“This was Milo’s first time spending a night at Eric’s house. He had a wonderful time! Eric, his wife and mother-in-law were all so great to Milo. He will be very excited the next time he goes back!”
“Michelle was wonderful! Upon meeting her I knew she would be so great with Rooney for the weekend, especially with another little pup to keep him company as well. Rooney is very active, so her big yard was perfect for him to run and play in. She kept constant contact to keep us in the know of how Rooney’s stay was going, which included many pictures. He was worn out when we picked him up, which meant he enjoyed his time there. Will definitely be re-booking with Michelle if we need a sitter again!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our dog. She was very loving and caring towards him. I could see in the photos and videos that Michelle sent that our dog was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with Michelle again and highly recommend her.”
“Trenton was very responsive and was wonderful and accommodating to our last minute booking. He sent us pictures and updates and we were pleased to see he had a fenced in yard. Our dog Jordy was very happy and well taken care of. Would book him again if we are ever in the area!”
“Nazim was an excellent sitter for our Coco. He was very responsive and sent lots of pics. Our dog was happy when we picked her up. I was nervous to leave her but she did great and this is an awesome alternative to boarding at a daycare.”
“Jaylese was great with Radley and sent us pictures and updates on how he was doing. This was the first time we used a service like this and we were very pleased. Thank you!! Definitely be using Jaylese in the future.”
“Kristina kept my shih tzu and maltese for 5 days while we went on vacation. She sent photos and video daily. The dogs were always having a good time. They came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Kristina again and recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Taylor is a lovely person and dog lover. Her home is welcoming and comfortable for your pet. Taylor went the extra mile with my dog’s care and I appreciate her thoughtfulness. Her young dog Marley is very well behaved and actually quite calm for such a young dog, my dog had no issues whatsoever with Marley. I will definitely return again and highly recommend Taylor. Thank you!”
“Liz was great with our dog Arabelle! Arabelle can be shy, but Liz was very patient with her and she warmed up quick. She sent us lots of photos of Arabelle enjoying the sun and hanging out in her yard, and we knew she was in good hands. She also went out of her way to bring Arabelle to our wedding photos! We don't live in the area, but if we are ever back we will definitely book Liz again.”
“Sarah was great! It was a short stay but we were kept informed with pics and updates. Our doggo came home happy and exhausted, and for such a high energy dog that’s a compliment. A solid choice of a sitter!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
About: I grew up being around dogs since I was a young girl. I also have a boxer mix that I rescued 7 years ago. She’s my best friend and we love relaxing at home and going to dog parks also! I have a lot of experience and the heart for taking care of fur babies! I am available all weekends for boarding/sitting/drop ins as I work full time during the week but I can also do drop-ins in the evening if needed Monday-Friday I have 1 fur baby of my own. She gets along great with other dogs/animals. I have a crate if you require/prefer that in certain situations.
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs of all sizes. I have owned 3 pitbulls so I for sure know how to handle dogs that size. I also have a park near my house that is very discrete where the dogs can come roam around. It is fenced and barely anyone ever goes to. I used to bring my dogs over there when I had them. I am available full time if needed. I work from home. I can do pick up & drop as well. Please let me know, it would be my pleasure! I care for the dog as if they are my own. I know animals can become family, just as mine have became family. I will go accordingly to your dogs schedules and make sure they have the best care.
“Allison was so great with our dog Wendy! Allison had no problem giving Wendy daily medication, and she sent regular updates and was so easy to communicate with. Wendy had a great time, and we were so relieved knowing she was in good hands while we were away! We won’t hesitate to use Allison again!”
“Lucy enjoyed her stay with Zara's and she probably can't wait to go there in the future. Zara provided a warm and safe home for Lucy and a provided her with great care. I highly recommend Zara as a sitter.”
“Fantastic sitter who provided lots of love and care for my dog, Winston. She sent me plenty of photos and gave me updates throughout his stay. When I came to pick my dog up he was actually sad to leave! Will be looking to book again on my next trip, thanks again Briana!”
“Yvette and her husband clearly fell in love with dogs and treated them as precious children. The photos sent showed two content and well-cared for dogs. I will definitely leave “the girls” with Yvette again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hartford
We had such a wonderful experience with Yareisy! She took amazing care of Loki, and he clearly had the best time during his stay. She went above and beyond by writing a personalized note and sending him home with the cutest souvenirs. We also really appreciated her keeping me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!
Izadora is the absolute perfect sitter! I always knew my Jack was in great hands, and the daily updates she provided kept me a peace throughout my trip. I can tell Jack had so much fun with her, her daughters, and he even got to play with various other dogs! Thanks again Izadora!
My family and I went out of town for a week, and Valeria watched our 11-week-old puppy, who can definitely be a handful! She did a fantastic job. She was extremely communicative and reliable, and our puppy seemed happy and very well taken care of the entire time. Valeria was incredibly attentive to everything that comes with caring for a new puppy, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We had a great experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. We will absolutely trust Valeria with our puppy again in the future!
Molly is wonderful - She watched Harlo for us for 9 days and we were so happy that we found someone we felt so comfortable with. Harlo has some anxiety issues especially with new people but Molly was patient and great with him . Would recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone great to care for their dog !
Chris is great! I was worried bc my 1 year old golden retriever has tons of energy and sometimes other dogs have a issue with that but Chris send me quite a few pics over the weekend and said my baby did great with the pack! She looked very happy…love the dogs have freedom around his house and the big yard! I definitely recommend!!
Natalia is very nice & was extremely accommodating in our last minute request for boarding. Our 2 kittens, almost 4 months old, really seemed to enjoy their stay at Natalia's after an initial adjustment period of being in a new environment. Natalia also had her 2 daughters periodically play with our kittens & they liked that too. We would definitely rebook boarding our kittens again with Natalia in the future!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
