“Brianna took such good care of my dog! She clearly cares a lot about animals and I felt confident that my dog would be well taken care of while I had to go out of town. She what frequent updates and was always very responsive. I will definitely book with Brianna again.”



“True dog lover, just the type of person you want caring for your fur baby! My dog was well cared for, pampered and loved. She was proactive contacting me with a concern about my dogs health, which I truly appreciated. Definitely can recommend and will book with her again.”



“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”


“Malik kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone with pictures and updates! Our furry buddy was relaxed and happy, when we picked him up! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”


“Otter always looks forward to going to Stephanie's home! He romps and plays with the other dogs, and she takes fabulous care of him while I'm away. He gets to go on nature walks, relax in her bed, and play and be a dog! She sends frequent updates, and I'm always comforted by how happy Otter looks! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking through Rover to take care of their pup!!!!”



“Howard was so wonderful with our two girls! We used to use a local kennel and after the last few stays, we could tell our girls were not happy - finding Howard gave us the peace of mind that they could stay at home in an environment which they were comfortable with and felt safe. Knowing we were nervous with our first go at this, Howard sent plenty of updates and pictures to put mom & dad at ease. We are already rebooking him for our next trip and highly recommend him for others in the Westville area!!”


“Bruce is amazing. This is our second time having turbo stay over. He sent us pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day. When our trip got extended it was no problem for turbo to stay an extra night. We feel the most comfortable when Bruce watches our pup than anyone else around. We can’t say enough positive things about Bruce and the care he gave turbo. We know in the future if we are going away we will only book with Bruce. Thank you again!”


“We are very pleased with the care Bianca gave our dog Marlo. We could tell that Marlo enjoyed staying with Bianca and her mom and felt at home. We would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.”


“Bianka was wonderful with my dog Howie. She was responsive and provided frequent updates while he was in her care! I’d absolutely recommend Bianka to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”


“Julissa was wonderful with Thor and very accommodating to our last minute changing schedule due to flight delays. She provided updates and photos of our pup which eased our seperation. Thank you, Julissa!”


“Tatyana was so nice and I felt secure leaving my two dogs with her. She accepted our last minute request, was very welcoming to Mia and Cody and provided us with many updates and pictures. I will definitely book her again”


“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”


“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”


“I really wanna thank justin and his family for taking great care of my noss ❤️ he was a very happy puppy while in their care and I will highly recommend them to anyone and definitely will be coming back!!!”


“We needed Jasie because our usual person was not available. Jasie lives across the street from us and we didn’t even know that until Rover! We went away Friday night to Sunday night. Jasie was great, she sent pictures, texted any questions and cared for Cadie like we would. We are so happy we found her! Will use again!”


“Zuleima did a great job of taking care of my dog for a weekend trip. She sent me lots of photos and her children were extremely kind to my dog which I appreciate. She also responded super fast to my request, so I highly recommend!”
