5. Suzanne B.


“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”


6. Erica & Thomas C.

“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”

10. Ilona Arabelle V.

“Arabelle was absolutely incredible! My pup Pretzel had the best time ever! He was treated like family and got so much love from Arabelle! She took Pretzel on so many great walks and got lots of snuggles and playtime! Arabelle was also very responsive and sent many cute videos, picture, and updates throughout Pretzel’s stay. She was beyond amazing that I was afraid Pretzel wouldn’t want to leave!! We (especially Pretzel) can’t wait to use Arabelle again when we need a sitter for Pretzel! ❤️”




11. Jessica D.

“Jessica was wonderful with our 6-month pup! We have a border collie who is FULL of energy and could play/run for hours. Jessica’s house had a nice fenced yard where our pup could play and get her energy out. We received lots of updates and pics/videos during her stay. Planning to use Jessica again when we are back in the area. Thank you!”


12. Elizabeth A.

“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”


13. Britanny B.


“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”


14. Nina K.


“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”


15. Tina B.

“Tina watched our special needs, almost blind, senior shih tzu for the second time yesterday while we attended an event at Mohegan Sun. Our pup is a recent rescue with severe separation anxiety so she can be a bit challenging to sit. Tina is INCREDIBLE with her! We are so grateful to have found her. In addition to being fantastic with our dog, she is easy to work with, great communication, and just a wonderful person. We already have a few more sits lined up on the coming weeks. We highly recommend Tina for any of your pup sitting/walking needs. Thank you so much Tina!”


16. Vika & Victoria P.


“Can’t say enough. I knew right away my little guy Charlie was in good hands. Beautiful home. Warm welcome. Photos while we where away. Thankyou! Thankyou!”


17. Jessica C.

“Jessica was amazing with our young pup! We received daily pictures or videos and she even got him a pup-cake for his birthday! We will definitely be back.”


18. Kristin T.

“I am so lucky I found Kristin! My girl, Emmy, recently became an only dog and I was worried about how she would do when I went on vacation. Judging by the daily messages and pictures, it looks like Emmy had as much fun on her vacation as I did on mine! It gave me so much peace of mind to know she was part of a family. Thank you for taking such great care of Emmy.”


19. Madison S.

“Madison was great.communicative and upbeat and felt very comfortable leaving our mini golden doodle there for two days. We liked that her dog Jack was there and her and her husband are very conscientious and responsible. Lead in the backyard for Henry to play with jack but not feel restricted and flexible on pick up time. Very satisfied!”


20. Elizabeth N.

“This is my first time using Rover (I have used large boarding kennels for years), and I could not be happier with the care provided by Elizabeth. She sent daily photos and sometimes videos of my dog - who was obviously happy and having a great time. Liz has a competent, loving way with animals and a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. For example, Liz found and removed a tic I had not noticed and was not aware of. I recommend Liz without reservation.”
