“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“Haoran was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Molly and Olive! From start to finish, she went above and beyond with their care. She kept us consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs—Molly and Olive were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved the entire time. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Haoran and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again. Highest recommendation!”

“My buddy seemed very happy during his visit He also adjusted very easily when he got home very relaxed. A great experience for him I feel He will go there next time when needed.”

“First time our dog stayed with Emma and Marco I was very comfortable they were taking great care of her. Got daily updates (pictures) and our dog was very happy. They treated her as their own. Highly recommend Emma and Marco.”

“We are so happy to find Khanh and Tommy to care for our Pluto while we are away for 2 weeks. We feel he is in good hands. He receives lot of loves and attentions like at home. My sons are excited seeing daily photos and videos of our Pluto playing with Khanh’s family and their dogs in their backyard. We will use them again and highly recommend their service! Thank you so much!”


About: I have experience with animals who have special needs. It can be stressful thinking about leaving your pet. Especially if they are on a special diet or in need of medication. I know how important this is to follow. I work full time with 2 days off a week. However, I live just 10 minutes away from work. I am able to check on your pet during my lunch break. I only take one animal in at a time, unless they are from the same household. I live in a condo. We have plenty of sidewalks and grass areas to walk your fur baby. I will make sure they have their feedings, and leave out water during the day. We will watch TV together in the evening. At bedtime I allow the animal to sleep in bed with me. I want your pet to feel like this is their second home.
“Thank you so much for your patience with Flash and making him feel comfortable in your home. I really appreciated that you were able to watch him while I was out of town.”

“Sheet is so attentive to my dog. I receive frequent updates. I appreciate that I can trust her with such an important part of my life while I have to leave town. Thank you Sherry!”

“Joshua and Jamie were absolutely amazing with our dogs! They cared for our boys like they were their own family! We were kept updated in regard to some complicated health issues our senior dogs are going through and they managed their medication routine very professionally. They also sent us cute pictures and videos of our boys playing with their dogs and it made us feel like we weren’t so far away :) We wish there were more stars for us to rate with and very, very highly recommend them!”

About: Ive been a dog owner all my life and have pet sat for many family and friends. Young or old, I love dogs and am ready to take care of your furry companion like they were one of my own. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can watch your pet throughout the week or weekends as needed. Just walks are available throughout the day too. I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a medium sized crate for crating if needed. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but plenty of toys an activities for a fun doggy day! I also live close by a few parks and dog parks that can provide a nice field trip.
“Thanks as always! Topo loves staying with Maritza. He always come back a happy healthy pup, you can tell he enjoys his time there. Highly recommend working with Maritza for any rover services.”

“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them! To me, dogs are family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds, personalities, and ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra care and comfort. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routine, and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some good cuddle time, your dog will always be in good hands. ❤️ I'm currently working from home Mon-Fri. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I love spending time walking, playing, and caring for dogs throughout the day. I have a friendly Shih Tzu-Pekingese mix names Maverick who is friendly to other dogs. He usually just keeps to himself though. I do not have a fenced in yard, but do have a nice quiet street to take the dogs on walks.
About: I recently relocated to Connecticut from Asheville, North Carolina, where I owned my own pet care business for two years. I bring extensive experience in animal care, including previous work as a Kennel Assistant at an animal rescue and work as a vet assistant at an animal hospital. I have experience working with a wide range of animals, including those who are aggressive, blind, or deaf. My lifelong love for animals is reflected in the way I care for my own two dogs, whose well-being is always my top priority. I bring that same level of dedication and compassion to every animal entrusted to me. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind when you need to leave your pets in my care. I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person looking after your animals, so I provide regular updates, photos, and reassurance throughout my time with them. You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I currently offer full-time pet sitting services and am available for house sitting as needed. I am available most days of the week and most weekends! I will closely monitor your pets and provide outdoor time according to their individual needs. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive regular potty breaks, proper feeding, and any required medications. If I am house sitting, I will ensure your home remains secure and clean at all times, with doors locked and pets safely inside.
“Brian and Kevin were absolutely wonderful with my pup! They were great to work with and took such good care of my dog while I was away! She had a great time and I was at ease knowing she was with them. They were very communicative and accommodating, and most importantly they clearly love animals!!! Would absolutely recommend and will work with them again!”

Chris and Fernanda took such great care of our mini goldendoodle Eevee. Eevee felt comfortable with the whole family and their son Luke right away. They also sent lots of photos and updates. We’re so glad to have been able to find them for a last minute trip and would highly recommend !

Rumi is our go to every time! Sky loves going to their house and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I can tell he is treated like one of the family and I always feel at peace when he is there. Thank you again Rumi & family for providing such a lovely stay for Sky and being so accommodating 🙏🙏
