“Megan was truly amazing taking care of our pets. She followed all of our pet care instructions which included feeding a picky dog and a cat who needs medication daily. Without me having to ask, she sent constant updates (and pics) throughout the day which made me feel at ease being so far away on vacation. She is also very respectful of the home she stays in. We would 100% hire her again on our next trip.”
“Nicole was OUTSTANDING!! She kept us updated everyday with pictures and let us know how our boys were doing. She put our minds at ease while on vacation. I can’t say enough great things about Nicole! She is 5 star plus plus plus!!”
“Thank you Jennifer for being such a great sitter for my three boys! The pups were well taken care of and I trust you with their care. I’d love to have you again!”
“Alexandra did a great job with our dog. "Sierra" already misses Alex. Alex sent us photos and Kept us updated on day to day activities. Thanks again and great job Hope your available for our next vacation.”
“Sarah is so wonderful! I could tell from Ornn's reaction to her that he was happy, safe, and comfortable the whole time. I was able to breathe easy knowing he was in her care. She kept me updated all weekend and sent lots of pictures.”
“Our first time having Kayleigh with our 2 small pups, turned out to be the best choice possible. Having not had anyone before stay for 2 days, we were wondering how things would go. Kayleigh sent numerous photos and updates depicting how happy and well taken care of our pups were. Little accidents from my senior dog didn't phase her at all. We felt so comfortable with the care and attention given by Kayleigh. I would love to use her again .”
“Shantaya Did an AMAZING job caring for my Ramses in my home. She was caring and attentive and kept regular communication of Ramses well-being. Ramses is a LARGE by LOVABLE Pit mix who can sometimes be hard to handle because of his playful nature. Shantaya was up for the task and went above and beyond in care and service. I highly recommend her.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job caring for my pup! She was an incredibly attentive sitter. I highly recommend her. We look forward to having her visit in the future.”
About: I genuinely enjoy the time spent interacting with dogs. They all have their own personalities that I can assess fairly quickly. I've never had issues with dogs in the past and understand the psychology behind most of their behaviors. I have adopted and trained my current German Shepard Leia. She is not only one of the smartest dogs I've been blessed to have, but also the most playful, loyal and outgoing. Besides the joy that unconditional loving animals like dogs provide, I'd like to use my free time to provide a service for dog owners who need their pets to be walked, trained and looked after I work 4 days of the week and am looking to provide services on my days off Saturday-Monday. I attend to my pets needs throughout the whole week Exercise and play are always important for a happy dog. Allowing them to exert energy while also giving them attention reinforces your bond with them and the respect they will give you as their owner/caretaker
“Jahaira is just the best! One of our pups has a lot of fear issues and it takes him a while to warm up. He loves her and she takes such great care of both of our boys. Since she can stay at our home, it makes leaving the little one much easier. She checks in often and I feel good knowing she is with them when we can’t be home.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 14 years old. I like playing with them and petting them and doing whatever they like to do. I’m currently working part time so I have time to watch and play with your pets. I am available depending on the day we can talk to set up how we can work together. I will care and watch them like they are one of my own. After they need us and love us. I will always stay in contact with the owners for information on the pet at your home.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing as a house sitter. She was great with our two dogs and they are not the easiest to handle. One is a blind German Shepherd and the other is a skiddish Bernese Mountain Dog. But right away she had them both cuddling up to her. She's a natural. She also took excellent care of the house, was super informative and responsive, and made us feel very confident leaving our dogs and house with her while on vacation. I'd give 6 stars if I could.”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them for most of my life. My family just got a puppy and I am actively involved with helping care for him. I am a very active college student and would love to take your dog for a walk or to the park! I work as a part time babysitter so there is always time to care for your pet. I am in town and available almost every weekday. I make sure my pets are properly fed and well hydrated. I take them on walks as needed and play with them as well. If they need to be crated or taken to use the bathroom outside on a leash, that is also something I can do.
“Patrick literally saved the day! I had a last minute cancellation and he was able to help us out. Squishy and Storm felt comfortable with him from the start. He communicated with us throughout the day and we received several pictures and videos. Our pups had such a wonderful time that when we came home they were happy and super calm. He really treated my babies like they were his. Looking forward to working with Patrick again!”

Nanegea M.
“Before we even began regular walks, Nanegea scheduled a meet-and-greet to get to know Bentley and understand his specific needs, temperament, and routine. They asked thoughtful questions about feeding schedules, medical conditions, triggers (like squirrels or loud noises), and even his favorite type of toy. They also made sure I was comfortable with their protocols in emergencies. Communication has been stellar ever since—daily text updates, photos, GPS-tracked walks, and even the occasional funny story from the day.”

Hartford pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dog, Bean, is an anxious/reactive chihuahua towards strangers but he warmed up to Nicole quickly! She has a great energy with animals and she sent me tons of updates and photos while I was out of town. Bean was cuddling with her the whole time and was comfortable throughout her stay.
Allie is the best!! We were so lucky to have her take care of our Minnie once again!! She sent us videos and photos several times each day. My husband and I can relax on vacation knowing that Allie will give our girl so much love and attention!! We appreciate all that she does and highly recommend her!!!
Valerie was wonderful with our diabetic chihuahua and made our time away enjoyable knowing the animals were being cared for the way we needed. She kept us updated on their care and how they were doing. We will definitely be using Valerie again for our future travels.
