I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.

I am so glad we found Vanessa!! She is amazing with our senior pup. We have been booking with her for walks weekly and she is super communicative and reliable, always sends sweet photos, and is extremely trustworthy. I don’t know what we would do without her!

Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.

About: I’m a caring and attentive dog mom with 6 years of experience and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets over the years and now have two sweet, friendly Shih Tzu mixes of my own. I treat every fur baby like part of my family, giving them plenty of affection, attention, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide 24-hour care and attention throughout the week and on weekends. My flexible schedule means your pup will always have company, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a spacious home with lots of room to roam, tons of dog toys and treats, and a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs love making new friends, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for comfort or safety.

About: I’ve had a dog and watch family and friends dogs since I was 9. In getting older I love training dogs I have worked with puppies to help them with basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and stop. I am experienced in leash training border collies this is also a great way to get dogs energy out as it uses their body and mind. I do go to college so I can help at night or sporadically can check in and take them for walks during the day. On Friday through Sunday I can help throughout the entire day. I ensure the dogs are safe at all times in previous clients homes I have had to take dogs on separate walks due to them not walking well together. I always make sure to play games with them as well as their walks to ensure the can get all of their energy out while I am with them, especially for drop in visits or just walks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and chickens for over 10 years. I started by taking care of a friend’s Bernese mountain dog when I was 18, and it’s taken off since then. Over the course of 11 years, I’ve predominantly cared for larger dogs (Bernese, Greyhounds, and New Foundlands). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat the home like my own space and leave it just the same as when I arrived. I’m currently unemployed after being laid off. Right now I’m able to be in your home all day and night while caring for your pets. When I’m back to working full-time, I arrange with the owner for a neighbor etc to visit during the day while I’m at work. I typically care for pets in the client’s home because the pet is more comfortable in their typical environment. I ask ahead of time what the pet’s schedule is so I’m familiar with their routine.

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From a young age, I naturally took on the responsibility of helping care for my family’s dogs, making sure they were fed, exercised, groomed, and given plenty of attention and affection. Providing a safe, loving, and structured environment has always been important to me. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments, including administering medication, basic grooming, and supporting rescue and rehoming efforts. I’ve personally rescued several animals and understand the patience, compassion, and consistency they need to feel secure and happy. I joined Rover because working with animals truly brings me joy. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family and cared for with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time caring for my baby and my own dogs. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never left alone for long periods. With a flexible schedule and a calm home environment, I can give each pet the time, care, and companionship they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision at all times. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications, to help them feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe space to relax or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I treat every pet and home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, loving hands.

About: There’s never been a moment in my life where I wasn’t around a dog. I love dogs and treat them the way they deserve, like family. As a bartender I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly open during the day when people are at work I am home or running errands. I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

Laura is amazing. She was a godsend when I was visiting CT and needed help with the dogs. Great walker and wonderful with the dogs care. When we had a potty accident she not only helped but also brought chicken, pumpkin and rice for my fur babies to help him get over his sick tummy. Can't beat her attention or ability to handle multiple dogs at once.
