“Karinna was great. For my first time using Rover she definitely put me at ease. I loved seeing the updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking with Karinna again the next time I need a sitter.”

“Julia was wonderful with our pup Koda! She gave him lots of love and attention during her visit, and even managed to coax our cat out to say hello, which never happens with friends she is familiar with, let alone new ones! We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of our furry family members, and we couldn’t be happier with her visit. Highly recommend!”

Mikayla K.

“Rachel is so kind and caring to my crazy dog Nash! Not everyone can handle him but she does a fantastic job and leaves detailed reports of her visit! Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with a family dog all my life and now have my own! I have loved and trained him since he was a puppy and consistently receive compliments on how he is such a good boy and how well-behaved he is! I have always enjoyed taking care of doggos for family and friends and am very excited to help take care of yours! I am very good with dogs of all ages including young puppies in their teething and potty training phase to senior dogs who want cuddles and sniffs. I am available for house sitting and will spoil your pet with attention, play time, and walks while you are off enjoying your vacation or trip. I am also available for drop-ins and walks! You can count on me to keep your pets safe and happy :-) I have a very flexible summer schedule and can keep your pets on the their typical routines! I am happy to follow any special instructions you have your doggo! Every pet is unique and my goal is to take care of your pet as you would so you can be care-free while you are away and sleep easy knowing your pet is in good hands. You can trust me to keep your pets safe and your home exactly as you left it. I will treat your home as if it was my own, just like your pet.

“Was very punctual and communicative. Took multiple pictures and sent them to me when the drop in visit was over.y dogs loved him and took to him immediately.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!

“Wyatt has warmed up to Pat so much and they enjoy their play time together! I’m so happy to have someone be able to let my little pup out while we’re at work. Thank you!”

“Sammy was great showed up on time and played with My Boys when she was there she always sent me updates and pics and my boys were taken care of very well. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I had a whole slew of my own animals at home from horses to little snakes and everything in between. I absolutely love working and volunteering with all ages of dogs and cats, I personally have dealt with and endless amount of fresh babies and end of life care seniors. I’m open to whatever they throw at me, that’s the best part! I’ve worked with aggressors, muzzled sweetie pies, and the dopiest pups all over. Let me learn their personality and I’ll tailor myself to whatever they need! I come home to my mini zoo every day! I do long walks, yoga with the kitties, exciting feeding times, and lots of chilling out in the barn or on the couch, whichever lil friend needs the most. I spend all my time with shelter animals if I’m not at home, or if I’m at work I’ll be scrolling on Petfinder seeing what I can manage and provide for LOL Id love to use the term “gentle paw-renting,” but honestly it can be chaotic at times and you just have to go with the flow! I prefer to be chilled out with your little babies and just shower all the love, but if they need to go run around the block and rip some cardboard up, let’s do it and I’ll make sure your home is just as it was prior to my visit :) you deserve stress free and they deserve a nourishing and fun filled day!

“This was our second time using Riley She’s great with communication and I love getting pics of our fur babies. It’s a great peace of mind knowing we can go away and they are taken care of”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from watching relatives dogs to neighbors across the street. I personally have two large German Shepards in Connecticut. I’ve volunteered at MSPCA in Boston and worked with puppies there. I’m very patient with dogs of all ages and activity levels! I am available all day! I am home for the summer after graduating college, so I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends! I have a very large living room with plenty of space for animals! I also have a large yard for them to walk around and love going on walks with dogs.

About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time during the school year (August 20 - June 15; leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. During the summer I am home and available during the daytime as well. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.

“Rachel did a couple last minute drop-ins for me and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet to meet my shy pup Kiva beforehand. Despite the meet & greet, Kiva was still wary and Rachel was very patient with her as Kiva got more comfortable. Thank you Rachel, I appreciate you!”

About: Hello and welcome to our Rover page! My name is Katie, and my husband Matt and I are a pet-loving family with two daughters, Autumn (11) and Keiley (8), who absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and experienced around dogs. I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life, and over the past 13 years of marriage, Matt and I raised two amazing dogs, Bella and Jack. They were truly our first babies and meant the world to us. After losing them due to age and health, we realized we’re not quite ready to start over with a new dog of our own. Instead, we’ve found so much joy in opening our home to care for other families’ dogs while they travel. This journey began during a time of transition for our family, and while it has helped us financially, the truth is—we do this because we genuinely love dogs. Every pup that comes into our home is treated like a member of the family, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and cuddles. We don’t offer anything less than that. We provide everything your dog may need during their stay, including crates, dog gates, beds, bowls, and treats. Dogs enjoy outdoor time on a leash or lead (we do not have a fenced yard), as well as regular walks and playtime. Three days a week, either Matt or I are home full-time, ensuring your pup has plenty of companionship and minimal alone time. We currently host a maximum of two dogs at a time to ensure each one receives the attention they deserve. In the rare case of a double booking, we always communicate with both families beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We also offer doggy daycare on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We’ve been lucky to meet so many wonderful families and pups, and we would love the opportunity to meet you and yours next. Please feel free to reach out—we can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home! I currently work part-time which allows me more time to be home to care for your pups. Our current schedule is Mondays and Fridays pups would be alone. Tuesdays and Thursdays Matt works from home. And Wednesday is my day off. Dogs will either be walked or can be on a lead for more area with someone outside with them. Dogs will receive a lot of attention from all of us.

“Elizabeth is wonderful, reliable and loves Max. We are fortunate to have her take care of Max when we have trips or to drop in and ck in him. We feel relaxed knowing she will be there with Max.”
