Dog Boarding in Essex

Lindsay was very communicative and gave us plenty of updates during our dog’s stay with her. He seemed to get plenty of exercise, and we would definitely book Lindsay again in the future!

I can't recommend Ari enough! She boarded my two dogs, Louie and Lestat, for five days and went above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and part of her family. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell they were in great hands. She kept me updated throughout their stay with regular texts and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I took care of personal business and errands. Both of my dogs came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s so comforting to know that they were loved and treated like family. Ari is professional, kind, and absolutely wonderful with animals. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, look no further – she’s the best!

Nikki provided a wonderful comfortable place for Tessie to stay and spent a lot of time cuddling with her. She has a nice big fenced back yard, and lives close to Forest River for nice walks.

After the destination is picked, the air tickets bought, it's automatic to make a reservation with Donna for our dog, Max. Happy to have found her.

Lori took wonderful care of our pup. He had a great time and settled in well for a weekend stay. Strongly recommend Lori as a great pet sitter!

Gienna went above and beyond! Mina was so happy in her care, and Gienna communicated every step of the way. We are grateful for her excellent care.

This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we discovered it! We recently traveled to Portugal and needed someone to care for our senior “pitizen,” Stewie. He’s the sweetest, easiest boy to love, but some might hesitate because he wears belly bands (his little “leaky faucet,” as we like to call it). From the very start, Rebeca and her family welcomed Stewie with open arms. Just hours before dropping him off, he suddenly experienced an episode where his back legs gave out—something completely new and scary for us. After a quick urgent care visit and a conversation with Rebeca, we felt completely comfortable moving forward with our trip, confident that Stewie was in the best hands possible. Throughout our travels, Rebeca kept us updated with multiple pictures and messages every day, showing Stewie happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. He was treated like part of the family—so much so that he even got to sleep in her kids’ beds each night! Rebeca and her family are the full package—a true home away from home for your beloved furry friends. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Natasha and Jonathan were able to accommodate our wedding request to pick her up from our wedding venue and taking care of her overnight. We scheduled a meet and greet at their home beforehand and they have a great set up to keep our baby happy and engaged! They’re very quick communicators, sent pictures, and often sent updates. we’re so grateful for them!

Kathy is 100% awesome and "dog smart" and clearly dogs like her! She currently owns a very young golden retriever, so I came by, ahead of formally booking her, to make sure my two dogs would get along with hers, and to check out the house and fenced yard suitability -both are humble in size but organized well to accommodate dogs. I was totally reassured that she has the kind of intuitive knowledge of dog personalities and behaviors to deal with my two coming into an unfamiliar situation. She completely put me and my dogs at ease. I knew my two dogs would be 100% in good hands. When I dropped off the dogs for the actual stay, she was very accommodating about where to place the dogs' blankets and even provided a large foam dog bed to place them on. When I returned for the pick up, both dogs seemed totally relaxed. She gets and A+ and 5 gold stars.

Krista was so wonderful with our two babies. She was very communicative and went above and beyond for us. This is our second time using her and will again when in the area!!

David and his family were ideal sitters for Ethel. This was my first time in 6 years having to look outside of friends and family for help, and I never had any moments of discomfort in this process. David made it easy with an initial meet and greet so I could see where Ethel would stay, he was communicative throughout the whole process with updates and photos, and he made drop-off and pick-up easy for my roommates. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again with David, it was such a comfort to know that Ethel was in good hands.

Mike was great with my dog Franklin. They have a lovely fenced yard where he took Franklin to play every day. I will definitely recommend Mike and use him myself in future.

Great stay. I felt in good hands. Very good communication and compassion for my dog.

Christian was amazing! We did everything we asked for and he was super accommodating during drop off/pick up. We knew we made the right choice because our dog was super happy when we picked him up. We’ll definitely be booking with Christian in the future!

Patricia is an outstanding rover! She loved and cared for my dog like it was one of my own and sent many videos and photos while I was away! I felt very confident that my dog was in great hands. The fact that she also is a groomer is a huge plus so my baby came home all clean!

My dog loves it here! Jennifer and her family are so nice and accommodating. I received pictures and updates every day - she is definitely my go-to sitter!

Jack is so kind and took such great care of my pup. Starr had so much fun playing in the dog park right in front of Jack’s building! I will most definitely bring Starr to Jack in the future when I am in the area for work. 5 stars for sure!!

Paul and Megan took incredible care of Jojo -- they are attentive to every need and personality quirk and made our pup feel so comfortable and loved while we were gone. We hope to have a chance for Jojo to visit with them again soon!

My 12 year old dog had never been boarded with someone who was not family. Fae and Joseph were incredibly welcoming and kept me updated all weekend long. Would absolutely book again!
