“Saskia was Amazing. She communicated throughout the entire trip and sent me Wonderful pictures everyday. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be looking forward to having her take care of our dog in the future.”
“Stephanie and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Kiara! They were available last minute and were very flexible about when we could drop her off and pick her off. Thank you both so much for your help :) will definitely be booking again!”
“Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!”
“Kim is absolutely fantastic! Just a quality person and it’s apparent that she cares about the pups she’s watching. I know ours can be a bit of a handful sometimes but she handled him with aplomb. So thankful we found her on here!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Artemis was very happy in photo updates wa received and was happy at our return as well as seemed sad to be leaving as we drove away. Starla was very kind and informative and will definitely use her again with our puppy needs”
“Penny was very responsive and flexible with our schedule. She took great care of Trouble, including giving him his medications and eye drops, and he got to hang out with her adorable dachshund Frank! We’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Olivia was fantastic. While we were gone we had a record breaking snow storm . She sent me a picture of Miska with her own outdoor path. I felt confident that she was well cared for. She went above and beyond to accommodate our late return home.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I walk my dog everyday and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! We go out in all kinds of weather unless it is dangerous to be out. My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard
“Nicole is the best!! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog Cody was in great hands. Nicole took photos and gave updates often. Would highly recommend Nicole and will use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and often care for friends’ pups while they’re away. I understand dog body language and believe dogs have feelings and miss their people just as much as we miss them! I’ll treat your pup like family, providing a safe, happy, loving home with plenty of attention and affection. I’m always happy to send photos, videos, and even FaceTime so you can see how your little one is doing! My 15 lb, 8 year old dog, Maisy, is sweet, mellow, and loves having a friend to chase squirrels with! She’s happiest with other friendly, easygoing dogs, so very high energy or overly playful pups wouldn’t be the best fit. Think of me as your pup’s personal nanny making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! ❤️ I am my own boss so I make my own schedule . I work from home full time . My dog gets 2 to 3 walks a day . Full run of fenced in back yard and a sunny deck . I have a fenced in yard. I am also close to the beach and can take them for a beach walk . I love throwing a ball or snuggling whatever your pet needs .
About: I’ve been a pet and animal owner my entire life. We have 3 young kids who love to play and one energetic 4 year old dog who also loves to play, so your pet would get a lot of play time at this house! I have lots of availability this summer, so reach out to me for specifics. Once fall hits and I’m back at school, I’ll be available for weekends. We have one friendly dog to keep yours company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we take frequent walks throughout the day. Our dog sleeps upstairs in the bedroom with us, but we do have a crate available if needed.
“It was a pleasure having Lynn watch Elliot. Elliot loved his stay. Lynn was great at communicating and provided frequent updates. I would happily let Lynn watch Elliot again!”
“Salma was great! Luckily we live close to each other so drop off and pick up was easy. Her large apartment fit ellie just fine and she sent pictures throughout the day. Ellie was tired once she got home, so she got plenty of exercise. I'd recommend Salma to a friend.”
About: i have had animals for 18 years. beautiful cats and, for the past 3.5 years, an amazing dog. i live in a home on 3 acres of land. my cat is indoor only. animals and i connect easily and quickly. i am here to love them and care for them so that you can do whatever needs to be done! i am a middle school spanish teacher. i am gone from 7am until 3pm. i am at home otherwise! home on the weekends full time! i am attentive, caring and experienced. i will provide any necessary care with love and attention to detail. it is incredibly important to me that human owners feel comfortable and safe in taking care of their own needs, while their incredible animals are protected and cared for.
About: I have been pet sitting for over 5 years and grew up on a farm around horses, dogs, and cats. I have a passion for boarding dogs and making a dog feel safe and at home with me while their owners are away. I am highly active myself and love having a dog join me on my daily walks throughout the day. I love making new friends with the dogs and the clients I get! I work part-time right now, and I try to schedule my day care, boarding, and walks around my work schedule. I like to be one-on-one with your dogs, so I can focus most of my attention on one dog at a time. I have a fenced yard at my house, and I like to offer about three walks per day, depending on your dog's exercise needs. I will make time for exercise, playing, and downtime inside with me or crate time, which I can offer depending on the needs of the animals. I offer in-home stays, and I am also willing to travel short distances if you need someone to live-in with your pet.
“Isabelle was great! She sent pictures throughout the stay and responded to texts immediately. Will definitely be using her again! Convenient drop-off and pick-up. My dog came home clean and happy!”

Tina and her family are fabulous. We trust them completely with taking wonderful care of our dear Barry.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
