Highly-rated overnight sitters - Saukborough Homeowners
“Katie, Samuel, and their family always take such good care of our Jarvis! They send frequent updates and always make sure that he has everything he needs to be comfortable while there. We know we can always trust them. We look forward to our next booking with them :)”
“Stefanie and her family were so loving to my little dog Dolly! I cant say enough about how accommodating they were while I was away in Arizona for the week. I highly recommend them for your pups dog sitting needs! Will be using them again in the future for sure. Dolly sure does miss them all!”
“Lindsey was great with my dog! She made sure to update us with photos and activities throughout the days. Thank you Lindsey for showering my fur baby with love and lots of walks!💕”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Michele and her family, and we couldn't be happier with their care! We've had a long-term house and dog sitter who recently relocated away from town, so our dogs had never had the experience of staying away from home without us before. We were a little concerned about how that would go, but right from the start we were reassured by Michelle's friendliness, her evident dog smarts, and her long experience with (sometimes challenging) pups. Before and throughout the boarding process, communication was just right -- clear and relevant, frequent enough to be reassuring but not at all excessive. When we returned home and picked up the dogs, they were in great shape: happy, relaxed, and clearly in no rush to leave Michelle and her family behind :) We'll definitely hope to have them stay again in the future.”
“Edith was amazing, she gave great updates and my pups were very happy to be with her wail I was out of town. Would definitely recommend her if you are in need of a dog sitter!”
“Our three dogs had a great night with Allison! She was easy to work with and laid back. Dogs got to chill on the couch, luxury access to special beds and blankets. Thanks for a great stay!”
“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“Ryan and Martha were fantastic rovers! They were incredibly kind and great communicators. I would totally have them watch my dog again if I needed!”
“Just picked up Roux from what I fondly refer to as "Camp Cleda". While happy to see me, I think he is always a bit sad to leave his second home. This was a 2 week trip and I always worry a bit. But Cleda continues to be responsive, kind, and Roux loves her. So thankful!”
“Fantastic! Can't recommend them enough. Our pup had so much fun, we got regular updates, and he got a REPORT CARD with lots of details at the end of his stay. Just wonderful!!”
“My pup, Toby, had an awesome time staying with Sarah and her pup!!! She took him out for walks multiple times a day, plus a quick run, which is perfect for my high energy puppy. She kept me updated through out the weekend with texts and pictures. Sarah, you were amazing! Thank you again for taking care of the Tobe-master!”
“Remy had an amazing stay! He's a little special because of his tummy issues, so it is very hard for me to leave him at all, but it's just a little easier knowing he's in caring hands. Thank you so much for all of the photos and updates. I really appreciate all that you did to make him comfortable. Remy sends his love!”
“Becky and Judd have treated Neko so well and if he was there own! They have worked with us on short notice stays, and always keep me updated on how well he’s doing! Neko loves going over there to be watched by their family!”
“Elmer absolutely loved staying with Manjusha and Midhun. They sent so many wonderful updates and photos, and kept him well entertained. He was only slightly disappointed to be leaving them to come back home with us 😋. I'd definitely book with them again! Easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.”
About: I know how to administer medicine and tend to dogs that have seizures. I can also work with your dog on basic commands - sit, stay, lay down - as well as dogs who pull while on their leash. I work full time, until 1 PM, at the latest! My schedule is somewhat flexible, based on your needs, but it does vary. Just let me know! :) I have many different types of leashes and harnesses for your dogs walks, I can provide treats, and my fur baby will keep yours company.
“Hannah and family were amazing! It was clear from the pictures she shared that they felt safe and happy while we were away. Hannah sent lots of pictures and was so easy to communicate with. We already have another reservation booked with her!!”

“Couldn’t be more pleased with the careful attention and great communication that Natalie brought when she watched over our epileptic senior cat. She graciously stepped in at the last minute for me when other plans fell through. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was such an amazing sitter for my furry babies. She took her time to ask questions and understand well how to care for them. The updates and pictures always were on point and left me feeling that my babies were in very caring and capable hands. Next time I will look for someone to look after my babies I will go for Jennifer.”
“Yvonne is the best! She takes such great care of my Coto and is constantly going above and beyond. The updates and pictures are very much appreciated. This was our 3rd time booking with her and we will continue to book with her for future trips.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”
“Steve has amazing personality and my cat warmed up to him automatically. I feel safe leaving my meowies with him and looking forward to how he’ll develop his bonding with the rest of when I am gone.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!”
“She's so descriptive of how my kitty is doing, pays close attention to instructions, and is so incredibly thoughtful outside of that like taking our trash cans to the curb when she saw that our neighbors had theirs out or bringing the mail in. My kitty really seems to like her, and we feel so much more comfortable leaving on a mini vacay knowing that our little fluff ball is in competent, loving hands.”
“It was our first time leaving our kitty for an extended period of time - Anna took excellent care of our girl! She eased my worries with frequent text and photos updates and was very patient getting to know our cat. We also ran into some technical issues (on my end) and Anna was very flexible! We are so grateful for her.”
“She was great! Very respectful and always provided detailed descriptions plus pictures with her visits. Easy to communicate with and always on time. I highly recommend.”
“Jesse was great while she stayed overnight with my cat while I was on vacation. She sent pictures and videos, kept my place clean, and washed the sheets when she left. Thanks, Jesse!”
“Austin was great to work with! He sent daily updates along with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. He consistently checked in and kept me informed on how everything was going. I also really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to help out on short notice. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Ryan was great. He stopped by once a day to check on my cat, feed him, and clean the litterbox. And we received a picture of my cat every day. Ryan jumped in at the last-minute request, and we greatly appreciated his timeliness and availability. Thank you, Ryan!”
“Anna was terrific. Her communication was timely and professional, and she was great with the cats. Loved seeing the photos of our fur babies while we were traveling. Would definitely use Anna again!”
“Jess was fabulous. We felt so confident leaving our pets in her care and were not disappointed. We are looking forward to our next trip and being able to work with Jess again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saukborough Homeowners
“Allison was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing Hodu was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”
“Gen hosted our pup on his first birthday and went out of her way to make him feel special on his big day. It definitely put this worrying puppy mom at ease knowing he was having such a fantastic time with Sasha and Gen while we were gone. His face always perks up when we pull into their driveway and he never wants to leave!”
“Christine was friendly and provided our energetic dog with lots of exercise and treats. Our dog was happy to hang out at her place on the second day of our stay in Madison!”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Last minute, but with wonderful communication and top care. I got lots of photos and updates on my old girl. She has separation anxiety so probably not the easiest. But Taylor and her husband are lovely people and took good care of her for the evening! Many thanks❤️”
“Martha is so great, she accommodated us last minute which was so helpful! She sent update pictures which I really appreciate! Uma was in great care and had fun with her boys. They took her for walks and played with her. I’d recommend Martha and her family :)”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Jackie is a great choice for any dog sitting needs. She was very communicative and flexible including sending multiple pics of our dog Daisy unprompted. We could tell that Daisy had an incredible vacation with Jackie and look forward to booking again!”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Helen and her mom were so great to my pup Rooster. They took him on two walks and sent several pictures, which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend!”

“Hanna watched my Kira today. She sent me pictures and assured me that Kira was having a great time. She has a nice fenced yard and her dog Sadie is so sweet! Sadie also has the same amount of energy as my dog, they played well together. Kira is wiped out from today’s play day and can’t wait to see Hanna and Sadie again next week!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Saukborough Homeowners
About: I work from home and have flexible hours. My dog loves to play with other dogs and would love to have a friend on walks or to play in our fenced-in yard! Also available to go on solo walks if needed. Can also have behaved dogs stay over during day or night; they will get plenty of love from our dog and our two daughters. Can take the dog for walks, to dog parks, or just hang out in our back yard. I work from home. I can take dogs for walks or dog parks most times during the week, as my meetings can be handled from my phone. If dogs are friendly with our dog, the dog can come play at our house in our fenced in back yard. Weekend mornings are usually free for walks, and depending on kid activities can fit in walks and feedings during the afternoon/evening. I have a fenced in yard and a dog (Australian Shepard) that gets along with almost every dog he’s met. Have many dog toys for play. Neighborhood for walks is quiet and has many friendly dogs. At client’s home, will provide feedings, walks, and/or in-home playtime.
“Michelle is spectacular! This was my first Rover experience and I was quite concerned my pup wasn't going to cooperate with a (relative) stranger for a walk BUT from the moment they met for a Meet and Greet Michelle was his friend. It's obvious she truly loves dogs and I know mine loves the time they spend together. I strongly recommend Michelle to any Rover user and will recommend this app to friends.”
About: I regularly walk and check in on a dog four times a week and have pet sat for several families. I’ve also helped care for my families dog over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I currently have a pretty high availability to care for pets — through boarding, quick walks, drop in visits, etc! I love early morning walks and exploring nature. I provide a calm, safe environment and always follow care instructions closely. Though I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats — supervising pets carefully to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.
“Stephanie is great, and I'm going to have to come up with reasons to book her again, because my pups are going to miss her. Punctual, good communication, and comfortable with ACDs, which is not always easy. Highly recommend.”
“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”
“Stina is extremely pleasant. She replied to my request quickly and was so easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet because my dog can be reactive at times. My dog took to her right away. It was obvious Stina had experience with animals. The next day she took her on a walk and it went great! We will definitely be using her services in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Magan was the most helpful and amazing dog walker. My dog Vienna loved her, and she was always so happy whenever she got to go out with Magan. Magan was really sweet to Vienna and treated her great! Would recommend 100%”
“Austin is fantastic! I love all of the pictures, updates, flexibility, and care he takes while walking Mazie! She always looks so happy and excited! Will recommend Austin to anyone and everyone!”
“Ashley does a great job with my anxious 70lb pittie and really pushes him to walk far (which is something we normally do). She’s punctual and reliable. I’m so lucky to have found her!!”
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”
About: We have 3 cats and a mini Dachshund, all rescues. Reliable, respectful, dependable. All-around animal-person, committed to keeping animals safe and happy - I strongly believe that people have a responsibility, duty to care for and love all animals; it’s a privilege to have a relationship with them, and we should foster and nurture that. Interested in teaching basic dog commands. Will learn to administer shots if needed. Sensitive to changes in behavior that could signal unhappiness, illness. In the future, hope to create a doggy sanctuary, so I can have many dogs of my own to love and care for every day. I just love dogs & cats & all animals! Value open and clear communication with owners to better care for their pets and to build healthy relationships between us all. My availability has some flexibility, so contact me to discuss! Recently retired and looking forward to devoting time and energy doing things I love, including caring for and building bonds with furry friends. Prefer scheduling ahead of time but will do my best to accommodate same-day requests. All care will be provided according to your instructions. For daycare service provided at my home, I would take dogs out on leash at regular intervals because my yard is un-fenced. Kitties and doggies are loved and treated with kindness and respect.
About: I am 37 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years during my 20s. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a animals happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while you are away. A majority of the time I work from home while having occasional appointments out of the home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to ensure that your pet gets 1:1 time and gets outside when needed. I like to follow my clients routines so their pet can predict as much as possible. My experience has given me a little bit of the super power to predict the future, which leads to me to taking extra safety steps “just in case”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish since childhood. I’ve cared for toy breeds to extra large dogs (tea cups yorkies to mastiffs!), individual cats to families with 5+ feline family members. I have experience with puppy obedience (consistent/incremental/positive reinforcement), senior care, and varying levels of energy. I’ve worked with shy pets and incredibly social pets. Teach me about your pet and I will provide as consistent of care as possible while you’re away. I have a predictable schedule in my personal life and I am able to plan and design a pet care schedule with your routines in mind. I will make every effort to ensure clear, manageable expectations are communicated in advance so all parties are satisfied. I will follow routines and practices as close to the established routines to which your pet has grown accustomed. I understand this can vary greatly by family and appreciate clear communication.
