“Nicole is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our pets: boarded our dog and dropped in on our cat. Both have medical needs and special diets that she managed well too. Honestly our pets were better cared for by her than a local boarding facility we've used in the past, and she provided daily updates and photos which gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommend her and would definitely hire again!”

About: Patient, caring, and experienced with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and multiple pets. Reliable care with lots of playtime, cuddles, and love, plus daily photo updates to give you peace of mind. I work full time during the day but have plenty of availability most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays during the week for quality pet care. Pets in my care enjoy a fenced-in yard and a peaceful neighborhood perfect for walks. I have two friendly, socialized large dogs, but if your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated for everyone's comfort and safety.

When caring for a client’s animal companion in their homes, I always make sure to conduct a consultation (meet and greet) so that I am introduced to the companions before providing services. This ensures that your animal companions feel safe and secure with someone they are familiar with while I am in their home. This is used to establish what boundaries and needs your animal companion needs from me while you are away. Safety is the most important aspect of my job for your animal companions.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. My family always had dogs when I was growing up, and I currently have a 1 year old bulldog! I work from home 3 days a week and I’m in the office 2 days a week. I am usually home most weekends as well. I live in a condo complex, my building is very far off the street. I have a 1 year old English/French Bulldog mix to keep your furry friend company, and a back deck with a big back yard for them to run around and play in.

“Sabrina is the best! She introduced my timid Elvis to her 2 little dogs and they became fast friends. She was very concerned Elvis wouldn't eat, so she offered to cook him some chicken. After a walk in the woods, she found a tick on him and pulled it out. She sent me pictures of the dogs playing together. My favorite was of him cuddling up to her. I will definitely ask her to watch my baby again.”

Shannon was really great with our dog. She listens to their needs, is home most of the time and goes above and beyond to be sure they feel comfortable. We’ve used Shannon as a dog sitter twice so far, both times almost a full week and we were very happy!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
