About: I’m a teacher who enjoys caring for animals and giving their humans peace of mind. I’m certified in Pet First Aid/CPR. My son, Brett is trained as a Veterinary Assistant. My husband, Jerry enjoys getting to know the dog’s play and relaxation styles. We have experience in caring for pets with medical needs and senior dogs. We have experience with pure bred, mixed breed, and rescue animals. We also have experience with dogs who use crates, if that is what works for yours. We are lifelong dog owners and currently live with Sailor, our 8 year old rescue beagle mix and our turtle Coco. Between the three of us, someone is usually home, but there may be times when we will be out of the home. Let us know what you need and let’s see if we can make it work! When you book with us, we lock your rates in so you pay the same rate for future bookings. Your dog will be treated like one of the family! We offer free Meet and Greets to make sure everyone is comfortable before the stay begins. We take just one family at a time. We provide individualized support and care based on the information you share. We are also insured. Our home is located in a wooded neighborhood with part of the yard fenced and land trust trails just around the corner.
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
“Sarah and Steve took such great care of our puppy! We are so happy that she was in such good hands while we were at work. Sarah is super friendly and nice to work with. She sent updates, photos, and videos, which put us at ease throughout the day. Our pup was excited to see Sarah, and came home very tired at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Sarah and Steve!”
“Jill did a great job taking care of our Border Collie, Buddy. Jill’s a pleasure to work with, responsive and caring, can tell she really loves dogs and made sure Buddy felt right at home. We received regular pictures and a video. Great environment for our Buddy!”
About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and as an adult have owned a Black Lab, King Charles Cavalier, and now have a Jack Russel mix! I'm very active and like taking dogs on long walks! I work from home and am very active. I walk my dog to the beach or harbor every day, into town, and for hikes on nearby trails. I'm a very caring and responsible dog owner.. I have a safe home and would be happy to keep your dog with me or pet sit at your house and take him or her on several walks!
“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”
“Thank you Mary Jo! She watched my Pepper for a couple hours and did a great job! I also thought it was extremely sweet of your son to kiss Pepper goodbye on top of his head :) I highly recommend Mary Jo to look after your dog!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first daycare with Laura. Evie was a bit anxious at first but Laura got her to a calm state quickly and Evie enjoyed playing with her pug, Winston. Laura kept me updated and sent several pictures. Good experience overall and will be back”
“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”
About: As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home. I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day. Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.
“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been an avid animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two miniature pinschers of my own that I’ve spent a great deal of time training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care for every pet. Because I work remotely when I’m not traveling for work, I’m able to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, attention, and reliable care you can trust. When I’m not traveling for work, I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for pet care visits, walks, feedings, and companionship. Every day can look a little different, but I keep my calendar updated to ensure accurate availability and reliable scheduling. We have a dedicated area in our basement with turf, toys, and space for pets to safely play and stay active. I will always be present to supervise and monitor them, whether they’re playing indoors, spending time outside, or going for walks around our neighborhood, which has plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails for safe, enjoyable exercise.
About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.
About: I have been a dog Mom since I was 18 years old. I have always had Labrador Retrievers - I have raised 7 so far from puppyhood to older adults.

I know first hand how important it is for pet parents to feel secure, confident and comfortable that their pet will be exceptionally well cared for and their safety, security and well being made a priority. I can com to your home or host your dog or cat in my home. I have a separate room that is dedicated to your pet's comfort, safety and play fun. I also have 1.3 acres of fully fenced in grass yard for play, walking, fresh air and fun. I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid. I am retired so that gives me flexibility for caring for your pet with walks, play time, treats, and routine feedings and the other high quality care your pet needs. I have a keen understanding of the importance of reliability, responsibility, safety, building trust and confidence when caring for your beloved pets based on my own decades of needing to hire pet care.

“Liza was wonderful. We need a last minute booking for a holiday and she accommodated us very easily. Our Goldendoodle, Biscuit, was very well cared for. He doesn’t always do well away from us and can have some separation anxiety. He was at ease and enjoyed himself. We will definitely rebook with her.”
About: I am a dependable and responsible person who has a passion and a love for dogs and wishes to care for yours. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have loved and valued each one in my life. I adopted 2 dogs in my life and the love I feel/felt for them is like no other. I trained and raised my dog that I adopted at 19 and have been a pet sitter for multiple families throughout the years. I am now a stay at home mom looking to care for dogs for extra income. We are home bodies that usually love to stay local and enjoy our home. I’m a stay at home mom and my partner works remote so our dog gets tons of love and attention throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard and our amazing dog churro to keep your pet company. Daily walks and playtime outside is a must.
“Merlin had a BLAST with Raeven and team. We received a bunch of photos and a video that captured his personality and illustrated his enjoyment. 10/10 - your pup will enjoy a day with their squad.”
“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Clinton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 634 sitters in Clinton, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
