“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“Gave Sheinaice a chance with my dog, Gigi, and she absolutely had a blast!!! With Gigi being a GSD, it made me feel even better that she owned one as well. Daily photo and text updates as promised. Will definitely be booking with her again soon!”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”
“We had a very good experience leaving our dog with Senada for eight days, our first booking on Rover. She loves dogs and keeps only one dog at a time. Her home is safely arranged for visiting pups and is very well kept. She has a spacious, fenced yard and watches the dog carefully while they're outside. She follows desired schedules for eating and resting. She willingly and regularly took our dog on walks. Lizzie came home relaxed and was well cared for at Senada's. We look forward to boarding Lizzie there again.”
“Eric and his wife took amazing care of my cat and dog while I was away for two weeks. They got to know each animal and sent videos and photo updates, I will use them again in the future!”
“Nickimmy was great-totally recommend. She was super responsive when communicating about a nd treated Milo like he was her own family pet. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave Milo with someone new to him, as we are anxious pet parents, but we both felt immediately comfortable leaving Milo in Nickimmy’s care. She provided frequent pictures and check ins, lots of walks and time outside, and she even comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night howling bc he missed us! We will definitely leave Milo with Nickimmy again and can’t recommend her and her sweet family enough.”
“I have been using rover for 4 years now and Amy has been the best petson to take care of my dog "Johnny" so far. She is Highly Recommended and will be using her to take care of my Dog moving forward. The pictures she sent us we awesome and it really looked like my dog was living his best life lol. You will not be disappointed.”
“Russ and Janet are great. Sophie was in 7th Heaven with them. Walked and played with and cuddled. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Having just moved to the area, we’re thrilled to now have a go-to sitter for our pooch.”
“Elaineh is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She sent photos/videos of by pup. She kept me informed. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. She took very good care of my pup.”
“Melanie is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our pup for the first time. Her level of communication was perfect and I think Shasta was genuinely sad to come home.”
“I recommend Novelette highly. It seemed to take a bit for our dog to settle in, and Novelette was very patient & accommodating! She was a great communicator & sent plenty of pictures to keep me up-to-date on our dog. She was kind & flexible. Thank you again, Novelette!❤️”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’ve always had animals growing up, so caring for them comes very naturally to me, and I truly love being around them. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, giving extra comfort and gentleness to senior pets, or simply making sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have a calm and comfortable environment to relax in. I’m organized, flexible with routines, and able to adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and energy level. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable while they’re away. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special preferences or behaviors. I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine and giving them lots of care and companionship.
“Fiona was fantastic! Meet and greet first and got comfortable with the setup. She sent pics and updates as requested and I will be booking with her again soon. I could tell my dog Cal was very comfortable there both during and after.”
“Addie was extremely nice and took the best care of our pups! She was very commicative and took many pictures on the daily. We will absolutely book again when we are in the area! Thank you!”
“Finding a sitter you truly trust is hard, but Will made it easy. He is remarkably friendly and provided the highest level of loving care for our Moe. I was also so grateful for their flexibility and understanding when plans changed. It’s such a relief to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. High recommend! My dog absolutely loves him, and I will definitely be booking again. Will is the absolute best choice! Thank you.”
“Patti and her family went above and beyond to acclimate my puppy for her first boarding experience. They took such wonderful care of her that I wasn’t sure my puppy would want to come home! I would HIGHLY recommend Patti for your pets!”
“Chris was amazing with our Scruffy! We appreciated her photos and messages…and Scruffy appreciated the walks and the love! We highly recommend booking with her! Thank you, Chris ?❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Simsbury
Katie took such great care of my extremely anxious dog, was able to make sure he spent time alone to decompress, continued with his medication schedule, and was able to get him outside which is one of his biggest fears. I can’t recommend Katie enough for her kind and compassionate care of my dog English.
Sabrina was absolutely wonderful—we can’t recommend her highly enough. She took incredible care of our pups, including our elderly dog who required extra attention (and some cleanup!), and handled everything with patience and kindness. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to Sabrina and her family for taking such loving care of Ollie and Remy!
Vanessa was amazing with our little guy — she was so communicative throughout the whole stay, sending lots of photos and videos. She also has three dogs that were all great with our super high energy puppy. She was has so much love for animals and that totally came through with her care for our puppy!

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. 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 Meet & Greet.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
