was able to watch my dog last minute before me and my fiance missed our flights. We had another Rover sitter that was unable to take care of our Taz last minute and from the minute we dropped Taz off I felt like he was in good hands with educated dog lovers that knew what they were doing. It was our dog first time in another home and I was so nervous that he would be scared but she sent pictures and he got to go outside. Will be using her again for sure!! ABSOLUTELY 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.

Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!

Tiffani took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. She made sure his medication was given twice a day, even setting an alarm so it wouldn’t be missed. She sent regular pictures and videos, which was reassuring, and my dog seemed to enjoy spending time with her dog. He can be very clingy, but she handled it without any issue. I’d be happy to have her watch him again and hope she’s available in the future! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Sherry to take care of my Stella, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the moment I met Sherry, it was evident that she had a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. Sherry went above and beyond to ensure that Stella felt comfortable and at ease during her overnight/next-day stay. Sherry kept me updated with photos and videos, which made me feel connected and reassured that Stella was in great hands. Stella is not an easy pup to win over, but somehow Sherry did just this! I cannot recommend Sherry enough to anyone in need of a dog sitter. She is not just a caretaker but a true dog lover who treats your furry family member(s) as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy to take care of your beloved pet, look no further than Sherry! She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank you again Sherry for providing my Stella with a home away from home!

Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!

Dexter is a passive 17+ yr “old” man. Laura was great with him. He often gets separation anxiety but was very comfortable and relaxed with her. She was very attentive updating us by sending pics and videos which confirmed he was very much at ease with her and her family. We’ll definitely use her again. Thanks Laura!

We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.

Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!

I can’t say enough about Dyan. She watched my senior blind, deaf toy poodle and took such great care of him. Dyan went out of her way to try to make him as comfortable as possible. You could tell she really loves dogs. I was so fortunate to find her. I would highly recommend Dyan to anyone.

Elizabeth was FABULOUS!!! She is an excellent communicator, responsible, trustworthy and flexible. Most importantly, our dog Heidi was a happy pup when she returned! Nothing better than peace of mind when away from your pup. Would absolutely book her again.

Mylinda was wonderful with Dexter! She gave him lots of attention, exercise, and adventure throughout the weekend, and kept me updated with great photos and messages. I could tell he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I really appreciate the care and effort she put into making Dexter feel at home.
