“Kristin was wonderful! She provided many updates while we were away so we could see how our pup was doing. It seemed like she was comfortable and had a great time visiting Kristin and her family! We will definitely book with Kristin again!”


“Kristin was absolutely amazing! As a first-time pet owner, I was nervous about leaving my 6-month-old puppy for three weeks, just two months after adopting her. Kristin went above and beyond, providing not only shelter, food, and affection but also invaluable training. She ensured my dog got plenty of exercise and even introduced her to swimming! Kristin sent daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me constantly informed. When I picked her up, Kristin gave me a detailed report on everything—from her food intake (with tips on avoiding digestive issues) to her training progress. She even provided advice on making frozen treats and other ways to support her health. As a new pet owner, I was incredibly grateful for this guidance. This wasn’t just pet-sitting; it felt like a boarding school for dogs! Kristin, along with Mark and sweet Kaia, created an incredible experience for my dog. I can’t recommend her enough—she is the most knowledgeable, caring, and well-rounded dog sitter you could ever ask for.”


“Pat and Susan are the best sitters in Ellington. They watch my dog for 2weeks and send me pictures and updates every day we were gone. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs to have their pets watched while they are away. Thank You Pat and Susan”


“So excited to have found Allison Nicole. Sophie came back so happy from her stay. Allison provided photos and texts consistently while we were away, alleviating any fears we may have had as this is the first time we’ve hired her. Communication in the scheduling was great too. Pricing is competitive in the area. Would totally go back and absolutely recommend.”


“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”


“Lily loved her stay with Andrea and Kurt! We are so thankful to have such peace of mind, knowing she is well taken care of and happy to be there. The fenced in yard is fantastic, Andreas dogs Hazel and Penny are now Lily’s pet friends! My husband Dave and I are retired and looking forward to being able to travel. It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing we have a family with a loving home to care for Lily. Andrea is exceptional at sending photos through out the stay, it is very reassuring to see”

“Katie and her family were AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter and they couldn’t have taken better care of our girl. We got multiple updates and lots of pictures which put us at ease. Katie’s girls were super cute with Bear and she enjoyed all of the extra pets and attention. We’d 100% recommend Katie to anyone and look forward to having her watch Bear again in the future.”


“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”


“Biscuit thoroughly enjoyed his visit with Shanagay. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates to let us see how much fun he was having. Biscuit romped and played with Shanagay's little dog Cash and the pics were adorable! We'll definitely call on Shanagay's dog sitting services for Biscuit again and again! Thanks so much for doing such a great job.”


“Absolutely perfect at every turn. Francis was great with our Goldendoodle. She sent pictures and looked after her with great care. We can’t recommend her enough. The home was perfect for dogs with a fenced in backyard and comfortable places for her to sit/sleep/relax.”


“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”


“Sunny had a wonderful week with Sabrina and her family in their beautiful home. She loved the large fenced in backyard and playing with Luna. It’s always hard to leave our fur baby behind when we travel, but Sabrina put us at ease. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Sunny!”



“Steve and Deb are our go to sitters for Max and have been for 10 years. He is part of their family when he is in their care. We are at peace and can enjoy our time away because of the love and attention Max receives. Steve and Deb are kind, caring, reliable and we trust them without hesitation when caring for Max. They are simply put good people. We highly recommend their services. We are blessed to have them take care of Max.”


“I needed a last minute boarding for my dog Enzo, as my family and I were going out of town. I found sandra on rover and she was available. We met the morning we drop of our dog Enzo. Sandra’s pleasant personality and lovely home gave me a sense of comfort and that my dog Enzo was gonna be good taken care of. she took really good care of Enzo, sent me pictures and video and I knew Enzo was confortable and happy . I really recommend Sandra and will use her service again for future boarding. Thank you so much Sandra ,”


“Mary, along with her husband, took great care of our two dogs over Memorial Day Weekend. She not only provided the care and boarding as requested, but she went above and beyond from what we asked. On my drive home I realized I had forgotten their food and water bowls. Not a problem, Mary informed me she had extra and that I didn’t need to worry or come back with them. I had informed Mary that walks weren’t needed as I have one dog who doesn’t like other dogs and another dog who is leash reactive out of excitement when he sees other dogs. To avoid stress, I usually let sitters know that walks aren’t necessary during their stay. Mary was able to take our dogs for walks without issue! She didn’t hesitate to do so, even if they could be a little challenging. Mary made sure they took their different medications with their food. She also provided nightly updates along with a few pictures. Lastly, during their stay, one of our dogs had stomach issues, most likely due to a new medicine from the vet. Mary was on top of things with communication and recommendations of action. She was very informative and detailed about it. She even offered to possibly take our dog to vet services if needed. Our dog has a sensitive stomach and we didn’t realize the medication could be an issue for her (when we dropped her off, she had only been taking it for a couple days). We really appreciated her being forward with what was happening and being very patient and kind with us because we felt so bad that happened during our dog’s stay.”


“Was very attentive made my dog and I feel very comfortable..I was nervous at first but she assured me all will be well..and it was .I'm looking forward to booking again”


“This was William's second time staying at Aishea's and I'm glad to hear that he was more relaxed and interactive with her pets. She genuinely seems to care about my pet's wellbeing. She responds very quickly to requests and messages and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely book with Aishea again.”


“Suzanne was great with communication throughout the entire process. She sent us daily updates with photos or video. I would definitely use her again! Abel seemed very happy at pick up!”
