“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“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!!!!!”
“This was my first time using the app, and I couldn’t be happier with the care Laura provided. She was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my dog’s stay. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Sadie had the best time with Stephanie who kept such good care of her and she didn’t want to leave ! Thank you Stephanie for all of your updates I had such a great trip knowing she was in the best hands!!!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“They were attentive to my dogs needs. They cared for my beagle’s well being. They sent me regular updates of how he was doing and pictures. I do recommend them and will go back again.”
“Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size”
“Jill was amazing! We met before our booking so we could make sure my dog would be comfortable and fit in at their home. She sent me pupdates throughout the weekend and did so many adventures with our dog. I'm so happy to have found her!”

“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”

About: During my childhood, I experienced a significant feline encounter that resulted in a prolonged aversion to cats. However, my perspective shifted profoundly after my adoption by Harry, who introduced me to the remarkable qualities of felines and their unique communication. Harry, who lived with FIV and diabetes, required meticulous care, including pre-meal blood glucose monitoring and precise administration of oral medication and insulin. I am deeply committed to providing your feline companion with the highest standard of care.
About: Hi I’m Colleen! I have worked in childcare for 10 years now. In my free time when I’m not with children, I enjoy spending time looking after and having fun with dogs of my friends and family. I love to keep active and I cannot wait to have a dog of my own! I have experience looking after puppies, staying overnights with dogs (for extended periods of time), dog walking, and drop in visits for dogs and cats. I have just moved back to New England after living in North Carolina for 2 years. At the moment, I work part time. So I am looking to fulfill the extra time in my schedule. For your pets safety, I will have them on a leash at all times when going out for walks, and I will always make sure they are hydrated and fed on time according to schedule. When it comes to dog walking, I am very cautious around pets I do not know. My number one priority is to make sure your pet is in good hands as if it it was my own.
About: I will take care of your best friend with the same love I show my sweet Labrador’s. I will show patience and love with each of your dogs walks and make sure that they get all their business done, plenty of exercise and time for sniffing all the things as well. If I sit over night you will have to specify not to let them on the bed bc I will want to snuggle and make them feel at ease while you are gone. I will send pictures of your pet playing, relaxing and keep you up to date on if he/she used the bathroom and make you feel comfortable while away from your pet because I know it’s not always easy. I will be your best friends, friend.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m beginning medical school in the fall and am looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while my schedule is super flexible this summer! I love taking long walks and would love company from your pup, but I’m also happy to stop by and hang out with your pet in your home if that’s preferred. I’m available to stay overnight in your home if you’re traveling and need longer term help, too. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.
“Rachel went above and beyond when caring for my dogs over the course of two days. She gave thorough updates and lots of pictures and videos. Our pups looked happy as can be while she was visiting! When we came back home, it was like we’d never left. Both dogs were super happy and content. Rachel’s prompt responses, care, and attention meant the world to us.”
“Ly-Linh is a kind, compassionate pet sister. She asked all the right questions during our first meet, having to care for my senior sheltie. My pups were comfortable right away with her patient, calm demeanor.”
About: Past cat owners. Experience in administering meds and some medical care. Responsible and dependable. Let us know what your cat needs to be happy and healthy.
“I had never hired someone to watch my cat before. My newest cat was a rescue and took a long time for her to socialize with humans. I was worried leaving her for 2 days without companionship. We were going to a wedding with all my family and friends. Katherine stepped in and spent time with my cat. Katherine was great communicator, sent texts when she was going to be there and I appreciated the pictures showing the cat eating and playing. Definitely would do this again. So easy and gave me peace of mind. Thanks Katherine!”

“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
“Sarah and Steve took such great care of our puppy! We are so happy that she was in such good hands while we were at work. Sarah is super friendly and nice to work with. She sent updates, photos, and videos, which put us at ease throughout the day. Our pup was excited to see Sarah, and came home very tired at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Sarah and Steve!”
“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”

I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.

About: Hi, I’m Mary-Ellen. With over 25 years of combined personal and professional experience, I provide thoughtful, individualized care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I live in Madison, CT with my teenage daughter (part-time) and my dog Hunter—a sweet, well-socialized red golden retriever who’s used to sharing space with other pups. Dogs in my care become part of our daily rhythm. We take walks through downtown Madison, go for car rides, and run local errands—if that’s something your dog enjoys. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m especially experienced with: • Senior dogs and their mobility or comfort needs • Dogs with social or separation anxiety • Special diets due to allergies or sensitivities • Administering medications (oral and injections) • Creating routines that mirror your home to ease transitions I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone. Whether they’re active or more low-key, I adjust to their pace and preferences. Some dogs need extra attention, others just want quiet companionship—and I’m equally happy to provide both. Thanks for considering me as part of your pet’s extended family. I’d love to learn more about your dog and how I can help provide the care and consistency they deserve. —Mary-Ellen •Home-Based Care: Nurturing a Secure Environment and Prioritizing Pet Safety!• Working from home provides me with the unique advantage of flexibility, enabling me to devote substantial and uninterrupted time to the care of your cherished pets.

If I sit over night you will have to specify not to let them on the bed bc I will want to snuggle and make them feel at ease while you are gone. I will send pictures of your pet playing, relaxing and keep you up to date on if he/she used the bathroom and make you feel comfortable while away from your pet because I know it’s not always easy. I will be your best friends, friend.
About: Hello! I grew up with large dogs and upon moving out from my home have had dogs, fish, and cats ever since. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, and cats for over 20 years. I currently have three incredibly friendly and easy going dogs, including a remarkable Labrador retriever pup. I am currently retiring from a career in federal law enforcement. I am available most days and nights for your pets care. I understand the importance of pet diets, exercise, and socialization and make it a priority. My home is my pets home. We have a large 1.5 acre invisible fenced in yard surrounded by woods and a long front yard away from the road. The other dogs tend to stick together and my lab puppy learned the yard by just following around our German shorthaired pointer and older mastiff. Any other questions just ask!
About: Hi, my name is Halle, I am an 24 year-old English teacher and an experienced pet-owner who loves dogs. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have plenty of experience taking care of my own dogs as well as many others. I am very used to doing drop-ins, dog-walking, and providing dog care in my own home with about five years professional experience now. I love dogs and have spent my entire life around them so I know how to handle them in different situations. I am available virtually anytime on the weekdays during the summer and anytime on the weekends, depending on my other work schedule. I have experience training puppies so I know how energetic they can be! Hopefully I can provide you and your beloved pets with whatever services necessary. Thank you! I am working part-time at the moment so my schedule is very flexible and I can be around to take great care of your dog whenever! I have a very friendly and energetic young dog who loves to sprint at the beach and throw the ball in the backyard. I would love to provide the same level of activity for your pup and if boarding, there’s plenty of room in my home to separate my dog if yours prefers to be the only pet.
“Brenda was fabulous - we highly recommend her! Not only did she entertain and walk our dog; but she was able to give her a bath and groom her beautifully. Brenda was on time, responsive, kind and friendly! Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“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!!!!!”
“This was my first time using the app, and I couldn’t be happier with the care Laura provided. She was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my dog’s stay. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”

“Bianka and her family opened up their house to our little Max for 2 nights and we were updated the whole time. She followed our routine and Max was a happy boy when we got him. Thank you!”

“Bruce was great! He provided regular updates each day and sent tons of pictures so I was able to see the dogs while I was away. The drop off was easy and he was extremely responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely recommend him to others and would use him to watch my girls again in the future.”
“It was my first time using Rover and leaving our precious fur baby with anyone. Yajaira was great from the meet and greet to the day of pick up . She answered all my questions, send pics during my pup’s boarding time and had him ready to go at pick up ! Definitely a 5 star ! We will be using her again !”
