“Elvia is awesome! For our pup, we were looking for someone who is confident, experienced, and trustworthy, and Elvia was the perfect fit. She is reliable, very easy to communicate with and always on time. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Heather is our go to dog sitter, and she is the best! Heather sends updates and photos of our pup throughout her stay, and we always are able to enjoy our time away knowing that our pup is in such great hands. We also always return to our house just as we left it. Cannot recommend Heather enough!”
About: I've babysat for my aunts and grandparents dogs over the years. I love animals so much and hope to have plenty of them in the future! So I'm looking to get as much experience with all breeds as possible! I'm currently unemployed which means I'll have tons of availability and free-time to give your pets the best care possible! I also have a rotating sleep schedule so I'm usually available for all different times I take care of pets by keeping a close eye on them and consistently checking in on what they might need. With 3 pets of my own I'm used to constantly checking water, scheduled feedings, and making sure they get plenty of exercise
“Nicole was great and Henry seemed very happy with her care over the weekend. It was our second time booking Nicole and we will be using her again! She even brought in our trash bins, which I had forgotten all about, without being asked!”
“I adopted Winston in December, so this was my first time going away while having a pup. Alison loved on Winston, making both him and me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be okay! He’s a quirky pup, and she made sure he had a blast and was well cared for. When he had a small issue with his food, she let me know right away, and we quickly figured it out together and after that, everything was fine. I so appreciated her caring nature and patience and felt incredibly lucky knowing he was happy and loved while I relaxed on my family vacation. I’m thrilled that Winston will get to spend time with Alison again during my first international trip in September!”
“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
“Frank was very communicative with me and attentive with our shy pup. This was our first time with Frank sitting for the day and I was completely at ease and will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Alyssa was great! Our dog, Kona really benefits from having someone around and Kona gravitated towards her so quickly. She was walked and given a lot of exercise. We definitely will be using Alyssa’s services in the future :)”
“Jess did a great job sitting for our dog for a week while we were out of town. We and our dog could not have been more happy with the experience. Highly recommend Jess.”
“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”
“Wendy did an amazing job caring for our beloved beagle Daisy yesterday -- texting us updates on how things were going and even sending us a few photos. She is a great influence on our feisty beagle, and we could see how happy Daisy is to spend time with her. Friendly, responsible, attentive to Daisy's needs, we are 100 percent thrilled, and look forward to booking another session again soon. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter through Rover.com!”
“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!
“Janine is a great dog sitter with a genuine love of animals. She is kind, thoughtful, and has excellent communication skills. Janine provided timely updates with photos after each visit. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone and have her sit for my dog again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.
About: I’m experienced, intuitive, kind, and gentle. I love the hyper, enthusiastic dog as well as the gentle and shy one. I also understand when a dog misses its owner, needs attention or is ill. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and have a lot of open time while we get settled. My schedule is open and flexible for you. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, New Canaan, or Norwalk I am a short distance away. I am very safety and health conscious with your pet. Many pets have separation anxiety when an owner leaves and it is important to keep a regular schedule for sweetie.
“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”
Jessica S.
“Great care of our pets as always! And great communication! We have asked Jessica to look after our pets many times and she has always gone a wonderful job.”
Janine R.

Katia L.
“atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
Cindy B.
“I have used Cindy forever with different dogs as they aged. She loves dogs, having dogs herself. Met her about 20 years ago. She caters to u and ur dogs needs, lovely and caring person. After the first session I never had to tell, remind etc anything. She’s the bestest!!!”

Janine is truly a star sitter. Her communication from the beginning was clear and efficient. When she house sat our dog, she sent updates frequently. She also exhibited a caring and nurturing attitude towards our dog - who does well with this approach. We were completely relaxed on our trip and would wholeheartedly recommend Janine
Rosa was an amazing and communicative dog sitter. Honestly we don’t know what we would have done without her! She boarded my senior dog who has a lot of medical issues and she did an amazing job taking care of him. Not a single issue and she even gave him a bath, washed his bed, and made sure everything was in good shape before picking him up. I will definitely book her again!
Amanda is awesome! She responded very well & understood my reactive dog. Followed directions to a T, making the whole process so easy! She sent lots of updates of my girl while I was away & took great care of her. 10/10, I recommend Amanda to anyone as she is super trustworthy, kind & patient.
I’m so grateful to have found Sarah to care for our dog Nash! From the initial meet and greet to the end of our trip, she has been an absolute pleasure and has truly gone above and beyond every step of the way. She stayed at our home for a long weekend and took absolutely wonderful care of both Nash and our house. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Sarah kept me updated throughout the stay, and I came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. I can’t wait to book her again for all of our upcoming travel (and I know Nash will be excited too)—she’s truly a gem and I cannot recommend enough!
This was our first sit with Nathalie and she exceeded all expectations. She was more than happy to come over before the sit to meet us and our puppies. She asked all of the right questions and was great with our larger rescue puppy who has stranger danger. Nathalie provided updates on our two dogs while we were on vacation and photos. She is extremely responsive, polite, flexible and kind. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my 2 dogs in her care. We will absolutely be using Nathalie again !!
Amazing dog sitter for our 100+ pound Great Dane. Chloe took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a week. She gave updates, photos and was a great communicator all round. Highly recommended for house stays and walking. Will definitely use Chloe again.
I am so glad I found Josh. One of my dogs can be aggressive towards the other one, and it takes a lot of vigilance and management to deal with that problem. He handled everything perfectly while I was away, and was flexible about staying a little longer when my plane was delayed.
