About: Hi All!! I have personal and professional pet care experience! Not only have I had the pleasure of owning a variety of my own animals (dogs, cats and small animals such as chinchillas) I also have spent many hours volunteering at the humane society preforming all different types of animal care for whatever was assigned to me! I love learning and expanding my knowledge of animals regarding different behavior types based on breeds and I think working with Rover will provide me a fun experience and help me do that! My availability is semi-flexible depending on the location of your home, as I do work Mon-Friday at Backus Hospital. In my own personal free time, I enjoy staying active and traveling with my friends, but I also enjoy staying in with a glass of wine and a good book! I currently work full time at Backus Hospital, do depending on location of your home, I could provide a mid day potty break! Unfortunately, anything outside of the Norwich area, makes mid day check ins challenging. I have one chunky orange cat named Murphy! He roams the house freely but is mostly found on the back of the couch! I have a lot of experience with free roaming pets, crated dogs, and other small caged animals and have the space to house them!
“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”

“Leo came through for us in a clutch situation and exceeded expectations. He was fabulous with our pets and house over the holidays and we are so grateful we found him. His questions were spot on and he sent updates and photos to keep us informed. Five well-earned stars!!!”

“Tiffany is wonderful. Very proactive, lots of communication, so attentive with our girls, and she is really fun to talk to. A great added bonus! We will definitely have her with us again.”

“Emily was AWESOME. Very communicative upfront and during her stay watching Koby. I came back from vacation to a happy dog and a perfect house. Will 100% rebook the next time I vacation.”

“Savannah was wonderful, I would highly recommend her to watch your pet. She always quickly responded to me and sent pictures of my pet to let me know they were comfortable and happy staying at home. I will definitely use her services again without hesitation.”
About: I've cared for my own large and small dogs for many years, as well as for friends and neighbors. I also have experience in administering medication to pets. Overall, I just love being around animals! I am a college student that is home for the summer, so I have ample time to care for your pets throughout the week. Unless something comes up, I should be free to provide care at any time of the week. I am willing and happy to walk your dogs, let them out into the yard, play with them to get their energy out, and get them into a crate or designated area. If you have any other specific instructions for your pet, just let me know!
About: I’ve been caring for a variety of animals for many years. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens, I have a wide range of experience. I strive to find out what works for your pet as an individual to keep them feeling comfortable! I am dog and cat CPR and First Aid Certified by the American Red Cross. I work part time with some flexibility, making pet care available at the time you need it! Tell me what works for you and I’ll see what I can do :) In a clients home I would prioritize respecting their space while caring for their pets. Communication is an important part to trusting someone to watch your pets, I will be happy to work with clients to make sure they’re comfortable.
“Meg is amazing! It was difficult to get my husband to take the leap to hire a stranger but I wish we had done it years ago. Meg followed every instruction, didn't miss a beat, took great care of our animals and house and over delivered. Can't wait to leave again so we know our babies are in great hands again!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, from doodles to labs to shitzus, and can help you with whatever you need! I am fun, energetic, organized, and eager to help.

I am very loving and have no problem with lot of cuddles.
“Nikki did an overnight with our dog Bella. She was very friendly and personable. I received multiple photos and updates during their time together. I felt great peace of mind knowing Nikki was taking care of our girl. We will book with her again in the future. Bella had the best time with her 🤍”

Franklin pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and communicative. Checking in with us often and keeping us updated every step of the way. Not only did she manage four large dogs (no small feat!), but she handled it with grace, patience, and obvious love. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for cozy, and comfortable when we returned. It was clear they were looked after like part of her own family, not just “clients.” Her attention to detail, timely updates, and genuine kindness gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a dependable, caring, and professional sitter. If we ever need someone again — she’s our first call!

Lauren did a great job taking care of our girls while we were away for a long weekend. One of the dogs got quite muddy when she found a friend to play with in the rain on a walk and Lauren had no problem getting her in the shower to clean her up. We will definitely have Lauren watch the girls in the future!
