“McKenna was the best house sitter we’ve ever had! She truly went above and beyond in care of our German Shepherd and our home! We highly recommend and hope she is available for us in the future.”

“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”

“Dana was wonderful housesitting our two cats for a long weekend! She was professional, prompt, communicative, and sent excellent pictures. Huge thank you to Dana for bearing with our extra detailed care instructions and for generally making everything super easy for us! We’ll definitely reach out again for the next trip.”

“Hieu and Anna were absolutely amazing and cared for our girls with love! We initially had another sitter who became ill, and Hieu and Anna stepped in and took right over! They kept us updated and sent lots of photos! I hope they will watch our girls again!! ❤️”

“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”

“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”

“Great sitter! Jessica provided updates and pictures during the stay and maintained constant communication. I am always hesitant when I have to book a new sitter, but glad I found her! I have 3 dogs with weird quirks (one food aggressive, another anxious, and the last very hyper and annoying lol) so it can be difficult to find care, but Jessica took them on with ease. Would absolutely book again and recommend for services.”

“Olena took such good care of our two kitties! Always have anxiety when we both travel together but Olena made everything so easy and communicated throughout our trip. She also sent the cutest pics and great updates on how they were doing. Highly recommend her for your fur babies! She was terrific!”

“Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!”

“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”

“Rosemary is so kind and attentive, she took excellent care of our pup! She was sensitive to our dog’s reactivity and spent lots of time with him while we were away. Our dog was calm and happy on our return home and it was clear that Rosemary took great care of him. We will definitely book with Rosemary again in the future!”


About: Leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, I truly understand because I’m a dog parent myself. Communication and trust mean everything to me, so while you’re away, you’ll always know how your pup is doing. If you are looking for a caring home, not just a pet sitter, then we are a perfect match. My name is Angela and this is something I do together with my daughter because caring for animals genuinely brings us joy. When pets stay with us, they aren’t just being watched, they become part of our little family. Your pet will have a loving family giving them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection while you’re away. ** What You Can Expect ** ✔ Consistent updates and communication so you feel at ease. ✔ A calm, loving home environment. ✔ Plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. ✔ Patient, attentive care for every personality. ** Experienced With Special Care ** Because my own dog had diabetes, I also have hands-on experience administering medication, including insulin shots. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable and calm during their care. ** Care That Matches Your Pet’s Needs ** Whether your pet is: — playful and full of energy — a little shy at first — or a sweet senior who prefers a calm space We’re happy to meet them exactly where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet. We’d love the chance to get to know you and your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. I work from home and that affords me great flexibility to take on Drop-ins and walks. Very flexible throughout the day and week. Early riser ! Safety , attention to detail and owner specific instruction are paramount to quality service. I would care for your pet with the love and care the way I care for my own.

“Ana was amazing and really put our minds at ease while staying with our pup! She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!!”

“Lenny is wonderful! Upon her 1st visit all the animals including the cats that usually hide from strangers were investigating her. She took great care of everyone - our cats and our dogs. She even did wash animals bowls and the dishes we left in the sink in a rush to leave. Everyone seem to be very happy. She sent a ton of photos and asked questions! Cannot recommend enough!”

“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”

Newington pet parents share their Rover experiences
McKenna was so great! She really paid attention to every little detail about our 2 pups and took amazing care of them while we were away. She sent lots of pics and updates and was also super flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed! We will absolutely book her again!

This is our second time that Ray has cared for our sweet doggie in our home. She's a really caring sitter. She's experienced, has good judgment and loves animals, and she left our house in great shape. Having her take care of Honey in our home gave us real peace of mind. We will definitely ask her to watch Honey again.

This was my first time leaving my babies with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend so I was extremely nervous for someone new to watch them. Za’Nai was the best! She sent me daily pictures and updates, she communicated efficiently and she took the dogs on adventures. When she had concerns or questions, she reached out which I greatly appreciated. I came home to happy dogs and a very clean home which was so nice to see after traveling all day. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!

Hieu & Anna are seriously the best. The care and effort they put into making sure everything is exactly how we asked has gone way beyond our expectations. They send multiple updates throughout the day, tons of photos, and always make sure Rocco is living his best life. Their end-of-day recaps are unique, detailed, funny, and honestly one of our favorite parts. They also take care of our home like it’s their own, which gives us so much peace of mind while away. At this point, we’re pretty sure Rocco might love them more than us.

We are so grateful for the amazing care Jackie provided! She stayed in our home and took such thoughtful, attentive care of our senior dog, who struggles with severe anxiety and needs medication three times a day. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands made it so much easier for us to be away. She was incredibly sweet and always quick to respond to any messages. On top of that, she was a respectful and thoughtful guest in our home. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Stephanie was wonderful with our puppy, Galleta. She stayed our pup for various days over the last two weeks and was always loving, playful, and attentive. Galleta clearly enjoyed spending time with her. Stephanie was punctual, communicative, and sent great updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and we would happily have her watch Galleta again. We definitely recommend her! 🐶

Adriana has always taken the best care of our two dogs Luna and Scout. We especially appreciate her thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the care they need. Adriana is generous, always caring, and frequently spoils our dogs with new toys and treats. Our dogs always have a big smile on their face when Adriana cares for them (:

This was our first time using rover and Lauren was amazing. She is so kind and obviously loves animals. She stayed at our house with our senior dog, Bob. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were gone. He clearly loved his time with her.

Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!

Kaiya and Charles did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They sent detailed updates and photos of our dogs while we were out of town. They were very respectful with our home and took excellent care of our house while we were out of town. 100 percent will rebook if we need a dog sitter again!
