“I highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs. She took wonderful care of my two dogs—one almost 15 yo super-senior, and one lively but somewhat fearful 3 yo.

“Kellie was fantastic with our Yorkie! She stayed in our home over the weekend and took very good care of our 5 year old teacup Yorkie. Kellie sent us updates and pictures and left our home spotless. We definitely recommend her and will use her again when we are out of town without hesitation.”
“We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.”
“Courtney was a great house/dog sitter for us! She was prompt, professional, eager and enthusiastic. She took great care of our dog, taking her out for multiple walks and play-times each day. Gogo was a happy pup when we returned home! We’ll definitely book Courtney again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for my adopted cat, Eggy, for the past four years, and he’s the sweetest part of my life. I’ve also looked after dogs, including a coworker’s dog while their family was away and my aunt and uncle’s senior diabetic dog. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, and I love being outdoors so walks, hikes, and playtime are always a win. In my free time, I enjoy working out, making pottery, and reading. ☀️ I currently work from home full time so my daily schedule is pretty flexible. If needed, I can bring my laptop to work from as long as there is reliable WiFi. When meeting a pet for the first time, I am always aware of my demeanor and make sure to give them the space to approach me when they’re feeling ready. I keep a calm and patient demeanor to build trust with the new pet, and also make sure to find out if they have any favorite toys.
“Veronica was wonderful! She played with our pup and took her on lots of walks. We got plenty of update photos and videos. She was really respectful of our home and left it very tidy. We’d be happy to have her again!”
“Elizabeth left our house very tidy and our pets very happy! I really liked that she sent updates and pictures to let us know how everything was going. She answered my questions and check-ins quickly.”
About: Hello I am Lily and I’ve been around pets my whole life! I grew up in NYC with three dachshunds (Dexter, Waffles, and Eloise) and now share my home in Branford with two playful cats (Napoleon,and Josephine). Living with so many pets over the years has taught me how much they mean to their families, and I always treat every animal with the same love and care I give my own, like family. By day, I work as a lawyer, but in the evenings and on weekends I dedicate my time to caring for animals. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, my priority is making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and flexible with weekend availability. If you’re looking for someone responsible who will treat your pets like their own, I’d love to help! I do have restrictions in the times that I am free to help out. I am a full-time student in my senior year of high school. Therefore, I am only available after-school hours and on weekends to help out. However, if your building is in gramercy, I can help out during my lunch hour since my school is on 22 and Lexington. In addition, I am unable to have pets stay at my apartment, however, I am available to spend the night at the owner's apartment to help out, if necessary. II look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your dog! Care fits into my routine by combining check ins with quality time. Evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends for feedings, walks, playtime - no matter the length of tome - are all scheduled around my work and personal life to ensure your pet gets the attention, care and companionship it needs. I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved, giving plenty of attention and love and keep their environment clean and secure by following the owners rules and pets routines when it comes to feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. I also communicate with owners regularly to update on how their fur babies are doing.
“Daniella stayed at our house for 2 weeks to take care of our 2y old golden coco. She was amazing both taking care of coco and with our home. She was very communicative and caring. Will definitely look to her for future travels.”
“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”
“Emma was awesome! We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and she was fast to respond to our request. Additionally, she took great care of both of our dogs and house. She is super friendly, great with dogs, and very easy to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Took care of our house and our baby perfectly! We always love updates and Amber was on top of that the whole weekend. Complete with pictures ☺️ Highly recommend booking for her for your next walk or pet-sit needs!”
“I am so grateful that Annee and I have found Jeanne. Annee will be 10 at the end of the month and the older she gets the more she enjoys staying at home. Jeanne is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and loves dogs with all of her heart. I love getting photos when I am away from Annee. I always come home to a happy, healthy dog.”

Emily S.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Emily as a dog walker and pet sitter on Rover! She is an exceptional caregiver with a genuine love for animals that shines through in everything she does. Emily has her own cat, which she adores and cares for with the utmost attention and affection, so she truly understands the needs of pets. I’ve trusted her to watch my cat, Lola, multiple times, and Emily always goes above and beyond to ensure Lola is happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Her patience, reliability, and natural connection with animals make her an outstanding choice for any pet parent looking for someone they can trust. Emily’s passion for animals and her responsible, caring nature make her the perfect caregiver for your furry friends!”

East Haven pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can honestly say that Max is the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! They were able to accommodate the sit on a bit of short notice, not to mention some unexpected medical needs for my dog. I almost didn’t go on my trip because my dog woke up with an eye infection that required medicine the morning I was supposed to leave. Max’s confidence to give her medicine put me at ease so I could still go. They kept me updated on how my pets were doing throughout my trip and gave them all the love/care they needed. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others.
ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! Heather and Chris are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Not only are they extremely sweet, they are professional. Heather is very responsive and will answer any text or call in a heartbeat. She followed all my directions I left and gave my babies amazing care. My little ones are all tuckered out now, which is usually impossible. You can tell this is a passion of hers. She and Chris are so personable and so kind. They stayed at my house to watch my two dogs and they were respectful and cleaned things they didn’t even need to clean. 10/10 recommend.
Marie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous to leave Brady, but Marie made it so easy! She updated us multiple times a day and was always communicative. She left our house spotless and maybe even a bit cleaner than we left it! We would recommend Marie to anyone!
Kristen is the best! She took amazing care of our dog and 2 cats (honestly even better than we do haha), and even vacuumed and cleaned the whole place before we got back. We arrived pretty late at night and she stayed up to keep our dog company. She goes above and beyond for your pets. Couldn't recommend enough.
