“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of Bella and went the extra mile when Bella wasn’t eating to figure out how to get her to eat a little and to check in with us. She sent us updates and pictures. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to know our baby was in good hands and being spoiled while we were away !!”


“Megan is so easy to work with. I have no anxiety leaving my pups with her. We have an easy routine that works out well. She communicates frequently while we’re gone so I know everything is ok. The pups seem completely calm when I get home.”


About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

“I don’t ordinarily do reviews but Rachel did an outstanding job doing a series of in home sitting and drop in visits. She looked after three senior dogs, a couple of cats, some fish and crabs. One of the animals was on a strict medication schedule and she did just fine with this. Also my pets are messy, I came home to a very clean home. Highly recommend.”

“Once again, Kelly is truly a gem! She stayed overnight with my fur baby Fox Fox and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease while I was away. He is in the best hands when Kelly’s around — calm, content, and totally spoiled with love and attention. Kelly’s updates are always reassuring and heartfelt, and her genuine care for animals really shines through. I am so grateful to have someone so dependable and compassionate looking after my little gent. Thank you, Kelly, and until next time! 🐾”


“Rebecca was great! We were traveling and didn’t know what we were going to do with our dog. Rebecca arrived at our hotel right on time and immediately greeted Winston. It was an easy gig for her, but so important for us to have our sweet boy cared for in our hotel room while we attended a wedding. We’ll definitely recommend and use Rover again.”


“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”


“Elizabeth was quick to respond when I inquired about house sitting our pets. We set up a meet and greet rather quickly too. Once on the job, She texted me daily about the dogs and she followed the directions with some house chores. Grateful she was available for the holiday weekend. I will hire again.”


“Sam did a fantastic job with our dogs Daisy and Dixie. She also took wonderful care of my house and made sure to water my plants as needed. She left my house in better shape than when I left. She kept me updated and asked questions appropriately. I will definitely be booking with Sam again!”

She's taken care of my cat before and I've sat in a few times while she cared for her parents dogs and cats. When I leave my cat with her, I'm able to know that my cat is safe and in good hands. She's extremely knowledgeable to the point that I direct all my pet related questions to her!”

“Shaun has taken care of my animals many times over the past 13 years! He is the most caring and nurturing person I have really ever met.

You can trust that they will be in the greatest hands that they can be in and he will care for them as they are his own! Things he has done for me: - walked the dogs - house set to care for the dogs while I’ve been away - fed the animals (have had dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, and a hamster) - given my pets their medication - plays with them And so much more!!!”
