“Melissa was wonderful to communicate with, her responses were always prompt and professional. She did an amazing job looking after my dog, Millie, going above and beyond to make sure she was looked after and comfortable, while I was away for the day.”
“Andrea was so great to communicate with - she sent lots of videos and was clearly so sweet with our dog. Very happy to have connected with her, and highly recommend!”
“Marie is the first dog walker I’ve used on Rover and she has been wonderful!! Very kind and professional and goes above and beyond. She sent me photos from their walk and shared cute updates, which I appreciated ☺️ 10/10 would recommend.”
“Carole has been an incredible addition to our support team with Orfeu. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and has already helped us provide our highly anxious pup with more structure and security. We are beyond impressed with her professionalism and care. We would recommend her very highly to anyone!”
About: I own dogs and cats of my own. Former kennel tech for a boarding and daycare facility of all dog breeds/ temperaments/sizes. Currently work with dogs. I work full-time 8-4pm. I am generally around on my off days and happy to stop by before and/or after work. Just reach out and we can try to work something out/ talk about schedules :) I usually dont do drop ins weekly, as my plans change when im not working, so please only ask for specific dates. I am an avid hiker, so if you have an energetic friend I am more than happy to take him or her out on longer walks! But I'm also down for hugs and cuddles with senior pets or furry felines
About: I’ve had pets around pretty much my whole life, so taking care of animals feels really familiar to me. I grew up with dogs and helped with all the usual day‑to‑day stuff. About five years ago my family adopted a cat, which definitely taught me a lot about how different cats can be and what they need. Since moving to Connecticut, I’ve also taken care of friends’ cats and gotten to know a bunch of different personalities. I’ve been around so many pets over the years that stepping into a new routine feels pretty natural. I’m excited to meet your pet and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and understood while you’re away. Being a graduate student gives me a lot of flexibility day‑to‑day. I do tend to be in the lab roughly 9–5 on weekdays, but that’s not a hard rule — I can usually set my own hours or work from home when I need to. With enough notice, I can usually open up my schedule for pretty much any time of day, especially for dog walking or check‑ins. Weekdays after 5pm are often the easiest by default, and weekends depend on what I’ve planned, but I’m generally able to move things around. And honestly, there are plenty of days where my schedule is wide open and I can help out on short notice too. I live by myself in an apartment, so it’s easy for me to adjust to whatever your pet needs. Friends’ pets have been over plenty of times, so my place is already pet‑friendly. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to so things feel familiar for them. For walks and drop‑ins, I can adjust to whatever your and your pets needs are. I really enjoy getting outside with dogs, so walks are something I’m always happy to make time for. The only downside is that I don’t have a yard, but I make up for it with regular walks, check‑ins, and paying attention to what your pet needs to feel comfortable.
About: After years of for-friends & word of mouth dog & catsitting I'm making the jump to pro! I have a relatively open schedule & love to travel..my apartment in New Haven doesn't allow pets so this is how I get pet time in! I work for myself doing mostly gig stuff so am very flexible when it comes to timing for potty breaks etc, & am not limited much geographically I've yet to meet a pet that I didn't connect w & traveling the world I've learned a healthy respect for other's spaces while staying at their properties
“I was new to the area and needed a dog walker within a few days notice. And somehow got lucky enough to stumble upon Mary Rose’s profile. She’s incredibly sweet and responsive, and truly loves animals. Whether it be just a walk in the neighborhood or staying overnight, I truly have zero worries about leaving my dog and two cats. You can tell she loves what she does. Although she’d say she was the lucky one, pretty sure I win! :)”
“Sarah did such an amazing job! I have two dogs with very different personalities and she handled them both great! She also took them on a long walk they were still sleepy by the time we got home. Thanks again!”
“Crystal is fantastic! Our pups love the time they spent walking with Crystal. Thank you for watching our pups and following the instructions to ensure proper care while we were away! We highly recommend Crystal!”
“Liz was amazing and accommodated me with a last-minute request! They were so responsive and great with my dogs - everybody was happy and taken care of. :) I’ll absolutely reach out in the future and would recommend them to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was 18. Now working in the medical side, I am able to make sure pets get their medications (including insulin) appropriately. I am mostly able to care for pets during the weekends or at nights. My work schedule at the veterinarian keeps me busy during the weekdays. I am unfortunately not able to offer pet care at my personal home. I am more than willing to travel to a clients house to care for their pets in their most comfortable environment.
About: I have taken care of a range of dogs. For instance I provided care for a puppy, offering lots of active play, walks, and cuddles. For senior dogs I am able to clean up after them and offer gentile exercise. Dogs of any breeds with any needs I can meet! Availability mostly on Tuesday, Wednesday,Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Can do most times of the day, schedule is very flexible. Would prefer earlier in the day but can do afternoons and nights I will familiarize myself with the home and conduct a thorough walkthrough of the dog's environment. I will identify potential hazards and secure any loose items. I can ensure that gates, doors, and windows are securely closed to prevent dogs from escaping. If the dog will be spending time in a yard or outdoor area, I will ensure that the fencing is secure and free from gaps or weaknesses. I will identify and remove potential hazards, such as toxic plants, small objects that could be ingested, or electrical cords. I will keep trash cans inaccessible to prevent dogs from getting into harmful items. I provide constant supervision, especially during outdoor activities or when introducing dogs to new environments. I will be vigilant in multi-pet households to prevent any conflicts. I will make myself aware of any specific triggers or fears the dogs may have. I can regularly check the dogs for signs of illness or discomfort. I will administer any necessary medications according to the owner's instructions. I can set up comfortable resting areas with blankets or beds where the dogs can retreat when they need downtime. With all these factors I can offer safety and comfort for you dog.
About: I genuinely love spending time with animals; playing, walking, and making sure they feel safe and happy. Every pet I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a student, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog! I don’t have school on the weekends so it means I have all day to spend time with your furbaby! I'm close to a trail and doggy park which is perfect for walking your fur baby to get some daily physical exercise in for health!
“Patty is the best! She is very patient with my senior dog and takes him on long walks at his own pace. I highly recommend Patty to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of your pet!”
“Vanessa is so lovely! She walks my pug, Mabel, regularly and Mabel adores her. She is incredibly reliable and sends great pictures and updates. I appreciate her extra effort so much and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals and am well equipped in dealing with different dogs and cats. I understand all pets have different personalities and how to deal with them. I’m going to keep the pets engaged by playing with them and taking them for walks. My biggest priority is safety so I won’t just leave the pet alone for long periods of time. Not only that but no doors are even left unlocked and I ensure they aren’t eating random things. I love spending time with animals so the pet won’t ever be lonely. I have a bounty of toys in my house so the pet will never be bored and remain engaged. I consider myself to be a great dog person. My work schedule is flexible so I am able to pop in and out of my apartment to check in on my animals. Weekends are best for starting boarding so I can monitor the animal closely and get an understanding of its behaviour. To ensure safety, in both my home and a clients, I ensure doors are locked, not food items are left out, wires are out of reach if there are young animals. In my home, I make sure to not have any plants that could be harmful to cats or dogs.
Dwight dog parents share their Rover experiences
As first time puppy parents, we felt a little anxious about hiring someone to help care for Milo, but Rick quickly calmed our nerves. He clearly prioritized our puppy’s comfort, asking plenty of great questions at the meet and greet. Rick was punctual, a reliable communicator, and took the cutest pics of Milo! We will be rebooking and highly recommend Rick without hesitation. :)
Aleeki is so kind and reliable! She’s taken care of my dog a few times now and every time she is so communicative. I had some last minute schedule changes last weekend and she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was well cared for. I appreciate her so much!
Sophia is the best dog sitter and walker we have ever come across. She stayed at our place with our 11 year old Puggle, Finn, for 10 days while we were in Italy and we had absolutely no worries. She was so attentive and caring towards him, and always reached out to us with questions, updates and pictures. It’s very obvious that Sophia is a natural with animals and that they sense they can trust her. Recently, we had her watch/feed/walk both Finn and our daughter’s Australian Shepherd, Ava, who can be a handful around strangers and other dogs but Ava took to Sophia immediately. We trust Sophia implicitly and I think you will find that to be true, too. You’ll make the best decision by entrusting your pets in her care!
Nancy was immediately loved by my pit mix Cheebs. He is very selective about his people but warmed up to Nancy so quickly, which made us knew we can trust her. She’s great with our guy, loves on him like he’s her own. She’s stayed in our home and done a few walks and we know we can count on her. Thank you, Nancy!
