“Once again, we had an amazing experience having Emily take care of our two cats while we were away. Our new kitten warmed up to her immediately and she was amazing about helping to get his energy out and giving him plenty of cuddle time. We always look forward to her updates and great photos and definitely plan to utilize her help and care again in the future :)”


“Jen was a wonderful cat sitter for my very shy cat, coaxing her out gently each day and helping set routines while I was away for two weeks. Jen is so caring, kind, and helpful — would absolutely recommend!”


About: Hello! my name is Kayla and I have owned a dog for a long as I can remember starting at age 4. I also worked at a doggie daycare for about three years where I obtained experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Daily tasks there included: play time, food prep and feeding, and medication administration. I currently work 3 days a week, so I have a ton of availability on my days off! Those days can differ from week to week so feel free to reach out and I will let you know if I’m available I am confident in my ability to keep your pup safe during our interactions. I am cognizant that’s dogs may rush the door when a new visitor is arriving, i am always checking doors behind me. If your pup needs to be fed during my visit I will be thorough in following any feeding directions you leave.

“This was my second time booking with Jessica, and once again she did a great job! My cats were well cared for, and I appreciated the updates while I was away. Highly recommend!!”


“Carl (my cat) was so well looked after while I was away! We did drop in visits and as per usual I came home to a happy kitty. :) I received daily updates and cute pics while I was away - highly recommend!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, including raising multiple litters of puppies! Currently, I live with four dogs and have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need gentler care. I truly love spending time with dogs, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them the affection they deserve. Pet care comes naturally to me, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently preparing for college, so I’m using my flexible schedule this summer to offer pet care services. I love walking and spending time outside, so daily dog walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m responsible and organized, so you can trust me to be on time and keep your pet happy and safe. In both my home and yours, your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they’re in a clean, secure space, and always follow your care instructions carefully. Whether it’s administering food, keeping them active, or making sure they’re comfortable, I treat every pet with love and respect.

About: Very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

“Katelyn took great care of my cat and bunny while we were away. They are both quite needy with attention and I could tell they were both very happy for her visits. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been an animal-lover since elementary school. I’ve had cats since birth, but at age 8 I saved my money up for a year to buy my own cat and I’ve been taking care of animals ever since. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as birds, reptiles, rodents, and aquariums (freshwater, saltwater, and reef.) I even have experience caring for wild animals in a rehabilitation setting, so administering medication or accommodating special needs is no problem! I love finding ways to provide enrichment in your pet’s life. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to get to know your pet’s individual needs and provide plenty of love and patience! I’ll be starting graduate school in the fall, so I’m looking for flexible hours doing things I love! I am available for drop in visits or overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you and be flexible depending on your needs! I would love to spend some time talking with you to understand your pet’s individual needs so that I can provide the best care necessary! I am very patient and caring, so challenging animals are not a problem. If your pet has any special needs I am happy to learn more about what I can do to accommodate for that! I have experience caring for animals in a rehabilitation setting so administering medications or making accommodations for animals is something I’m experienced with!

“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!”


About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.

“Brittany was wonderful! My two cats loved her. She was very attentive, communicative, and experienced with animals.”


“Sophia did a great job with our cat, Kiwi. In the past - when we had to leave him overnight or be away - we would come back to him being very upset or having gone to the bathroom everywhere. But this time around, there was no mess - and he was very calm. So we're grateful that she was able to spend time with him.”


“Leah was an excellent cat sitter! Our cats are very shy and she was able to socialize with one of them which is a big step. We really appreciate her help taking care of them!”



“Hired Emily to do drop in visits on our pets during our Wedding weekend. We have 2 big dogs and a cat, she was great with all of them. Sent plenty of great photos and gave good updates, plus the animals loved her. Would definitely recommend and will be my go to if we need a pet sitter again.”


“Stephanie is great. My kitties are very antisocial but Stephanie always finds them so she can send me pictures so I know they are ok. She goes above and beyond keeping the kitty areas clean. She is very reliable. I highly recommend her.”

Sophia P.
“Sophie is the best! For the past few years when I’ve traveled, Sophie moves in and takes care of my 14 yr old cat. He’s a cuddler and loves to play, but he also requires meds by syringe and has GI issues that can be sort of…gross. Because she was a Montessori teacher, Sophie was unflappable, calm and capable in all things. She’s very responsive by text/phone, and always sent pictures of my cat while I traveled which was a comfort. She’s friendly, smart, and has a good sense of humor. You’ll love Sophie!”

East Haven dog parents share their Rover experiences
stephanie was amazing to my girl pibble. she truly exceeded all expectations. every visit came with pictures of how pibble was doing and i could tell she loved stephanie and how she cared for her. 100% will be using stephanie’s services again!

Anna is so delightful and clearly a dog lover. She communicated so well and sent loads of pictures/videos (which I love). It made me feel so at ease knowing she was there with my pups and watching them clearly enjoy spending time with her. Will definitely use Anna in the future. She’s so thoughtful, kind and I’m so grateful I found her.

Excellent sitter for our new puppy. Lots of thoughtful updates and pics. We felt rest assured the entire time. Happy to have met Heather and will surely use her again.
