“Ariel was great. Her home offered everything we were looking for. Place to play or lay around, and where she could lay wherever she was comfortable. Communication was easy and Ariel sent photos regularly so I could see how my girl was doing.Overall a very pleasant experience.”
“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.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Stephanie became a second mom to our Charlie. She gave him so much love and helped him acclimate very quickly and he felt comfortable right away. She was always quickly available to us and sent us multiple photos a day. I would more than highly recommend her as your future fur babies sitter. Thank you again Stephanie.”
“This was my first time boarding my dogs and using rover. I have read so many potential candidates profiles and other reviews and Marianas stuck out to me. She had my two dogs for 9 days and every day I had updates and photos and videos. Even with travel complications and extending their stay for one more night was no issue at all. I think my dogs had the times of their lives staying with Mariana. I’m so happy to have found her and know that during any future trips my babies are going to be cared for.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
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.
“I left my dogs with Mark and his family for an extended stay. We went for a meet and greet and he and his wife put me at ease at once. They are very pleasant and it is obvious that they love dogs. He sent updates so that I could see that they were well. Mark was very accommodating when we hit a lot of traffic on the way home and came much later than I had intended.”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Harley’s first vacation with Bruce. She did very well during her stay. Bruce is very attentive and loving. He communicates often making us feel at ease while we were away. I highly recommend him ❤️”
“We booked last minute with Brianna and we are so glad we did! She was kind and professional from the start. I appreciated how quick and clear of a communicator she was. From the photos she shared with us, it was evident that Loki, our husky, was having a great time and being well cared for. He came home happy and healthy. With Brianna’s genuine love for dogs and experience she has caring for them - I felt at ease when she watched our dog for two weeks. We would definitely book again. Thank you Bri!”
“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.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

“Vincent was a very attentive sitter and took great care of our cats. One of our cats got sick while we were away. He was in close contact with us regarding his condition and also reached out to our vet to get their advice. I can highly recommend him as someone who can be trusted to look after your pets as he would his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him as a sitter again.”
“Kacie has been the most amazing sitter for our Roo. We haven’t left Roo this long and she provided us with so much communication for our kitty. We will definitely book Kacie again. She’s amazing!!!!!!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“This is my second time asking Paris to care for Zane and again Paris was terrific! I was away for 10 days and Paris took great care of Zane! I loved getting her updates from each visit and the wonderful pictures. I don’t worry about Zane when I’m away because Paris takes such good care of him.”

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 caring for pets since I was 20 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their beloved pets. Growing up, I had a poodle and gained experience caring for a variety of other animals, including fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand and respond to the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would give my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive, and I'll make sure your pet receives excellent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Right now I am available anytime and on the weekends. In September I will be available on Monday Tuesday morning before 10 and after one; Wednesdays all day; Thursday in the morning before 10 and after one; and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day. I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.
“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.”
“I can't thank Monica enough for taking such great care of my pups! Gunner is very timid around strangers, and was on her lap by the 3rd drop-in today. I highly recommend Monica, and we'll certainly use her again.”

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: 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.

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.

Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”
“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.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including my previous dog, an 80-pound Golden Retriever. She could be reactive toward other dogs while on leash, so I became very comfortable handling strong dogs, staying calm in challenging situations, and maintaining control even when she was pulling. In addition to caring for my previous dog, I have regularly looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs by walking, feeding, and ensuring they were well cared for while their owners were away. In my personal life I love going on long runs up to 6 miles so if you have a higher energy dog that would like to join me I would love to take them with me! I am currently a university student, and I have off of school until the spring semester begins in February. I am free most weekends, and weekdays Monday-Friday. I am comfortable your dog or dogs in any environment. I have taken care of dogs that used special harness’ or prong collars so I know how to work those if needed.

I live in a townhouse and can do walks and am always open to an at home visit if needed! I’m very accommodating to all forms of help! (Needs updating)
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: Animals are a man’s best friend and I strongly believe in this proverb. I have volunteered multiple years for different shelters and agencies primarily with Dog Days; loving, caring and giving much vital attention to dogs in need. Fostering dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences that may not pay in cash but the endless amount of love and the fulfilling feeling that leaves a mark on your heart making a dog feel loved and safe is priceless. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in adopting a dog or becoming a dog owner to foster. I have helped nurtured dogs with behavior issues, training, and socializing, and I have also pet sat for creatures of all sizes from fish to horse. I have given medication to multiple animals and I am large animal rescued certified. I care for many of our special needs pets with ease because my kindness, patience and attention creates a bond that has pets loving me immediately. I am caring and compassionate to all of the pets in my care.
About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.
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.

“Buddy had so much fun staying with britanny and her lovely family. He was actually sad when he came home 🤣 . We were kept updated with pictures and how he is doing throughout the stay . As others mentioned, he had a great vacation while we were away! Highly recommend and we will be back for sure!”
“Ariel was great. Her home offered everything we were looking for. Place to play or lay around, and where she could lay wherever she was comfortable. Communication was easy and Ariel sent photos regularly so I could see how my girl was doing.Overall a very pleasant experience.”
“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.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“This was my first time boarding my dogs and using rover. I have read so many potential candidates profiles and other reviews and Marianas stuck out to me. She had my two dogs for 9 days and every day I had updates and photos and videos. Even with travel complications and extending their stay for one more night was no issue at all. I think my dogs had the times of their lives staying with Mariana. I’m so happy to have found her and know that during any future trips my babies are going to be cared for.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
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.
“I left my dogs with Mark and his family for an extended stay. We went for a meet and greet and he and his wife put me at ease at once. They are very pleasant and it is obvious that they love dogs. He sent updates so that I could see that they were well. Mark was very accommodating when we hit a lot of traffic on the way home and came much later than I had intended.”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Harley’s first vacation with Bruce. She did very well during her stay. Bruce is very attentive and loving. He communicates often making us feel at ease while we were away. I highly recommend him ❤️”
“We booked last minute with Brianna and we are so glad we did! She was kind and professional from the start. I appreciated how quick and clear of a communicator she was. From the photos she shared with us, it was evident that Loki, our husky, was having a great time and being well cared for. He came home happy and healthy. With Brianna’s genuine love for dogs and experience she has caring for them - I felt at ease when she watched our dog for two weeks. We would definitely book again. Thank you Bri!”
“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.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover for our 2 golden retrievers. So glad that we found Tom & Erica. We received daily pictures and messages about how they were settling in. They were very understanding with our departure date changing 2 times due to the blizzard. Our 2 boys seemed very happy there and are booked already for the near future.”
“Julius and family took good care of our dog. Julius is super-responsive and sent several cute pictures of the visit. It looked like everyone got along well and were very active. Our dog came home exhausted, which is a good thing. We also needed to adjust the end time a little bit, and Julius was very accommodating of the last minute change.”
“This was Luna's first time being away from us and I was so afraid with how she might be with someone new and away from her family. To my surprise she did fantastic with Lauren and had alot of fun! I received many pictures of Luna throughout her time away and little updates. She socialized with other pups, smelled amazing since she was bathed before she came home, and I can tell she was comfortable because when I got there she wiggled her little rump and was so excited to see me but she also would go back to Lauren to say goodbye. It was the sweetest thing. Thank you again, Luna will definitely be back!”
