“Gabby was fantastic while she watched my dog when I were out of town. Don’t hesitate to book her for your pet care needs while you’re away, it’ll be stress-free booking with her, knowing your pets are well cared for.”
“Hailey is the person you want your pets to see while you’re away. My boys immediately took to her and were happy to see her stop by. Hailey has such a warm and calming presence that made them both comfortable. I appreciated her communication with me to let me know how the visit was going as well as the videos and photos she sent over. This would have been a 10 star rating if this app had that option :)”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

She was respectful, responsible, and great with our dogs and house. We look forward to working with her again and would recommend!”

Southington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!
McKenzie was fantastic while I was away on vacation, taking great care of my two cats and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly gave each pet the attention they needed. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and total peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!
