About: I am a grad student looking to help with dog sitting. My weekends are devoted to studying and exercising, the perfect combo for hanging out with dogs! My friends have always entrusted me with watching their dogs while they travel. I have tons of experience with dogs of all sizes from shih-tzu's to huskies! Currently, trying to convince my girlfriend to let us get a dog, but excited to make some new dog friends in the meantime! I have full availability on the weekends (Friday 2PM - Monday 7AM). My typical availability during the week is from 5PM-7AM. Outside of these hours I am attending classes. I am a student in the health care profession, so my first concern is always safety. Having lived with a husky for several years, I understand how difficult it can be to get a dog back inside after they have gotten out. I am always extremely careful making sure dogs do not get out of the house without a leash or the owner's permission in a gated area. I also pay very close attention whenever a dog is near other dogs, people, or acting out of the ordinary. I am always reachable by phone for pictures, check-ins, and FaceTimes. I do my best to follow every guideline set forth by the parents and to keep all dogs safe and happy.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, I'm very attentive and respectful, my number one concern is the animal always. Seeing them happy makes me happy. I recently got laid off of my day job and I'm looking to make some extra cash! I myself have to work around a schedule with my dog, so I know how it is. Daily walks morning or evening! Love and affection, playfulness and happiness are key, lots of treats, plenty of love and snuggles, I love my fur baby.
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important routine, patience, and love are to a happy pup. I’ve personally trained my own dog and have years of experience dog sitting for all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone calm and kind to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule—I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my workday to meet their needs and keep them happy and comfortable. In my client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medications, or preferred playtime rituals. I also keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and loved while you’re away
About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking my parents dog for 5 years and have done the same with other friends dogs as well. I love dogs and will gladly help other dog owners take care of there pups in anyway i can! As a teacher, my summers are open and i couldn’t think of a better part time job to help fill the space. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 3pm-6pm until June 10th and after that, on those same dates, 11am-3pm. On weekends i am available 9am-12 noon. I cannot host pets unfortunately due to my condo complex not allowing them. If that policy changes i will gladly host pets in the future.
About: Hi, I’m Q! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and am known for being calm, patient, and understanding with them. I truly believe dogs have beautiful souls, and I treat every one I care for like family. I share my home with Aldi, my sweet and playful 2‑year‑old goldendoodle who loves making new friends. He’s incredibly dog‑friendly and will happily keep your pup company for playtime, walks, and plenty of snuggles. Your dog will enjoy our fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. Inside, we keep a comfortable, pet‑friendly space. My parents do smoke in the kitchen, but there is a fan running at all times and air filters in place to keep the home fresh and clean. What your dog can expect: • A fun playmate in Aldi for social dogs • Plenty of walks, yard time, and cuddle sessions • A clean, dog‑friendly home with safety and comfort in mind • Consistent updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our pack and make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently home full-time and also taking care of my dog and would love some extra company. My dog and I enjoy walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We also occasionally go hiking as well. I have some tick spray, but you might want to provide your own. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly home. I am very respectful, neat, and detail oriented and will accommodate for your dog’s special needs. I must add, however, that there are ducks in the backyard. Unless the dog is very aggressive, it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Casie has walked my dog for me several times (on a regular basis). To say the least, she is very responsive, flexible, and attentive - and always sends updates/pictures. I plan on continuing to have her watch my pup for me. Thank you so much for everything. We appreciate your time and effort. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember and have 10 years of veterinary technician experience under my belt. That being said, I am willing to administer medication, treatments or provide any special requests while caring for your pet. Due to the nature of my work, I have experience with basic training and reinforcing any current training methods you may be practicing. I am also very skilled at handling reactive/excitable dogs. I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, farm animals and exotics. I had my own rescue farm in Florida & am comfortable with looking after livestock in addition to house pets. I have extensive experience with hospice, palliative & chronic illness support so I am comfortable caring for pets in all stages of their life. I believe that I have a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I can assure you that your pets, of all kind, will be well cared for and treated as if they were my own. Feel free to contact me to discuss pricing & availability. Discounted rates for extended stays & multiple consecutive visits. I have taken a sabbatical from working in a vet hospital setting and am currently working for myself, from home. This allows me to accommodate most scheduling needs, that your pet may require. I will be sure to follow all precautions when visiting your home to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether it’s leashed walks or playtime in the backyard you can rest assured that they will be safe with me!
“Amber has been great! She worked with me and pup to get him comfortable with her before she took him on any walks! My guy has never had a dog walker and is stranger reactive, but loves Amber! His favorite part of the day is his walk with her!”
About: Who said diamonds were a girls best friend?! Moving away from my pup was easily one of the lows of my college experience! I'm a recent college grad from Temple University and I work in journalism in CT. With this being said, mornings, and evenings during the week, and any time on weekends are great for me! I'm able to care for small to medium sized dogs, and puppies. Whether your dog is rambunctious & active or mellow & likes naps it’s no problem for me. I'm able to feed, play and watch over your dog and I know of a lot of great dog parks:) For your own piece of mind I'll keep you updated around how the day is going, and send pictures by the hour of your furry friend. I'm quick to respond to inquiries so if you have any questions/concerns or last minute requests please don't hesitate to reach out! I have my own cockapoo and his name is Bentley! Although he lives at my parents house I have a lot of experience in basic pet care. I always treat any home as if it’s my own. If you have any specific requests just let me know of course . . .
“Steve is great! He’s was very good with our two boys and was very friendly with us. He was very comfortable giving them treats and they were happy to walk with him. He kept a regular schedule and always reported on the walks (two walks per day for 4 weeks). We would highly recommend his services. Five stars are not enough!”
About: When I was younger, I would walk home from school and take care of many dogs all around my neighborhood. Whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, letting them out to play, or simply just spending some quality time with them, it was always the highlight of my day! I am always eager to meet a new furry friend! I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford, and am looking to move to New York City in the fall to pursue an acting career. I’m taking some time off at home right now and would love to take care of your furry friend! I can accommodate to any special need you require for your pet. As a dog owner, I understand the personalized care each home provides for their dog or cat. It is vital to me that your pet is as comfortable with me as they are with their owner!

Christopher S.
“Let me be very clear on this matter; there is simply no other person I would want watching, caring for, or spending time my dog more than Chris. I’ve had the pleasure of leaving my golden retriever, the absolute joy of my life, in Chris’s care on multiple occasions. Each time I’ve had nothing to worry about besides the fact that my boy may like Chris better than me. Chris is the quintessential dog lover. He respects and understands the differences between the way we all raise our pups. There is not a more responsible or friendly person to watch your dog.”
Nicola P.Star Sitter
“To Rover Pets I wholeheartedly recommend Nicola Pesce without reservation. She is a trustworthy, responsible and compassionate individual who will be a valuable asset to your team. Nicola is reliable but also genuinely caring and attentive to the specific needs of animals. I have observed her interacting with pets. She loves her dog and does on him. Nicola's love for animals is evident and she has a natural talent for understanding and interacting with different personalities. I feel confident that she will provide excellent care for any pet entrusted to her. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Ann Dittman”

Paige B.
“If I could choose one person in this world to watch my fur-babies, it would be Paige. Her love for animals started young, always caring for her pets like they were human siblings! This loved carried into her adult life and career, where she has become a certified veterinarian technician and has volunteered at multiple wildlife/rescue non-profits. From fostering kittens to rescuing injured animals on the side of the road, Paige's life truly revolves around caring for creatures big and small. Pet-sitting for Paige is a no-brainer. She has watched my three dogs on multiple occasions and I've never had to worry for a second about their care. Photos, videos, text updates...she made sure that my mind was at ease and my doggies were well-loved while I was away. Do yourself the favor and choose Paige as your pet-sitter. You will thank me later! -Kristin B., friend of 20+ years”
