“Sai was fantastic with watching Max while we were away for the holiday weekend! There was a ton of updates with photos of how he was doing, and Sai was awesome at communicating based on my schedule while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I’m familiar with the care, attention, and patience that dogs need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their usual routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can work with your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the stay so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and responsibility. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and any specific instructions you provide, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure and communicate with you regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.
About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I work remotely on Mondays, which gives me flexibility during the day. Evenings I am available after 5:30pm to check-in on your fur babies. I also have more times available over the weekend. I can provide care between 10am-10pm on weekends, but I am unable to indicate that given the app settings. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.
“Hazard took amazing care of my two cats. She sent daily photos and videos and even cute report cards. You can tell the cats were well cared for because they did not appear scared or anxious, she even had a whole room full of toys and scratches for them to feel at home.”
“Christina and her family took such wonderful care of Henney and treated her like she was her own dog. When Henney had diarrhea during her stay, she was so attentive and thoughtful, and kept trying to figure out what would help her feel better. Henney looked so happy and comfortable with her, which made me feel completely at ease. I’m truly grateful for all the love and care she gave Henney, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Henney again!”
“I appreciated that Valerie offered a meet and greet prior to caring for our dog. It went very well and it was clear that she can be trusted with our dog that we love so much. She cared for our dog for a long weekend and was sure to send pics and detailed updates daily. We will definitely ask Valerie to watch our dog again in the future as she assured his safety and happiness while we were gone.”
“Honestly we could not be more pleased with Jill. She is a true dog lover and a wonderful person to deal with. We literally felt like we were leaving our Golden Retriever with a family member! I highly recommend her.”
About: Since childhood, taking in and rehabilitating stray animals has been a huge part of my life. No matter the breed, my goal is to provide high quality care and love. I’ve provided plenty of dog sitting and cat care to friends and family over the years. I am a travel nurse (originally from florida) and I am desperately missing my fur babies back home! I’m hoping this will provide the opportunity for some quality time with other people’s fur babies to fill the gap temporarily <3 I currently work 3 days per week as a travel nurse, leaving my 4 days off open to spend time with your babies! I have no other obligations or duties during my off days, so that time is strictly dedicated to your pet. I do not currently have any of my own pets in my home nor any children. I am able to provide several walks for exercise and outside time. My home is very quiet and calm, providing a safe space for your pet with minimal stress.
“She was so communicative, she send pictures ! She follows the schedule which I love , she teach them tricks. Her cats are amazing with dogs. Thank you for looking after Milo.”
“Spencer and his fiance Meghan were wonderful! Super kind, extremely communicative. They often texted me photos and updates on peaches and she seemed very comfortable in the photos. I am looking forward to working with them in the future.”
“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“We are very happy with the care and attention Jessica and Ian gave to our 11 month old puppy. We were continually updated on how things were going which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Many thanks!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
“Jenna was extremely accommodating and communicative when I had a last minute need for my dogs for 2 nights. Since we were in town for a family wedding, she even let family come visit them one afternoon. The girls had a great time with Jenna and her family.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamden
As a pet mom whose dog is basically her child, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paola and her family. Finding them has been a true blessing. Before booking, I had never left my dog, Reggie, with anyone other than family in the four years I've had him, so I was understandably nervous. Paola took the time to meet with us beforehand, and both her family and her dog, Rolly, quickly bonded with Reggie. I have since booked with Paola a second time and continue to be impressed by her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and communication. She regularly sends photos and updates, giving me complete peace of mind. I am confident that Reggie is loved and cared for as if he were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Paola as a pet sitter and look forward to booking with her again. I know Reggie will always have a wonderful time in her care.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Luci! She takes such amazing care of CoCo and always makes sure he sticks to his routines. One of my favorite things about her, and a huge reason I continue to book with her, is how responsive and attentive she is. She keeps me updated every step of the way with messages and plenty of photos, which I absolutely love and appreciate. I can always tell CoCo is happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. I highly recommend Luci to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet!!
Brianna and her girlfriend are the best! She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and took amazing care of my boys. While she was watching Simba, it happened to be his birthday, and she went above and beyond by getting him a gift, celebrating him, and making sure he was spoiled with treats all day. She was also great about sending pictures and updates, which I absolutely loved. The dogs adjusted right away and truly made themselves at home - literally. Simba took over the couch, and Wes claimed her dog's bed as his own. I would recommend Brianna 1,000 times over and will definitely be booking with her again!
