“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
“Maeve has cared for our pets on more than one occasion. She is diligent, reliable and kind. I appreciate that Maeve checks in at every drop in and sends multiple photos. The house looked great when we returned from our trip too! 👍🏽💕”
“Loren is amazing with our two cats. They are quite picky and and shy, but they are always happy and in a great mood when we arrive home. She plays with them a lot, brush them, administers medicine if needed and in general pays attention to everything related to them.”
“Hunter went above and beyond while caring for our three cats for this past week. When the storm was approaching, she texted me to see if I wanted her to put our water bowls in case the power went out. It did, and she did put water out. From the pics, I could tell that Emma warmed up to Hunter right away. Iris got her pills even though she was skittish. Thank you, Hunter, for taking care of the kids.”
“Marlena did a great job checking in and looking after our shy cats and our home. We appreciated her being super responsive and very communicative. Its never easy leaving furbabies at home. Thanks Marlena we truly appreciate it.”
“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”
“Caroline watched our dog pack for a week doing multiple drop-in visits a day. She was responsible, took great care of our dogs, cleaned up after them and kept us updated with pictures & notes after every visit. We highly recommend Caroline to take care of your doggy loved ones! Thanks again!”
About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.
About: Newly moved to Simsbury! I grew up working closely with a rescue in the Carolinas, so I've spent pretty much my whole life caring for pups of all kinds! From the energetic puppies who trip over their own ears (and may not be totally potty trained yet) to the sassy seniors who just want to chill and may need a little extra TLC, I believe all of our furry friends deserve the same level of love and care. I know we all wish we could just stay home with them every day, but for those who can't I'm here to help! I'll take care of any ear scritches, walkies and treatos your pup needs to be happy and healthy when you get back! I work weekends, which leaves me free to care for your furry friends while you do your obligatory "9-5" during the school day. Just don't tell my dogs I'm petting your dogs! Whether we are hanging out in your back yard or walking to a local park, I'll make sure your pup gets all of the attention and care needed.
“Can’t recommend Midori enough! I was nervous not only leaving my dog alone for the first time but this was my first time using Rover, and she went above and beyond to make my dog (and me) so comfortable while I was away! She met us in advance to make sure it was a fit, sent me updates every day, brought him a toy, played with him and made sure he was as happy as he could be while I was gone. Very professional, and followed my instructions without any issues. Thank you so much, we will be using you again in the future!”
“Great visits with Sky - gave him lots of love and attention and always made sure to keep us updated with pictures. Ensured he was fell fed and watered and always had a clean litter box....”

“Alexandrine took great care of my five dogs and she was able to fit them into her schedule with less than a days notice. She followed all my instructions perfectly and she did everything I needed her to do for my pets, including taking great care of my senior dog. I would absolutely recommend her services. She is trustworthy, responsible, and great with pets.”
“Miranda was a godsend! I needed a cat sitter last minute over the holiday, and she really came through. Took wonderful care of our baby, great communication, and plenty of pictures. Will definitely book again next time we're out of town!”
