1. Lisa B.
“Lisa took such great care of my shy cat while we were away, and her daily updates helped calm my anxiety of leaving my cat. She followed my instructions carefully and left the house in the same condition we left it. Plus, she watered the plants! I will be using her again!”
2. Natsha D.
“Natsha was so kind and took wonderful care of my cat! It was my first time using Rover for catsitting, but Natsha made it a very comfortable experience for my cat and gave me lots of peace of mind! She spent a lot of time with him everyday that I was gone and I’m very happy with her petsitting!”

5. Abbie W.
“Abbie was great with Georgia. I Highly recommend.”
6. Carole N.
“Carole took great care of my two cats! I could tell she was kind and attentive to them from the detailed notes she sent. When the cats’ water fountain stoped working she was responsive and figured out a solution. Also, she is a GREAT pet photographer!! I would definitely hire Carole again!”
7. Brandon C.
“Brandon is one of the most responsible, caring and loving people I’ve ever known. His love and knowledge for animals is contagious. He’s the person i go to whenever i need any help with my dog and he never lets me down. If there’s anyone that you can trust with the care of your pet, it’s Brandon.”
8. Jen N.
“This was our first time with Jen and it definitely wont be our last. She was thorough and wonderful with our two cats while we were gone for several days.”
9. Katie L.
“Our dogs loved Katie immediately!! Communication was excellent and all went perfectly. We will definitely be repeat customers!!”
10. Melissa K.
“Melissa sought to go beyond in caring for my cat. She even returned one day to check on his food and water when I was worried it might be low. She played with him and his toys and sent me pictures that he was doing well. I will be asking for her help again!”
11. Garrett F.
“Garrett is hands down the best person to trust with your pet. We left our 7 year old, lively & sociable shepherd mix alone for the first time when we went to Portugal for 10 days. This was the first time Buster had been left with anyone outside the family, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. Garrett went above and beyond, sending messages with pictures and a brief check in, reassuring us that Buster was fine - the pictures gave us real evidence that he was indeed a happy camper, and honestly some of the photos made it seem like he was having a better time than if we’d been home! Haha, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Garrett 100% to anyone, and will definitively be going to him first whenever we need Buster care in the future. Thank you, Garrett!!!”
12. Mankamal D.
“Mankamal was very kind and took great care of my two kitties while I was away. She also sent photos with every drop in which I greatly appreciated. When I came back, the kitties looked very relaxed and well taken care of! Thanks so much. :)”
13. Jessica A.
“Jessica is very nice and my dogs are well taken care of with her. I was really nervous to find a caretaker that I didn’t know, but it’s been great and we will definitely continue asking her to care for our pups.”
14. Olivia J.
“Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog - and so, so communicative. My dog loved her right away! I couldn't be happier - I've already rebooked her twice.”
15. Mikayla & Justin W.
About: Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊 I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet. I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.
16. Marsela R.
“Marsela was a wonderful cat-sitter — intuitive, caring, communicative. Even with my particularly shy cat I felt relieved knowing she was being cared for attentively! Would absolutely recommended Marsela.”
17. Emmery K.
“Emmery would be a fantastic caregiver for any family and any type of pet, providing attentive, nonjudgmental care. She has two furry friends at her childhood home who she has taken care of for over 15 years. Calling them her “everything” wouldn’t even begin to capture their importance in her life. She is perfect for this position as she misses them dearly while living away from her parent’s house. You will find her to be trustworthy, respectful, diligent, and kind - you will not be disappointed.”
18. Mengdongxue H.
“Mengdongxue was an incredibly reliable and caring pet setter for my kitty! A true lifesaver when my pet care plans had fallen through last-minute. I loved all the photos and updates, and could tell my cat really liked her. I would absolutely recommend Mengdongxue to anyone!”
19. Diana A.
“Diana was great. We did a virtual meet and greet; but it went well! She showed up and took great care of the dogs and even fed them! Would definitely book again!”
20. Anthony C.
“Great communication and photos!! Glad we could have him spend some time with our pup before she boards with him!!”
