“I highly recommend Zoe! She did an excellent job taking care of my pet. She was responsible, attentive, and very caring. I truly appreciate her dedication and would definitely trust her again.”
About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!
“Francis is the absolute best house/cat/dog sitter we have ever had! We can't believe how lucky we are to have found her and are so grateful for all she did to take care of our cat and dog! I swear she left our house cleaner than we did! I have never been able to leave our pets with anyone except for family so meeting Francis and being able to trust her and have such a great experience was a godsend. Book her immediately! I have absolutely no reservations about wholeheartedly recommending her.”
“Katie stayed ant our home with our pup Gracie last week. We have had many dog sitters over the years but this was the first trip we didn’t worry at all! Katie communicated well with us and put us at ease. You can tell how caring she is. We appreciate all that she did for Gracie. She also left our home squeaky clean as well. We look forward to having Katie stay again in the future!”
“Ashley was punctual, communicative and followed my instructions when watching my 7 month old puppy. I look forward to adding Ashley into my rotation of regular dog sitters!”
About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
About: I have and do care for my dog and families dogs over long periods of time; including family friends dogs with medical needs at their own homes overnight I am able to check on animals before and after work shifts, and with ample advance i can arrange my work schedule to meet the needs of dogs routines and their owners I myself have my dog mostly kept indoors, and let outside on a leash within a large backyard. Family friends dogs were watched heavily and let out with supervision, even in large fenced in yards
“Emily was AWESOME. Very communicative upfront and during her stay watching Koby. I came back from vacation to a happy dog and a perfect house. Will 100% rebook the next time I vacation.”
About: I've had dogs throughout my adult life and regularly care for a friend's three cats, so I'm no stranger to a variety of pet personalities! While I’m currently pet-free, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I exclusively house sit in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or prefers lounging on the couch all day, I’m happy to match their energy. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets and bring a calm, patient presence to ensure they get the gentle care they need. I’m likely the best fit for your weekend getaways, as I work a 9–5 job outside the home on weekdays. That said, if your pet is comfortable being alone during the day — or if you're located near my workplace in Willimantic — I may be able to swing by for lunch-time drop-ins. Outside of work hours, you can count on me to spend plenty of quality time at home with your pet. I understand how important it is for your pet to receive the same level of care they get from you. I take note of all the details you share — from feeding routines and approved treats to medication schedules and special instructions. My approach is simple: your pets, your home, your rules. During our initial meet-and-greet, I’ll likely ask plenty of questions to make sure I have everything I need to provide the best care possible.
About: As a child I used to help neighbors with their pets if they went away or needed extra help while working. There was also a period of time I have volunteered at different animal shelters. I also had several pets growing up and now in my adult life. For the time being I am limited to assisting on weekends or a random weekday if it becomes available, my life's schedule is very flexible and ever-changing. Currently my home doesn't really provide a secure place to bring pets to my home, but I intend to follow any guidelines/routines that are already established in your home.
“Emily has dogsat for me a few times now. She’s friendly, responsive, and seems patient with my reactive and anxious shelter dog. Thanks, Emily! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and I would love to help out. I know lots of great walking/hiking trails to get the pups out of the house and all energy taken up.

“Lauren did a great job taking care of our girls while we were away for a long weekend. One of the dogs got quite muddy when she found a friend to play with in the rain on a walk and Lauren had no problem getting her in the shower to clean her up. We will definitely have Lauren watch the girls in the future!”

About: I’m already pet sit through another site (where I do have reviews) and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. From a young age, I developed a deep love and passion for pets. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even farm animals, I’ve always felt a special connection with them. Having pets around was a big part of my life, and I truly miss that companionship now that I travel full time. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I’m also an artist and have traveled to 47 states in the US, as well as lived in Paris and the Middle East. My extensive travel has given me a unique perspective on animal care, and I’ve learned to adapt to the needs of various pets in different environments. I travel full time across the US and have been to multiple countries, which has given me the opportunity to pet sit for family and friends along the way. My nomadic lifestyle has allowed me to meet and care for a wide variety of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets we care for. I understand the importance of maintaining a tidy and safe environment for your pets, and treat every home I stay in with the utmost respect.
