“Nadine and her family were wonderful in taking care of our dog, Stella, while we were away. They were very attentive to Stella’s needs and personality and kept to her regular routine. Nadine kept us updated of Stella throughout her stay which is important when apart from your pets. We will definitely be using Nadine and Daniel again as dog sitters and highly recommend them to anyone considering a sitter for their pets.”
“Bruce was so great watching our two pups the week we went away. One of our dogs is epileptic and requires special treatment, including medication multiple times a day. Bruce continuously updated me every time she was given her medication and restroom breaks along with pictures of both of the dogs. He made my time away on vacation as less stressful as can be being away from my dogs.”

“Jen was absolutely magnificent as ever. Our Stella clearly had a great time and was very well taken care of. We received pictures of a very happy dog each and every day while we were gone! We will most certainly book again whenever we can - Jen is a truly 1st class sitter!”

“Oscar stayed with Kristin for two weeks and he was well taken care of. This is the second time he’s been with Kristin so he was already familiar with everything. She also got Oscar a birthday toy and celebrated his birthday while I was away which I thought was very sweet. Very appreciative to have a family who Oscar feels comfortable with. Kristin was communicative throughout the long trip. Thanks again!”

“Amanda & Michael were perfect for our 2 pups. Great Communication and incredibly flexible when we ran into travel issues. The dogs were safe and had a blast in a nice yard with their own dog. Will definitely re-book.”

“She was a great dog sitter, reliable, caring, and my dog loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. she kept an open line of communication and sent pictures each day to keep me up dated”

“Such an attentive dog sitter with daily updates at least twice a day. Elizabeth and her her lovely family took great care of our Doberman mix. She got so much love and attention I was afraid Pixie wouldn’t want to come home with me. Lol. I got a cute little doggie report card at pickup detailing her stay. Will definitely book with her again.”

“We left our Bernese Mountain Dog with Kara for a week and a half and had so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved as much as we love him. Kara was great and sent us many pictures and updates throughout our time away. I have to say, our doggie looked like he was smiling in all of the pictures...I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home :) I highly recommend Kara to love your pets in your absence!”

“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”

“Gaileen was great! She was very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She sent us some great pics and a video to update us on our pup’s stay with her and nice feedback as to how he was settling in during his stay. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely book her again!”

“Stefanie was absolutely amazing with my dog! This was my first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious, but she was a fantastic communicator throughout my dog's stay. We got so many adorable pictures and video updates. Her cats are super dog-friendly, and my dog got along great with them. Stefanie is very knowledgable and understands the nuances of pet care. My dog had a wonderful experience, and usually my dog is pretty anxious in new situations! She got plenty of affection, attention, and exercise. I would definitely book Stefanie again!”

“Christina is truly the best! When my trip was approaching and my original sitter canceled unexpectedly, she stepped in without hesitation and took care of my dog, Lucas, on very short notice, showing incredible understanding and flexibility. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, making me feel at ease even from afar. Christina treated Lucas like family, allowing him to sleep close to her and ensuring he was well cared for. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals make her absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help!”

“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

“Mari did such an amazing job keeping our furbaby happy, cozy and active! She sent regular pictures of their outdoor activities and consistently kept me updated on how he was doing. She is awesome!”

“Laura, Carolina & Enrique were great! I needed a sitter last minute and reached out to them. Luckily they were available. They responded fast, took good care of my pups and they had such a great time they were super tired after I picked them up. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!”

“Tatiana took great care of our Ricky boy for 4 days. She was attentive to detail, sent lots of photos and treated him like her own. Ricky is usually slow to warm up to people, but took a liking to her immediately. He also loved the fully fenced yard to run around and play! We will definitely be booking again.”

This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!

Esmeralda was amazing with my dog max. She made him apart of her family for the week he was with them. She sent me text with videos and pictures. There wasn’t one moment I felt unsure about her watching max. She kept me informed and reassured me that max was in safe hands. We would love to have her watch max again in the future.

Whenever Natalia watches Maya, I always feel completely at ease knowing Maya is in the best hands. Natalia is incredibly responsible and attentive, and her two dogs get along wonderfully with Maya—which is great since Maya is only 7 pounds! Despite her small size, I never worried for a second. Natalia is also wonderfully communicative in the best way possible. She sends frequent updates and lots of adorable photos, which always put my mind at ease and shows just how happy and well-cared-for Maya is while I’m away. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs. Knowing that Maya is not only safe but actually enjoying herself makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found Natalia and will absolutely continue to trust her with Maya in the future!
