“Sam and Thomas were awesome. They were able to watch Sharlee last minute, and updated us often with pictures of Sharlee. They took her on walks and played fetch with her. We could tell she was very comfortable in all the pictures. Sharlee got along very well with their two other dogs who were very friendly. Thank you so much ! Heather”
“They were very friendly and attentive. Very clean, this is the first dog sitter we have used that we didn’t have to give our dog a bath when we picked her up. We would send our dog again.”
“Min Joo is a very thoughtful and accommodating dog sitter. We had a wonderful experience and felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of with the frequent communication and photo/video updates.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Looking to get my own, but in the meantime, would be excited to watch yours. I have plenty of toys and treats and I’m happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable to keep your furry friend happy! I currently work at Dartmouth Hitchcock full-time which is why I typically can only watch during the weekend. My flexibility means I can also sometimes work remote. Depending on your preference, I’m sure we can work out something great. I am happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable. I love to go for a walk, so I’m happy to take them down to the small park that we have. Or if they’re not much of a walker, I’m happy to sit and relax as long as they know how to pick a TV show.
“Sam was wonderful with our Labrador “teenager,” who was on his first “vacation” away from us! She has a great, calm and positive demeanor, and clearly understands dogs. She kept us regularly updated, sent pictures, and was very reassuring. Our boy had lots of fun and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying, confident in Sam’s caring and skill. We have already booked her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was ten years old, and I absolutely love their company! I love caring for pets of all ages; our sweet rescue passed away a year ago, who we took in during her golden years, and now my wife and I have a 2.5 year old pup with an abundance of youthful energy. O she loves making new friends, and we would love to have some more dog time ourselves! We go on regular walks, play in the dog park at least once a day, and can handle any dietary, medical, or other type of need your little one has. I’m a paraprofessional; so I have summers off. I work freelance and gig jobs, which I mostly do from home and am used to scheduling around a dog care routine, as we have our own dog at home. I have a fenced yard, and our own dog to keep yours company! I have no issues following any boundaries you’d like me to follow with your pet: I’m happy to crate them when they need time to relax, keep them on or off leash as you prefer, and make sure they’re provided stimulation, play, and opportunities to earn treats!
About: Since I was 12, I have taken care of neighborhoods, friends, and families dogs, cats, and other pets. I have owned three dogs, other miscellaneous pets, and have raised three litters of puppies. I am more than happy to feed and care for other pets, including rodents, amphibians, and reptiles. I am a college student back home from July 30th to August 20th. My schedule is completely open and I can house sit during the week. I am unable to bring pets into my own home. I will stay over at my client’s houses with their pets because it tends to be more convenient.
“Our pups recently had their second overnight with Meredith. She provides very honest feedback about their stays- the fact is, our pups would rather be with us than away from us. But we know they are safe and well cared for with Meredith. She is kind and consistent with them and we know they will settle in over time. We are very happy to have Meredith care for our dogs.”
“I picked up a happy pup after a stay with Eddie and Rene. Eddie took Charlie on walks, hikes, and to the local parks. He has two other dogs who got along well with Charlie. Eddie is quick to respond to texts and sends pictures along. We will have Charlie stay with Eddie and Rene again. Thank you !”
“Sarah, Ben and Bean are the BEST. Attie had the most incredible time playing with Bean and I loved the updates and pictures. Sarah knew how nervous I felt leaving him for nearly 3 weeks and was so considerate and kind. Attie came home tired and he seems like he misses Bean and Sarah already. Love that we have found such an incredible family to leave Attie with when we are away ❤️”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals. I worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years and spent two years in high school working for a dog and cat boarding facility. Currently a medical student, I have a lot of flexibility. I’m able to complete morning, midday, and/or evening walks. I am often available on weekends. I have a fenced in porch and can take dogs out on leash. I live close by to the rail trail and in a very walkable neighborhood. I can administer topical, oral, and subcutaneous medications.
“This is my second time leaving Charlie with Tom. He goes way beyond taking care of him, and my dog loves him. He responds fast my messages and sends many pictures. Charlie has such a great time with him that he cries on the way back home! Thanks Tom.”
“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”
About: Active on rover a couple of years during medical school, now looking to supplement my free attending time with furry friends to explore the upper valley! I love to hike and ski, always happy to take your pet on a fun adventure! I do shift work usually, so my schedule might not be very consistent, but I’m happy to work with you on it, just let me know! I’ve had plenty of time dog sitting, working at rover for a few years in Portland Maine and taking care of my husband’s family dog for weeks on end. Since my condo is rather small, I prefer petting sitting at their home. I like to keep their routine schedule, so would prefer clear instructions on the pet’s day to day.
“Zuko loved his little vacation!! Samantha was wonderful and a perfect host! Her and her family have a beautiful property with a ton of outdoor space. My dog played his heart out and had the time of his life. I don't think he wanted to leave! I would recommend her for any and all boarding you needs! I will certainly be using her again in the future!”

Elizabeth K.
“Liz is an exceptional pet sitter. She’s wonderful with both dogs and cats. She's patient, attentive, and caring. My cat is shy but Liz took the time to build trust, and now they’re best buds. She even taught him a few tricks, which I didn’t think was possible! My high energy dog can be a handful, but Liz handles him easily, you can tell she has tons of experience and really loves what she does. She’s also incredibly dependable. She responds to requests quickly (usually within minutes!) and has never canceled on me, even when my schedule has changed last minute. She’s always understanding, flexible, and easy to work with. She also worked in a vet office for several years, so I know that she'll know where to turn with emergencies!”

Hartford dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Sam and Thomas. Our dog was greeted by their friendly pups, and we enjoyed knowing there were other dogs in the house to play with. Sam and Thomas are caring and kind folks who enjoy having dog guests in their home, which is well situated on a quiet street. We will be back. Thank You guys!
Jordyn was awesome! My dog, Gracie, is an older pup who has arthritis and can sometimes be very stubborn about walks - she is definitely not a "beginner level" dog. Jordyn was amazingly patient with her, sent regular updates with pictures, and sent her home clearly happy, fed, and loved. It had also been a rainy, muddy weekend, but Gracie came home so clean and fluffy, it was like she had been to the salon. I highly recommend Jordyn as a kind, responsible, patient, and positive dog-sitter.
