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.”

“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
About: I have owned multiple dogs for the past six years, all with varying energy levels and needs. I currently have a jack russell mix, a terrier mix, and a boxer/rhodesian ridgeback mix. I am comfortable caring for all different shapes and sizes and catering to each individual personality. I currently own my own business as a professional house cleaner and may at times be away for 6-8 hours during the day. Other than that, I am available to spend lots of quality time with your pet. Safety and keeping your pet comfortable is my highest priority. Pets will be supervised when outside and always kept on leash on walks or if no fenced yard is available. I also prefer to keep with their normal schedule as much as possible, including feeding, rest time, exercise, etc.
“Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Ansley was a pleasure to work with. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and kind. Ansley kept us posted with updates and pictures and was accomodating to our requests. Highly recommend Ansley and will rebook with her for future trips!”
“Kristen & her pup, Stella were welcoming & kind to our elderly Westie. We had a lovely meet & greet, Kristen was an exceptionally responsive, clear communicator & sent us pictures of & updates about our dog’s stay. Thank you, Kristen!”
“Wonderful, caring, considerate, and responsible family boarded our two pomskies. Responsive and communicative - sent pictures and updates. Dogs got walked and played with. Medicine was successfully administered. Generous and flexible- dogs were able to stay a few extra days to accommodate some changes in our plans. Dogs were well taken care of, would definitely book with Matt B again.”

“Tina and her family were AMAZING sitters for my two pups for 6 nights! She was kind and helpful from start to finish. She was communicative and shared sweet photos and videos while we were away that put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away even more. I highly recommend Tina and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”

“Makaila was absolutely amazing with our cats. Our boy clearly loved her, and we were never worried about them during our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. We will definitely book Makaila again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Kirsten was fantastic, she did a pre-visit check beforehand and visited our cat early each morning. She sent updates and photos, and let our cat outside to play, just like she’s used to. We would recommend Kirsten and would definitely book her again.”
“Libby was so wonderful with watching our cat Carla! She checked in and sent picture updates while we were away. We felt so comfortable knowing Carla had Libby while we were away! Thank you Libby!”
“We booked Brianna last minute before our 10 day vacation and she was absolutely wonderful. She even took the time out of her day to come meet our cat and see our house before we left. She spent almost double the time with our cat the first few days to just get to know him and make sure he was comfortable with him. Throughout our trip she sent photos and little reports everytime she stopped by. I would definitely recommend using Brianna and we will 100% be using her again!”
“I have booked Melissa a few times over the last few years and she is amazing! She always goes above and beyond for my fur babies and me! She is truly a gem and 5 stars isn’t enough!”

“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”
“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”
About: Hi. My name is Bree, I'm an independent journalist working and living in Mystic, CT. I love gardening, hiking, reading, and being outdoors. I have a Golden Mountain Dog and a young child so dogs need to be kid and dog friendly. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. As I'm self-employed and work from home, my work day is very flexible. I try my best to stick to your pet’s routine and happy to accommodate their schedule. I have a fairly large fenced in yard in downtown Mystic and I would love to have your dog with me at my house. My dog is very friendly and would love to play with your dog. If you have any questions please reach out.
“Adam and Jennifer were wonderful! They were flexible and responsive, kept me updated with a sweet picture and message, and most importantly, took such great care of my senior boy. It gave me real peace of mind while we were at a family gathering nearby. Highly recommend!”
About: Born and raised in a family of passionate pet sitters, I've honed my skills in dog sitting from an early age. With a background of caring for Newfoundlands, cats, and my own furry friend, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting assignment. From leisurely strolls to cozy cuddle sessions, I prioritize the happiness and well-being of every dog in my care. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer when I’m off from teaching and available full-time for pet care. During the school year, I’m available mornings, midafternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent care whenever needed. As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for the animals in my care. I ensure they receive personalized attention and follow any specific instructions provided by the client regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any other special needs. I maintain open communication with the client, providing regular updates and photos to offer peace of mind while they're away. Additionally, I'm attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, respecting the client's space as if it were my own.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by and caring for all kind of animals (even monkeys). Family, friends, colleagues, and strangers, have relied on me to care for their dogs, cats, and more for years; Knowing that I will love their pets like I love my own, my clients have confidence and trust when booking with me! As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention. I intentionally only accept one additional dog at a time so each pet receives plenty of supervision and individualized care I have one dog, Ollie, that loves to play and keep every guest company. I am in a two story duplex with a small unfenced yard, but have an outdoor lead for potty breaks and plenty of areas for walking in my neighborhood. If necessary, for separation/calm down time, I have a baby gate available that can break up my kitchen and living room and I also have a spare room upstairs. There will be no instances where our pets are left alone unmonitored for the safety of both parties.
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have extensive experience caring for pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that means caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine, where I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always prioritize communication and will keep you updated for complete peace of mind! I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with pet care throughout the day. I’m able to take dogs out frequently, provide attention, and fit in short walks as needed. In my home, dogs have access to a safe, fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of attention, play, and comfort indoors. I stick closely to each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I’m equally attentive and respectful, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routine and providing consistent care, affection, and updates.
“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”
“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”
“I came into the area for the day and Elizabeth was so wonderful to watch my dog Daisy. She has such a lovely home and family. I would absolutely 💯% recommend Elizabeth. Daisy had a great day in her care!”
About: I’ve had my own cats and dogs for about 30+ years and have even fostered dogs in GA, in the past. I have always had larger breed dogs, and currently have my cane corso, Stella, whom I’ve trained entirely myself. I had a bull mastiff, Grunt, from the time my brother passed away in 2015, until Grunt went to heaven to join him again in June of 2023. And even before Grunt, I had another cane corso, Roxy, and before her were mostly pitties. It’s very easy for me to be an amazing pack leader as I am a natural born leader and fall into the roll with ease. I believe in finding a way to communicate with our animals by paying close attention to their queues that they give. And when I say that I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t love, I mean it! Spending my time with them, is something I consider a blessing and an honor, and I truly treat every one like they are my own. I have owned a cleaning company for the last 5 years and I have had a few clients ask me to care for their pets. I decided that since my favorite part of some of my cleaning jobs was playing with people’s pets, that I’d rather transition to doing that full time instead! I can’t physically clean houses forever, but I’ll always be able to love on pets! My schedule is extremely flexible because I have and run my own business At my home, I have a very large, fenced in, yard with camera coverage both inside and outdoors. And as I’ve had my cleaning business for over 5 years, I have lots of people who trust me with their homes and their pets. Many clients have told me just how good it makes them feel knowing that they can truly, trust, and rely on me. I treat every job as tho it’s my own home or pet, and I’m great under pressure. If something happens, I am a problem solver.
About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I work part time and very flexible. Off sat-Monday and during the week I’m off at two! I walk my dog everyday after work and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard
About: I believe that with age comes wisdom, patience, and experience that simply can’t be taught. I am lucky enough to have reached the age where I have gained said wisdom, patience, and experience that only age can bestow upon us! For this reason, in addition to my 30 years of experience caring for dogs is what I believe separates me from other pet sitters. I have over 30 years of experience caring for both large and small dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Over the years, I’ve developed not only strong, reliable caregiving skills but also a deep and genuine love for dogs. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that dogs are not “one size fits all.” Every dog has a unique personality, temperament, energy level, and set of needs. Some thrive on long walks and endless games of fetch, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddle time. I take the time to learn each dog’s routines, preferences, and comfort zones so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel secure and loved. Our family recently lost our beloved Chiweenie, Bailey, at 14 years old. She was truly part of our family, and caring for her through every stage of her life only deepened my understanding of the changing needs dogs have as they age. While we don’t currently have a dog, we are looking forward to welcoming the next fur baby into both our hearts and our home. My posted rates are all “starting at” rates. Once I meet a prospective family and learn more about their dog’s specific needs, we can always discuss and adjust rates accordingly. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing individualized, compassionate care for every dog entrusted to me. New Clients Use My Code For $20 Off of Your First Service! https://www.rover.com/sit/katiel73869 I care for your pet(s) the way I cared for my own pet; with love, careful attention, (not only for signs of what s/he may need, but also to help build a bond with your fur baby, and for safety), and respect. Your dog is welcome both on my couch and in my bed. If this is something that is against the rules in your home, please let me know so that I’m not unknowingly breaking your rules! The best way to explain how I will treat your dog is, “I will treat your dog(s) like I would treat my own,” or “I will treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat my dog!”

“Libby is the best! She took my dog Wilfred on some great walks and was very responsible and kind. I appreciate that she also looked out to make sure Wilfred didn’t have any ticks on him after the walks as we live near the woods. Thank you, Libby!”
About: I have extensive experience pet sitting for dogs (all ages), cats, rabbits, chickens and other birds, small mammals, and farm animals, including animals with special medical needs. I also have experiencw with exotic pets. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I have been a volunteer for both an animal shelter and a local animal rescue league chapter, as well as at many events that benefit animals, and have had pets of my own since childhood. I currently live with a wonderful, sweet, sassy 7 year old female Corgi. I owned 2 wonderful Siberian Huskies who lived to be seniors, and in the course, required regular medications, special diet, physical therapy exercises, assisted walking, and wound cleaning, so I am very familiar with dealing with health issues, and am able to recognize when an animal is in any distress. As I believe emotional well-being is just as important as physical, I will always spend time with your pet, or exercise him/her with his/her favorite toy or game. If your pet is in training, I would be happy to reinforce what he/she is learning. Caring for animals is not just what I do, it's who I am! I look forward to hearing from you! Please feel free to check out my Facebook page under Pawsibilities Pet Services for reviews! Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am basically at your disposal when it comes to your pets! You will find me very flexible! I am in a pet friendly community with ample safe places to walk. If you prefer your pet crated while I am not present I am happy to do so. I will try to keep a routine, as pets thrive on that.

“Makaila has been such a blessing to work with. During our meet and great we were able to see the connection she has with our Jaxie boy and we know he's in good hands when we have to work our long hours at work. She has gone above and beyond what we have expected from her services. Thank you Makaila for walking and loving on our baby ?♥️”
“I found Danielle to be adaptable, flexible, communicative, open, reliable, trustworthy, dependable. She did exactly what she said she was going to do and more. She was available last minute to come watch/walk my dogs twice a day every day for seven days. She did not miss one day. She was here at the same time every day by 3:30 p.m.and again by 8. p.m. she used the Rover app extensively, I knew through Rover when she left the house when she was on her walk and when she returns the house. She sent pictures of the dogs. And she even fed the cats for me because I needed to have the cats occupied while she left the house so they wouldn’t try to slip out. I have three indoor cats. She went over and above my expectations. I am so so thankful the couple that I had planned to watch my dogs canceled on me 36 hours before my flight out. I needed someone desperately and three people were available. I chose Danielle because of her self reported review, and when she came to the house, her demeanor, confidence, ability to deal with the barking dogs and excitability of one of my dogs showed me that she could handle just about anything. I will be traveling again soon. Danielle will be my go to. Even if I have to leave the house for an entire day, I will be using Rover to schedule with Danielle she’s the best. So so so thankful that the first couple ditched me because I would never ever have met such a capable person like Danielle. There wasn’t a moment that I worried about my animals. Nor my house. She is so flexible that she had no problem canceling the last day due to my flight being on time, and me returning to the home an hour before her scheduled dog walk. She’s wonderful. My only problem with Danielle is I’m afraid she’ll be so busy after people read my review that she won’t have time to squeeze me into her schedule. She’s a keeper for sure.”
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing a truly elevated standard of care. I approach every pet with a tailored, detail-oriented mindset—taking the time to understand their routines, preferences, and personality so their experience feels seamless and stress-free. I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and consistency, ensuring you’re always informed and confident while you’re away. Beyond basic care, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet feels secure and genuinely cared for. My goal is not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them with professionalism, trust, and a high level of personal attention. Pet care is a natural part of our daily and weekly routine because my partner and I work together as a team to provide consistent, attentive care for every animal we look after. We structure our schedules so that one of us is always available, which allows for flexibility and ensures pets get the time, attention, and exercise they need. On a daily basis, we prioritize walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet’s specific needs and routines are followed closely. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening care, we divide responsibilities in a way that keeps everything running smoothly and stress-free for the pets. Throughout the week, we also plan for longer walks, park visits, or extra enrichment activities depending on the pet’s energy level and personality. Because there are two of us, we’re able to provide extra reliability, backup coverage, and more personalized attention. Caring for animals isn’t something we squeeze into our schedule—it’s a central part of our routine and something we genuinely enjoy building our days around. My partner and I work together to provide attentive and reliable care in our clients’ homes, always focusing on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their environment. In a client’s home, we make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel secure and experience as little disruption as possible. We also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates, and make sure pets get plenty of affection and attention while their owners are away. Because there are two of us, in the times both of us are present, we’re able to offer extra flexibility, consistent supervision, and dependable backup. This team approach allows us to give each pet personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention.

About: Frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. Growing up my mom had close to 10 pets at any given time sometimes more. My current apartment doesn’t let me have any pets myself, so I would love to spend time with yours! I work full time from home which gives me flexibility. I’m available both before and after work on weekdays and can assist during the day as well if needed. Any time on weekends works when I’m around! I love play time with all pets! I enjoy being outside so it makes going for walks or playing in your yard easy for me.

About: Hello, my name is Dominique! I have loved animals since childhood. I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, birds and other animals. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility and the ability to care for all living creatures. Your pet's needs, safety, health and happiness are my number 1 priority! I will insure to meet all guidelines for your fur babies implementing any training strategies you use or dietary restrictions and I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I enjoy long walks and playing fetch, or snuggling on the couch - anything that will keep your pup smiling and comfortable! I own a spacious home with a moderate sized fenced in yard that I'd love to share with your pet(s). I feel very passionate about animals and look forward to making fur friends with your pup! I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have! Thank you for your consideration! I am a proud dog and cat mom. My cat is 5 years old and living her best life and I recently adopted my almost 2 year old dog who has been such a blessing in my life. My favorite moment was getting him off of the "P.E.T.S" transportation knowing this would be his last travel to his forever home. I am so lucky to have found him! He is extremely friendly and loves everyone he meets, humans and other animals! He would love to play with your dogs too if that's something you'd like. Either way, we'll look forward to loving on your fur babies!
About: I have many different experiences with animal care, including internships at a vet clinic and animal shelters. I also have volunteered at a bird sanctuary and care for my own animals on a daily basis (parrot and rabbit). I help to care for animals daily at my house (parrot and rabbit). I am a grad student at UConn so before/after classes and research each weekday, I’m able to provide care to any animal that needs me! I will follow any and all directions to the best of my ability as well as provide the animals with as much comfort and companionship I can. I’m also able to administer medications if needed, as long as I’m shown or told so beforehand. If I’m in a home, I’ll provide care in a timely manner and will keep interruptions to a minimum during a visit or stay.

Have a high energy dog that needs a little extra enrichment? No problem! I love to hike and can offer basic training as well! My animals are my life, so let me take care of yours like they're my own! I currently work full time in pet care services! I offer around the clock care for pets and their owners! I love what I do and have never been happier! I don’t offer in my home services due to one of my dogs being selective of others. In your home we could spend the day in many ways. Playtime, snuggles, walks or hikes. Let me know what you prefer I am happy to accommodate most requests! I also have a vast inventory of enrichment toys that I can utilize for any pet!

“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.”
“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
About: I have owned multiple dogs for the past six years, all with varying energy levels and needs. I currently have a jack russell mix, a terrier mix, and a boxer/rhodesian ridgeback mix. I am comfortable caring for all different shapes and sizes and catering to each individual personality. I currently own my own business as a professional house cleaner and may at times be away for 6-8 hours during the day. Other than that, I am available to spend lots of quality time with your pet. Safety and keeping your pet comfortable is my highest priority. Pets will be supervised when outside and always kept on leash on walks or if no fenced yard is available. I also prefer to keep with their normal schedule as much as possible, including feeding, rest time, exercise, etc.
“Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Ansley was a pleasure to work with. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and kind. Ansley kept us posted with updates and pictures and was accomodating to our requests. Highly recommend Ansley and will rebook with her for future trips!”

“Tina and her family were AMAZING sitters for my two pups for 6 nights! She was kind and helpful from start to finish. She was communicative and shared sweet photos and videos while we were away that put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away even more. I highly recommend Tina and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and I HIGHLY recommend Shannon for overnight weekend stay. She treats my pup as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My pup adores her whole family and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care are extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my pup is well cared for is priceless. I was surprised that her scheduling system is easy to use and she provided very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates pictures of his stay. We will reach out to her for more day sitting to help Leo learn to interact more with other dogs. Thank you!! God bless!!!”
