“Britanny took such wonderful care of our 6‑month‑old Labrador, Forest. She was patient, attentive, and clearly treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup — the best sign of all. Her communication throughout the stay gave us real peace of mind, and it was obvious Forest felt safe and loved with her. Thank you, Brittany, for your exceptional care. We’d happily book with you again.”
“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!”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“Laura did a fantastic job with our 8-month-old Great Dane, who was anxious about being left alone. She provided plenty of updates and reassurance while taking excellent care of our pup!”
“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.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Stephanie takes excellent care of our dog while we are away. Prior to him staying with her, she met him twice to get to know him and see if he would be a good fit with her dogs. She keeps in regular contact while we are gone and sends lots of photos! Our dog seems very happy with Stephanie and gets lots of walks! Definitely recommend Stephanie!”
“This was our first time using Bruce and we had a positive experience. Bruce sent updates every hour and it was great to see our pup Maximus having a great time. Bruce took Maximus out every 2 hours for potty breaks and we appreciate it! Thank you again, can’t wait to book soon.”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“I highly recommend Gaileen! I had never left my senior dog with anyone other than family before and Gaileen was great at making my dog comfortable and sending me updates! She has been professional, reliable, and caring. My dog is looking forward to more overnights with her! 😊”
“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!”
“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“I am so lucky to have found Jill. She was able to accomodate my needs for a sitter at the last minute and was the perfect match for my dog. He instantly bonded with her son and loved being with the both of them. He was completely taken care of by her and her son for the week and had a great time. Her home is immaculate as well as low key and her fenced in yard was a bonus. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future! :-)”
“Our 5 month old Shepherd stayed with Mark and his family for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. We felt completely comfortable with her there and were able to fully relax on our vacation. Our pup came home happy as can be and tired from a week of playing with her new best friend Reggie. Mark was quick to answer all texts and was very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet, drop off, and pick up times.”
“Carolina was amazing with Mucci!! She communicated well, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.”

“We could not be happier with Kacie! She took care of our Maine Coon for a little over a week and did a phenomenal job. We felt completely at ease knowing our guy was being so well taken care of! And from the looks of things, he was a very happy camper as well! Kacie is responsible, kind, compassionate, caring and extremely attentive. Not to mention, incredibly flexible also. We would highly recommend Kacie for your pet’s needs and will also most definitely be using Kacie again for ours!!”
“Vinny is a great sitter! We were away for an extended period of time and he spent extra time with our cat than was expected. He was attentive to our cat’s needs and gave us detailed updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a sitter and will be booking him again.”

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.

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.
“A picture is worth a thousand words! The photos Ly-Linh sent showed my dogs being their goofy selves. My senior dog who tends to be shy made a friend. Ly-Linh made sure he received all his meds, inhaler included. Ly-Linh was professional, communicated promptly and regularly, and loving! ❤️ We could enjoy our trip without worry!”
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.
“Rachel always treats our dogs like family. We never worry when she’s caring for them! We always receive detailed updates and lots of photos showing our pups happy and enjoying their time. It means the world to us to know they are safe in her care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last ten years. I had Libra and Shadow who were both pit Bulls. I now help my partners take care of their dogs Noel and Benji. I work Tuesday thru Friday so I’m mostly available during the weekends as well as Monday, but I’m more than able to work something out depending on the emergency. I live in a very safe area in Madison. We have all the necessary tools to create a safe and loving environment for your fur babies.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Madison
“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 met a gentleman in Renana's driveway who was picking up his dog. He said Renana's was the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH and he is not exagerating. Sadie loves Renana and her pack.

“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin.

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: I love taking care of animals and providing them with love and comfort. I can walk animals, stay overnight with them, or even just stop in to feed and play with them. I think Rover is a great site because I loved having a dog sitter for my dog. She really enjoyed being able to get out of the house when my family and I was gone during the day. I think animals are like children and they deserve great care too. I love to hike, cuddle, run, walk, and just relax! I am very open and flexible. I can work around many schedules and I do not mind staying at other peoples homes if it keeps the pup the most comfortable. I have been caring for dogs and children for many years! I have flexibility and make my own schedule during the week! I also work and drive throughout most of CT and can be available. I’m always in the area. I am calm yet trained when it comes to how to handle dogs in different situations. I take the responsibility seriously and listen to all of the owners requests.

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: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last ten years. I had Libra and Shadow who were both pit Bulls. I now help my partners take care of their dogs Noel and Benji. I work Tuesday thru Friday so I’m mostly available during the weekends as well as Monday, but I’m more than able to work something out depending on the emergency. I live in a very safe area in Madison. We have all the necessary tools to create a safe and loving environment for your fur babies.
About: I have had all sorts of pets since I was a kid from bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own. She is a sharp-eagle. She is about 2 years old and loves all dogs. I would love to bring her along with me to go on walks etc at your approval. I am currently a nanny part time and a part time student at SCSU. I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friend on the weekends. I care for your pets in your home and will follow any directions for caring for your furry friend. Whether its feeding and or playing or walking I am there to care for your pet in the time of need.

“Britanny took such wonderful care of our 6‑month‑old Labrador, Forest. She was patient, attentive, and clearly treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup — the best sign of all. Her communication throughout the stay gave us real peace of mind, and it was obvious Forest felt safe and loved with her. Thank you, Brittany, for your exceptional care. We’d happily book with you again.”
“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!”

About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”

“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!”
“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“I am so lucky to have found Jill. She was able to accomodate my needs for a sitter at the last minute and was the perfect match for my dog. He instantly bonded with her son and loved being with the both of them. He was completely taken care of by her and her son for the week and had a great time. Her home is immaculate as well as low key and her fenced in yard was a bonus. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future! :-)”
“Our 5 month old Shepherd stayed with Mark and his family for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. We felt completely comfortable with her there and were able to fully relax on our vacation. Our pup came home happy as can be and tired from a week of playing with her new best friend Reggie. Mark was quick to answer all texts and was very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet, drop off, and pick up times.”
“Carolina was amazing with Mucci!! She communicated well, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”

“My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.”
“So happy- we received lots of pictures of our girl while we were away. Thomas & Erica are very attentive & quick to respond. We can’t wait to use them again! Georgann”
“Maggie had a great time staying with Shannon and her family! She had a great time and came home exhausted from all the playtime she got with the other pups. We'll definitely have Maggie stay here when we go out of town again!”
