“Mark and Vicky are a dream come true for our Jack Russell Cato, a 11 year old rescue with fear aggression issues with other dogs (there are three on the planet he loves, though). The anxiety when leaving for the kennel that kept him from day one was just getting to be too overwhelming for us and for Cato. Mark and Vicky have a lovely fenced back yard with dozens of squirrel targets of opportunity for Cato. He settled in with them, had lots of walks, and probably began to wear a path in their rug playing fetch with squeaky toys. We are grateful we found Mark and Vicky and the peace of mind they give us.”


“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”



“Mark and Elizabeth took excellent care of my baby boy Quincy!🐾. They were very good about giving me daily pictures and updates on how he was doing. Since they limit the number of pets that they board they were very attentive to whether he was eating, drinking water, sleeping well, napping a lot 😊. He loved going on walks with them. I knew he was in good hands when I dropped him off and he didn’t try to follow me out the door like he normally does. I highly recommend them if they are available.”

“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”


“Jan was so very kind with my baby Bentley, she updated me and made me feel rest assured with check-ins and pictures. I was happy to leave my mini schnauzer with her as she also has 2 mini schnauzers which made my pups stay extra fun to have playmates. I loved she has a fenced in yard where the dogs can run & play and feel free. Bentley loved her attention and cuddle time. I'm very picky when it comes to my baby and wanted to not worry and I felt she made me relax he was in good hands. I will definitely call on her for the next trip!!”


“We are very happy we found you and for taking in Eevee as another one of your family for this two week boarding. We could tell that Eevee was happy and content with you. We will definitely look to you first in the future for our boarding needs.”


“Mabel had an absolute blast with Paula, Bill and their dog Marty. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Mabel in their care and was provided with regular updates throughout her stay. Will definitely be using them again!”


“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”


“Megan & her family are the best!! It was the first time I had been away from Bailey Rae overnight & was so anxious! She put my fears to rest & was beyond kind in taking such great care of Bailey! Bailey was well cared for & loved! She had so much fun she was worn out for 2 days!! I would highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs you may have!”


“Jenna did such an excellent job taking care of our pup. We have never used a service like this before but felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with Jenna and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”


“I am so fortunate to have found Susan. She is very gentle and kind. My dog Teddy took to her immediately as well as to her husband and lab Jonah. Susan sent pictures and updates throughout the 3 1/2 days that Teddy was boarded with her. I will definitely use Susan for future boarding and/or daycare. In this short period of time that I have known Susan, it feels as if I’ve known her for years. I highly recommend Susan.”


“Anita, Ryan, and Fern are seriously the BEST petsitters one can ever ask for. Max (my now 10-month shiba inu) was so happy! He smells better than ever! Anita must be wiping him several times a day :) Also, he is very happy and has a shining coat! looks so healthy and happy.. what more can I ask for! This was the longest time away from my fur baby, more than 3 weeks! but he was in excellent hands! Thank you so much Anita, Ryan, and Fern!! (Fern is Max's stepsister he always wanted)”


“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

“Madison did a fantastic job! Bucky seemed so happy and she gave us daily updates so we wouldn't worry about how he was doing... including some great pics! Thanks again Madison!”


“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Aaron and Erin took the best care of my puppy Kolby. I had to go out of town due to family illness and they relieved so much stress for me knowing Kolby was getting the best care. Aaron and Erin kept.me updated with messages, pictures and videos. I would recommend them to everyone I know and will definitely use them again in the future!!!!!”


“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”

Middlebury dog parents share their Rover experiences
My Bailey and Baker stayed with Hanna for the first time last night..Hanna was great with them. They seemed to like her a lot. They came home happy and healthy. I will definitely use her in the future. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her..Highly recommend!!!

Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.

Nick came through in a pinch when I had to leave town, and took Jax again for me even though he is bigger than most dogs he usually watches. Jax loves Nick and his whole family. Sometimes it's hard to trust someone with your fur babies, but I 100% trust him with Jax - he is great with communicating any questions or concerns to ensure the stay is as comfortable as possible for both the pets and his family included. He is very highly recommended in my book !!
