“We had our dog stay with Heather and Greg for around 2 weeks (after verifying he gets along with their other pooches). Heather sent frequent photo updates and was easy to reach. Troy came back showered :-) (I'm sure he got super dirty playing), shiny and in good health.”
“Erica was an amazing sitter! My boxer is elderly, anxious, and has some medical needs that make me cautious about being away from her. However, Erica made me feel so comfortable leaving Athena for the week. She has a warm, open, and caring vibe that made me feel at ease! Erica sent me pictures and was very responsive to my (anxious dog mom) messages. Athena came home happy and freshly groomed! We would absolutely have Athena stay with Erica again!”
About: Hi! My name is Mahalah, and I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—big and small—for most of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a Miniature Pinscher who is quite the ball of energy! He also struggles with reactivity, so I have firsthand experience understanding a reactive dog’s needs, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and helping them feel comfortable in new situations. If your dog is reactive, nervous, or takes a little time to warm up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to take things at their pace and work toward building trust. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs who needed help getting up and down stairs and those who required daily medication. I understand that older pets may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention, and I’m happy to provide that care. Since I’m currently working on Rover full-time, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and treats throughout the day. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely happy while they’re with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so I can give them the best care possible. Whether they’re playful and full of energy, shy and nervous, reactive, elderly, or just looking for someone to cuddle with, I’m patient and always willing to meet them where they’re most comfortable. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, understanding, and building trust can be, and I bring that same care and compassion to every pet I look after. I want you and your dog to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“Kristina kept my shih tzu and maltese for 5 days while we went on vacation. She sent photos and video daily. The dogs were always having a good time. They came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Kristina again and recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Rosa was a great host for Milton! Asked excellent screening questions that reassured us she was knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. Was accommodating to our drop off and pick up times and made sure to send plenty of updates via text and pictures!”
“We’re SO happy we found Ashley! We needed someone last minute to watch our Yorkie, Maverick, while we were on vacation, and man, we really lucked out. From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her and sent us tons of pictures and updates while we were away. Each one melting our hearts more than the last. She took such amazing care of Maverick and really made him part of the family. Her son and Maverick became the best little buddies, which was honestly so sweet to see. It made us so happy knowing he was having fun, getting lots of love, and feeling right at home while we were gone. We came home to a VERY happy pup, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will absolutely have Ashley watch Maverick next time and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their fur babies! ❤️🐾”
“Destini is the best with my dog Zinni! This is my second time boarding my pup with Destini and it won’t be my last. She’s so great about communicating and sending lots of pictures and videos showing how happy my girl is during her stay.”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Rod was great with Maple. She was sad when it was time to go home because she had so much fun. He kept me updated throughout her whole stay with photos, let me know about how she was eating, and gave her plenty of time to run around and spend all of her energy.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Kimberly took great care of Samantha during her stay. She was kind, communicative, and patient, especially as Samantha needed some time to adjust. She kept us informed and handled the situation with professionalism and understanding. We truly appreciate the care she provided and her flexibility throughout everything. Thank you again, Kimberly!”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Kathleen is amazing! Molly had a great time. Our dog has seizures and requires multiple meds. She took expert care of our Molly. We will definitely try booking with her again.”

Since I signed up on the Rover app, Andrea is the only person that I've dealt with thus far. I trust her 100% with my fur baby. She always comes through when I need her and I can tell that His Honor is well taken off when he's in her care. Andrea is such a jovial soul. I feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care.
Izadora is the absolute perfect sitter! I always knew my Jack was in great hands, and the daily updates she provided kept me a peace throughout my trip. I can tell Jack had so much fun with her, her daughters, and he even got to play with various other dogs! Thanks again Izadora!
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took great care of our pup while we were on vacation. From making sure she had everything he needed to be comfortable, plenty of updates over the week, cuddles, and play time! We are so happy we found Michelle to care for such an important part of our family!
My dog Rhys and cat Nickel stayed with Anita and Ramesh for 4 nights. Their communication was exemplary and sent updates and pictures constantly. My pets seemed to be in good health and high spirits during and after their stay. I would absolutely book with Anita and Ramesh again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and dependable sitters! Thank you Anita and Ramesh!
My dog loves staying with Dyan! We've booked with her several times and it's always a great experience. My dog gets real daily walks and lots of one-on-one attention. Photo updates throughout the stay give me total peace of mind. Communication is easy, and my dog always comes home happy and tired. Highly recommend — we'll keep booking!
Zoe always takes such good care of our pup. While we were gone, she noticed our dog seemed to have an ear infection so she took it upon herself to schedule a vet appointment and notify me. Super grateful for her and knowing my dog is in good care when we’re gone!
I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.
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 🙏🙏
Rosmery is great! She is great with communicating and frequently sends photos and videos. She ensures our pet is well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. I've booked with her twice now and plan to book in the future again. I would highly recommend anyone that needs a sitter for their furry friend to contact Rosmery! :)
