“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“It was my first time using rover and I was very concerned before I met Karen, she did such a amazing job, I couldn’t be happier, everything was perfect, she also helped me out with the rover website, Hachi loved her and I was very impressed by her knowledge about dogs, thank you so much, on my next travel you will be the first person I’ll contact !!”
“Zasha had a wonderful time with Malique house and she improved her party which is so great I really enjoyed it and I will definitely repeat the boarding care sitter with Malique !”
“This was Mila’s second visit with Maryann and it was again a success. Maryann is very communicative and takes such great care of our pup. She is awesome and Mila comes home happy and safe!”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“Sarah is the most amazing sitter ever! I travel with certainty that my cats will have the best care possible! She is very sweet and an animal lover like myself. Thank you Sarah!! 💝”
“Anely takes the best care of my girl! I had a last minute flight cancellation and she graciously accommodated an urgent extension of our boarding. Drop off and pick ups are fast and smooth and she sends the cutest update messages morning, afternoon, and evening. So happy to have found her!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”
“Jessica, Abu and Justin are the canine equivalent of the cat’s meow of dog sitters. Jessica is quick to communicate, easy going, and so knowledgeable! The backyard and house are well suited to canine guests. We can’t say enough good things and though our sweet dog is a homebody, we think he’s actually looking forward to his next stay and whatever adventures await him. Abu is one of a kind and a gentle, friendly host. THANK YOU!”
“Jay & Faith were wonderful. I was grateful to receive regular updates and photos of my pup throughout her stay, and they made me feel confident that she was safe and loved while I was away.”
“Lisa and her family were absolutely fantastic! They pampered my dog Sheila throughout her stay with them. Lisa sent lots of pictures and was very responsive to my texts. I will definitely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m flexible, respectful, and reliable. I’m available most afternoons after 4:30pm and on weekends, which is perfect if you need help while running errands or enjoying a dinner out. I genuinely love dogs and give them lots of attention, affection, hugs, and kisses—making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety is a top priority, so I make sure pets are always in a secure and loving space where they can relax and feel at home.
“Took my reservation with very little notice. Contacted me every day to let me know how my dog was doing and sent pics. Will be using Boa's services again and would highly recommend!!”
“Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.”
“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“We are a repeat customer with Robert. Daily updates with pics and videos. Great communication and very flexable with pic ups and drop offs. He socialized our pet in walks and visits, which we love.”
“Maisie's second stay with Chris and Whitney. She was very bummed to leave and was completely exhausted from all the play time she was able to get. We love that she gets to meet new friends to play with when she stays and a big back yard to roam around in.”
“I love love love my new family!!!!!!! I think next time I leave Frank I will stay for the night too! It was so hard to say good bye to them because I loved them so much! I will be booking them forever!!!!!”
Hartford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Connie was great with Eli and also very communicative with me, sending updates and photos of my big boy throughout the time that she was watching him. She also took the time to take him for a little walk as it was a beautiful day and overall, Eli seemed very content with spending his day with Connie and we’re looking forward to the next time!
Malique was a Reliable and kind sitter who made our first experience using a dog sitter a positive one. He took care of our dogs while we were away, kept communication clear, and returned them safely. We appreciate his help with GG and Nova and would recommend him! Thank You Malique!!
Isabel and her family took such great care of Bernie. She sent a detailed update daily with photos, and I could tell she genuinely cares for him. That means so much to me when I entrust someone to watch my precious boy. He got along great with their dog, Griggs, too! Thank you, Isabel!
Sierra was great. Foxy was hesitant at first but didn't come rushing out at the end of the weekend so I think she had a good time. It might have been Sierra's heated blanket that won her over! She will be staying again next weekend so obviously I am very happy with Sierra's care.
I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she started caring for my puppy, Sancocho, I knew he was in the best hands. Not only did she go above and beyond in meeting his needs, but she treated him with so much love, patience, and attention as if he were her own. What meant the most to me was the constant communication. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me he was happy, safe, and well cared for. As a puppy parent, that level of thoughtfulness and transparency made all the difference. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. She exceeded every expectation, and I came home to a well cared for, happy pup. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate, she is the one. I would trust her with Sancocho again in a heartbeat!
Boa was an actual lifesaver this past week! Dunkin was supposed to fly with me on my trip but was turned down at the airport. Boa was able to accept Dunk into her home and was so accommodating to my asks. She sent me multiple pictures a day! Strongly recommend and will love to book with again!
