“Marisa and her puppy, Maya, made Yoshi feel right at home. Marisa kept me updated with pictures and communicated extremely well. Even though Yoshi was happy to see me, he is a bit sad because am sure he misses his new friend, Maya. I highly recommend this family for your doggy sitting needs!”
“Leanne and Mark are absolutely marvelous. I met with Leanne before leaving my Portuguese Water Dog named Stella and my pup took to her immediately. She stayed with Leanne and Mark for two weeks and all the while I was sent photographs and updates and told how she was doing. Since I was travelling on business, it was a huge weight lifted from me knowing that Stella was in such good hands. She came back to me happy and healthy and I simply couldn't ask for more.”
“First time boarding my pup Diago with Brian and Jenny and they were very welcoming. Brian was flexible to accommodate my last minute travel plan which I very much appreciate.. he took such good care of Diago and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay., I can tell Diago had good time with Brian and Teddy. I would highly recommend Brian and will definitely trust him with Diago anytime in future.”
“Stephanie is the best! My dog is a very anxious little Chihuahua, She fully understands and takes excellent care of our little furry baby when we are long away. She provides updates and pictures every day, giving us peace of mind knowing our little guy is enjoying her time. I was worry free during the long trip because of Stephanie. I highly recommend Stephanie We are very thankful that we found her!”
“John was absolutely amazing from start to finish with my two pups. Another thing is that his wife seriously helped me with pinpointing one of my pups skin issues and referred me to great vets in my area. The whole experience from start to finish was great and I can already tell that my pups miss hanging out with their sweet pup Panini.”
“My lil’ Enastasia tends to be quite shy & timid with others, so I don’t think I can leave a better review than to say the second I pulled up in front of Brineydi’s house for their second visit, Enastasia jumped up the (closed) window, wagging her tail, and crying in excitement. She couldn’t wait to come back to what’s clearly a safe, loving & fun environment!”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
“David did a wonderful job watching my pup! He sent pictures of her everyday along with updates. She seemed very happy when we saw her afterwards. I’d trust him with her again!”
“Debbie made my anxious boy feel right comfortable and took such good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”
“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”
“Christina was amazing! My husky is high energy and very in your face. She didn’t even bat an eye and let him be himself. She was gracious, accommodating and truly just wonderful. I would definitely trust her again and urge you to as well.”
“Erica was one of the best dogsitters Buddy has ever had! She took such loving care of him, and sent daily updates. She was so easy to work with. So much peace of mind knowing Buddy was in such good hands.”
“Amanda and Giovanni were great with our dog Milo. It looks like he had a lot of fun! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. They took Milo on a long walk and he seemed to have a good time with their dog Einstein as well! They are definitely a great choice for a home away from home!”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Anthony! My dog Hazel stayed for several days. She a bit shy, and Anthony and Cosmo really brought her out of her shell. Anthony sent many photos and Hazel had a large outdoor space to play, which was awesome. When I picked her up, she was romping happily in the back yard with her new BFF, Cosmo, having the time of her life :)”

Since I was travelling on business, it was a huge weight lifted from me knowing that Stella was in such good hands. She came back to me happy and healthy and I simply couldn't ask for more.
Leah was amazing! This was our first time leaving our two dogs for an extended trip, and naturally we were a little nervous about being away from them for so long. Leah completely put our minds at ease. She sent us photos every day, and it was so reassuring to see our girls happy and having a great time while we were away. When we picked them up, our puppers came home tired, happy, and clearly very well loved — exactly what we hoped for! ❤️ It meant so much to us to know they were in such good hands, and being able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about them was priceless. We are so grateful to Leah and will absolutely be using her again. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Debbie is simply the best. She is clearly a dog lover and provides great customer service (with photos and regular updates, for example). She walked my dog several times previously and most recently kept her at her home for several days. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with her service! I am completely comfortable in leaving my dog in her good care.
Christine was AMAZING with my dog Lily & cat Lotus. We did an in person meet & greet with my dog at her house before booking the boarding with her, which was great. My girls got comfortable quick at her house and seemed to really enjoy their stay. Christine sent picture updates as well and was very communicative throughout the stay. She also was happy to accomodate all of their feeding needs & schedules. She was so flexible as well, which was greatly appreciated as traveling can often be stressful. The least stressful part of my trip was knowing my furbabies were safe & happy in Christine's care & her gorgeous house. I will definitely be rebooking with her & recommending to my friends and family who are looking for a pet sitter. Thank you so much again from me, Lily & Lotus.
Mónica is great with my senior dog! He has separation anxiety of we leave him. But with Mónica, he is comfortable and happy to be with her. She provides updates and pictures throughout the pet's stay. It definitely eases my mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. I highly recommend her for your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hartford 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 Hartford.
Tip: 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 Hartford 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. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
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 NJ 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
