1. Britanny B.


“We recently left our dog, Ivy, with Brittany, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Ivy absolutely loved being there! Brittany and her family treated Ivy like one of their own, showering her with love and attention. It was clear that they genuinely care about the pets they look after.”


2. Julius G.

“We love Julius and so does our pup! We've used his family so many times and each time has been easy and no problems at all. It's so nice having peace of mind that our pup is loved and well cared for.”


3. 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!”


4. Shannon C.

“This was my first time using Rover.com and I HIGHLY recommend Shannon for overnight weekend stay. She treats my pup as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My pup adores her whole family and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care are extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my pup is well cared for is priceless. I was surprised that her scheduling system is easy to use and she provided very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates pictures of his stay. We will reach out to her for more day sitting to help Leo learn to interact more with other dogs. Thank you!! God bless!!!”


5. Holly M.

“Holly was great! As a nervous dog mom, she made me feel reassured that Hank was in capable hands from the first Facetime meet and greet to continual updates and photos throughout Hank's stay!”


6. Karen F.

“Karen kept me informed and communicated promptly. My dog absolutely loved his stay and would recommend Karen for anyone looking for someone to watch your beloved pets.”


7. Francis E.

“The sitters communicated daily about the puppies and took care of them very well. My two puppies enjoyed their time and their visit. Both of them looked happy, healthy, and well fed. I have received a lot of adorable pictures and videos from the sitters that assured me our puppies were more than just well off. The treated the puppies like their own family and that was the most wonderful thing to know that they were definitely in the right hands. Thank you guys!”


8. Laura G.

“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”


9. Melisa M.

“I would highly recommend Melissa. She took excellent care of our dog Poppy. It was nice getting updates so you don’t worry how things are going. Her home is very welcoming and friendly.”


10. Samantha O.

“Samantha was such a wonderful friend to our baby Clover while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pics and updates and it was clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend Clover's stay a few days, and we really appreciated that! Samantha will definitely be our go-to when we need a sitter in Westbrook!”




11. Mary Jo M.


“Our dog was well taken care of by Mary Jo. He stayed with Mary Jo and her family for two separate stays in December and my pup came home content and happy.”


12. Ariel T.

“This was our first time bringing Dexter to Ariel's home. He was there for 10 nights. He had a great time with Ariel and her family. We received pictures every day from her showing Dexter socializing and playing with the other dogs she was also boarding. He got to play outside and run around in her gated areas in their yard which Dexter loved. Ariel communicated with us throughout our trip and responded to my many check in's on how Dexter was doing. We definitely will bring Dexter to Ariel and her family again. Highly recommend!!!!!”


13. Nadjeska R.

“So grateful for Nadjeska! Last minute getaway and couldn’t take our four-legged boy with us. Nadjeska was willing to board him on such a tight deadline/notice. Great communication! Great picture updates! Smokey had a great time! Definitely a repeat in the future! Thank you”


14. Wilson & Cherryl E.

“Wilson and Cherryl made sure our puppy SKY got plenty of playtime, and even sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. He was very comfortable with there kids and was happy when we picked him up. SKY was in such caring hands. We will definitely trust Wilson and Cherryl for future trips!””


15. Nala P.

“Nala and Del did great with Quincy and Zali for two nights and they sent us photos of their activities. Good experience and will use again. Thanks.”


16. Brittany W.

“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”


17. Laura C.

“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”




18. 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!”




19. Jared R.


“Jared is awesome! He’s now watched my two dogs twice for 5 day work trips and he’s just fantastic with them. He sends updates daily, makes sure they’re safe and having lots of fun, and the pups love him. I know they’re in great hands with Jared and look forward to having them stay with him again anytime I’m away. Thanks Jared!!”


20. Jieun B.

“I recently had Jieun look after my dog and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure Skippy was well cared for and comfortable. Skippy can be reserved with new people, but he quickly warmed up to Jieun. Communication was another standout aspect of the stay. I received regular updates and great photos of Skippy having a good time, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that Jieun genuinely cared about Skippy’s well-being. The level of attention and care Skippy received was outstanding. I highly recommend Jieun if you need someone to care for your pet. Skippy and I are both incredibly grateful for the exceptional stay!”
