“Nazim is an AMAZING doggy daycare provider. He has a large and fenced in yard for dogs to run around and play. My dog, Koby, loves to run around and play with other dogs. It's his favorite thing to do (besides eat)! He was able to get out all the energy he needed out and found a spot (in the yard) to chill out once he was done. Nazim sent a lot of pictures and video clips of Koby while in his care. I will definitely book another stay with Nazim!”
“This was the first dog sitting experience for our standard poodle Belle. We're very happy with how it turned out. Belle had a great stay with Margaret and an adventure spending the week with her dog Maple. Belle is a picky eater and Margaret kept us up to date on how she was eating through the rover chat. We also enjoyed getting the daily updates with pictures of Belle and Maple together.”
“My Sunny loves Stephanie. She takes care of Sunny as if Sunny were her own. She sends me updates and pictures and follows the instructions and routine I gave to her.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with Bean this weekend. She treated her like her own and gave her so much love and attention. Bean was completely spoiled — she even got to sleep in bed with them! 🥰 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring, capable hands. Laura kept us updated and made the whole experience seamless. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love on your pup. Thank you again for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Periodically, I need to travel and it's getting very difficult because I have an old dog that needs a lot of care. He has limited vision and hearing, arthritis, and requires several different medications. Susan was wonderful with him and patient. She knows how to care for an elderly dog. I felt extremely comfortable knowing he was with her. I would definitely recommend her and plan to bring my dog back again.”
“Great communication; very nice accommodations for the dogs; was very accommodating in dealing with an initial "accident" early in the stay-- kept us up to date with status updates regularly.”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“★★★★★ Highly Recommended! Our dog Reba had a wonderful time with Kristin and Jay. Reba has some vision challenges, so finding caregivers who are patient, attentive, and understanding is extremely important to us. Kristin and Jay went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, safe, and loved. From the moment we met them, we knew Reba was in great hands. They provided a calm, caring environment and treated her like part of the family. It was obvious that they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reba was receiving excellent care. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would not hesitate to use Kristin and Jay again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Reba! 🐾❤️”
“Betsabeth, is kind, caring, and compassionate. She sent pictures and updates daily and our dog was very well cared for. It was like leaving her with a close family member. Betsabeth is professional and has huge fenced in yard for playtime. We will definitely choose her services again. We cant say enough good things!”
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently working part-time and also going to school. I can take care of your fur baby after 3p.m. in the weekday and before 4 p.m. on Saturday and free on Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
“Karina took excellent care of my two greyhounds! Our dogs felt completely at home as we could see from the daily updates and photos. The fenced in yard is very secure and safe. I plan to use Karina again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Douglas and his dog Sunny took great care of my dog Chance. He followed all my instructions and had excellent communication. He even sent some nice photos that had me reassured Chance was doing okay. When I picked Chance up he was content, tired, and relaxed, all great signs.”
“We left our sweet little king charles cavalier spaniel (Daisy) with Kaylyn for two weeks while we were away. Kaylyn is just wonderful! Took great care of Daisy and communicated with us every day. Gave us lots of peace of mind! This is the second time we have used Kaylyn. We highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a teenager and I love being around animals. They have a way of raising your spirit. I currently work a full-time job and would be free on the weekends or after 3 PM on the weekdays. I’m also free most holidays. I make sure to follow whatever rules are given to me by the owner so that they feel comfortable, letting me take care of their best friend.
“Ashika took wonderful care of our dog Wilson! She was extremely responsive and gave us updates throughout Wilson’s stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog in the future.”
“My 1 year old puppy did great at Judy's house. Judy was so receptive to my nervousness leaving my puppy for the very first time. She sent me lots of pictures during the extra long stay and it calmed my nerves. Daisy came home and got right back to our schedule. She was looking for Calvin the first day home as she was obviously attached to him. Thank you so much Judy for agreeing to take Daisy for this once in a lifetime long trip for me. I hope you will take her here and there for a weekend or much shorter trips in the future. Many thanks. Robin”
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”
“Our dog Rocky loves staying with Kevin and Brian! He comes home tired and we never have to worry that he is safe and happy! He gets lots of love and we can relax that he is in good hands. We have used them many times and will continue to!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hartford
Since I signed up on the Rover app, Andrea is the only person that I've dealt with thus far. I trust her 100% with my fur baby. She always comes through when I need her and I can tell that His Honor is well taken off when he's in her care. Andrea is such a jovial soul. I feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care.
My family and I went out of town for a week, and Valeria watched our 11-week-old puppy, who can definitely be a handful! She did a fantastic job. She was extremely communicative and reliable, and our puppy seemed happy and very well taken care of the entire time. Valeria was incredibly attentive to everything that comes with caring for a new puppy, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We had a great experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. We will absolutely trust Valeria with our puppy again in the future!
This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.
Such a great Sitter. So kind and punctual. Very good with dogs and knows what she’s doing. Kept open communication throughout the stay and I was able to relax knowing my baby was in great hands! 10 out of 10 if you’re looking for someone whose loving to dogs & knows what they’re doing Nevaeh is the person! I will definitely be keeping her as my preferred sitter.
Rosmery is great! She is great with communicating and frequently sends photos and videos. She ensures our pet is well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. I've booked with her twice now and plan to book in the future again. I would highly recommend anyone that needs a sitter for their furry friend to contact Rosmery! :)
