“I felt confident in choosing Nicole to housesit for us. She was professional and reliable. She showed up on time, sent photos and updates and was quick to respond. She took good care of our 3 pets and our home. We will definitely seek Nicole’s services again in the future.”
“Ashley was a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our dog a bird over the holiday and could not be happier. Can not go wrong with trusting Ashley with your pet, we will 100% be using her again”
“We have never left our dogs with anyone that wasn't family before, and we were worried about our older dog being ok with a stranger for a week, but Kat is now family ❤ She was welcomed by both our fur babies and she was awesome with them. She sent pictures, kept us updated daily, and called when there was a problem that needed immediate attention. We will not only be using her services again, but we have referred her out to our friends that are looking for amazing pet services. Our pets were well cared for, snuggled, and played with. We are already looking forward to our next vacation knowing that Brody and Jade will be more than well taken care of.”
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”
“Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!”
“Jahaira, was amazing with our girl. Our Bailey is a senior dog who has issues walking and needs her medicine and Jahaira was so gentle, patient and kind. She took the time to just lay on the floor with Bailey and provided her with love. I would highly recommend Jahaira and definitely will use her again”
“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.”
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog and cat for an overnight visit while we were away. She is very reliable- we can always trust her and feel at ease knowing our pets are in such good hands!”
“Allie took excellent care of our sweet cat. She gave lots of treats and attention to her throughout her stay. Allie spent most of each day at the house maintaining our routines. She was also communicative, sending updates and lot of photos each day. We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a pet sitter.”
“Emily took great care of Ellie. She was on time and provided frequent updates throughout her stay to let us know how Ellie was doing. We even got several photos of Ellie! We would definitely use Emily again.”
“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 .”

“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“Jessica was amazing! She was able to schedule fairly last minute as the other sitter we use was on vacation. My puppy is very active and can come off as a lot when you first meet her and she and Jessica bonded quickly and by Sunday evening she was eating out of the palm of Jessica's hand. My house was also spotless when I came home and she took them out a ton to play which my heeler loved. Even my Coco seemed thrilled. I will certainly be using her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Briana was a great sitter for our goldendoodle pup! I was very anxious to leave him, but he settled in so easily with her. She provided updates each day including photos and an occasional video, and when we got back we had a happy dog and our house just as we left it.”
“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”
Hartford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Allie was truly lovely. This was our first time using a sitter. Parker has a lot of separation anxiety so I wasn't sure how it would go. She took the time to come do a meet and greet ahead of time. She made him feel comfortable, asked questions and spent time calmly cuddling him so he could get used to her while we were all together. She was communicative and sent me photo updates. It was clear Parker felt safe with her and that helped put me ease. I am so grateful to know we have someone we cen trust him with now.
Nikki was absolutely wonderful while puppy-sitting Kaia! She arrived right on time, followed every instruction perfectly, and took such loving care of our pup. Kaia clearly felt safe and happy — they played, cuddled, and bonded so sweetly. We felt completely at ease knowing Nikki was with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
