“I went on a last-minute trip, and was having trouble finding a place for my dogs to stay at. I found Farva on rover and it was the best decision I ever made to have my dogs stay with her. She is amazing at taking care of your furry ones. I will definitely be going to her again for any of my future trips! Thank you so much, Farva!”
“Marilyn was super responsive over text and sent lots of great updates on our pup! The daily pictures and videos she shared were great as this was our first time boarding our dog. We would definitely book with Marilyn again!”
“From the moment we met Rachel we knew she was a true dog lover! Galileo warmed up to her immediately! Rachel sent pics and updates, and I could tell she kept Galileo busy and he felt at home at her place. I am very picky on who I leave our dog with, and I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you Rachel!”
About: I have been grooming dogs for over 18 years, and boarding clients' pups in my home for 16 years. My 13 yr old homeschooled son and I adore all dogs. We have 2 wonderful medium sized girls (Myla 8, Josie 1.5) who love all dogs and people! My career in grooming means I truly 'speak dog' and understand their quirks and needs. I have extensive experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectible medications, as well as supplements. Our dogs eat a raw diet, so food & water bowls get sterilized after each meal. Since we homeschool, we spend a lot of time at home or close by with friends. My son often has friends over who love to play with dogs. This means we have a great balance of calm & quiet time, as well as active & fun time. Our lovely property has Invisible Fence for about a acre, so any dogs trained on it get to enjoy lots of untethered play time. Every dog who stays gets a temporary ID tag with my address and phone number in case of accidental 'escape' We love couch cuddles, and both of our girls sleep in bed with my son. We also have dog beds everywhere, and crates & gates available when needed.
About: I’ve trained multiple dogs for obedience & hunting, which I’ve dedicated several months to do for each pup. I have a 10 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that’s very well trained and well behaved. I work from home, so I’m here all day unless I go out for something at the store or gym. If gone, I always let the dog roam free and keep the tv on for him. Naturally I play with the pup several times a day. My office is connected to the backyard, so I can throw the ball or play often. I have no issues letting the dog outside whenever they’d like.
“Jonattan was very responsive and kept me updated about the well-being of my dog. Jonattan’s house setting and his friendly and playful dog were a great fit for my dog as well.”
“Jill and her family were terrific with our Benji. All around fantastic experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Will definitely be using their services again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Alessandra! This was my first time using Rover, and she was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Miso. She even offered to do a little meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel comfortable. While I was away, she was so responsive and sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates. Alessandra is warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I felt completely confident that Miso was in good hands the entire time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town!”
“Gulsah was amazing! She took care of our Mango as if he were her own. He had such a wonderful time and looked so happy throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the almost daily photos and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It truly looked like Mango was living his best life for the week! Gulsah will absolutely be our top choice for future sitting, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Mango.”
“Robin always take wonderful care of our dog while we are traveling. She treats our sweet girl like she is part of her family. It's such a great comfort to know our dog is comfortable and happy while we are away.”
“Marie was so wonderful to Madison (!!!!). Although I was far away, they kept me updated with pictures and texts along the way. I appreciate all that Marie does and couldn't ask for a better sitter.”
“Ana took great care of our dog Willow and went above and beyond like she always does, it’s no nice knowing that our dog is safe and well cared for while we are away!”
“I'm so happy I found Angela (khanh) and Tommy before traveling halfway around the globe. After our meet and greet I knew I could relax on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Angela has that motherly instinct for all dogs big and small, and Tommy is an experienced dog groomer. I got picture and video updates everyday, I felt like my dog was at summer camp and she would never want to come home! I know she got lots of love and exercise and she will be coming back again.”
“I needed a sitter last minute and Will came in clutch ! All I have to say is I know who to bring my puppy to whenever I leave town again 100% trust worthy ,certainly took great care of my puppy book will for your dog sitter needs !!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southbury
Leaving my sweet dog Lulu in someone else’s care is never easy, but from the moment we met Julie, I knew she was in the best hands. Julie treated Lulu with such patience, kindness, and respect for her pace and needs—it was clear this was not “just a job,” but genuine care. Lulu was comfortable, calm, and clearly adored. I received thoughtful updates and photos that showed not just that she was safe, but that she was happy. Every detail mattered, from her routine to her quirks, and that level of attentiveness gave me complete peace of mind. Coming home to a relaxed, content Lulu meant everything to me. Finding someone I trust for my fur baby is invaluable, and I am so grateful to have found a sitter who truly understands and honors the bond we have with our pets. I would recommend Julie without hesitation to anyone—especially those who treat their pets like a true family member.
We were SO nervous to leave our dog for the first time with someone but the second we met Tierna for our meet and greet, we instantly felt calm and confident. It was so clear how much she cares about the pets she watches and what great care she was going to take care of our boy. During the stay, she sent tons of fantastic pictures, and did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable and cared for. She even took him on an orientation walk to help him feel comfortable in a new place and ease separation anxiety! We are so grateful we found Tierna and truly could not recommend her more!
Another excellent booking with Tierna. She is amazing with my elderly, crazy, dog-reactive dogs. Also, I can tell that she loves them and appreciates their specialness, which is so nice and comforting when I'm missing them. Her photos and updates are wonderful. She's just excellent. I feel so so good leaving them with her. Thank you so much, Tierna!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
