“Anely was incredible! Hands down the best! She kept me updated with my fur babies the whole day. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their doggies. Thank you again Anely! I will for sure get you again if I need a doggie sitter :)”

“Elba is so kind!! She took our pup right in and took great care of her. She was super communicative throughout the day, sending pics and videos. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.

“Dorota and Wayne are the BEST hosts ever!! Ricky loves going to stay with them! They have a HUGE yard where Ricky loves to play. They have wonderful dogs of their own who Ricky loves to play with. They're usually hosting a bunch of other great dogs, so it's always a big doggie party at their place!! They treat Ricky like one of their own, he has the run of their yard, their house, and their bedroom...he feels right at home!! The best part is Dorota sends LOADS of pictures everyday so we can see first hand what a great time Ricky is having when he stays with them!!! They even Facetimed with us!! We highly recommend Dorota!!”
“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”
“Keasha was fantastic! I definitely hope to be a repeat customer of hers, for sure. She kept me updated throughout the day and she and her son were so welcoming to my pup, who’s really anxious around new people.”

“Valerie was EXCELLENT! My 1.5 yo pup Lucy is a little anxious away from me due to being home with me throughout the pandemic. Valerie did a great job allowing her to take her time getting comfortable as well as successfully introducing Lucy to cats. By the end of the day Lucy was able to lay down next to the cats. Something I thought was impossible before. All in all Valerie provided a welcoming environment!”


About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Michelle is such a great sitter! She kept me updated throughout the day with notes and photos, and she checked in when Chaia seemed to be sleeping more than usual (she was exhausted from playing with her sister the day before). Michelle is super thoughtful and I plan to have Chaia stay with her again!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to a sweet senior terrier I adopted six years ago. Caring for him through his golden years—with all the quirks and health needs that come with age—has given me deep experience and compassion for senior dogs. I understand the extra attention, patience, and love they deserve, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit. My partner and I work from home and share the responsibility of caring for each pup. Whether it’s medication time, a midday cuddle, or just keeping a watchful eye, your pet will never feel alone or overlooked. We’re a team when it comes to creating a calm, loving environment for animals. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, we’re here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I currently work from home on Monday and Friday! My boyfriend who lives with me works from home everyday so we always have someone at home! I do not mind coming to the clients home to take care of your pet! I have a dog of my own as well. I live in a condo that has a backyard.

About: I truly treat pets like family, maybe even more. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve personally trained and cared for them throughout the years. I currently have two cats as well, so I’m very comfortable managing different types of pets and personalities. I volunteer in a shelter twice a month to help with walks and play time. I walk my dog once or twice a day and maintain a consistent routine, which helps pets feel safe, active, and happy. I also have experience around farm animals, since my mom has a farm in Brazil, where I’ve spent time helping care for a variety of animals. This has given me a broader understanding of animal behavior and needs. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and genuine love for animals. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day, including weekends. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following your instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or special care for puppies or senior pets. Communication is very important to me. I’ll make sure to keep you updated and ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, caring environment, just like part of the family. I work from home, so I’m usually around and available throughout the day. I walk my dog in the morning, around lunchtime, and again in the evening, which helps keep a consistent routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. If I step away, it’s usually just for a short call or meeting, so your pet will never be left alone for long. I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m also always available to answer any questions and keep you updated during the day. Pets in my home are treated like family and are free to move around and feel comfortable. I live in a two-level raised ranch with plenty of space, and my pets are friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog and cats get along well, so visiting pets can feel relaxed and part of the environment. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy some outdoor time. That said, I always follow each owner’s preferences, if your dog needs to be crated, kept on a specific routine, or has any special instructions, I’m happy to accommodate. My neighborhood is quiet and safe, with many dog owners nearby, which makes it a great environment for walks and daily activity. And I also work as a volunteer in a shelter and I’m very used to different types of dogs. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure your pet feels secure and at home.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that. Working from home and setting my own schedule means your pet isn't an afterthought squeezed between meetings — they're just part of the day, naturally. I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.

“Parys loves being with Briana and her pups! Briana is a great caregiver. I like that Parys has social activity and comes home pretty clean. There’s turf and that helps with keeping clean. No dirt digging😁. Thanks Briana!”


“Rich is a great guy, treated my puppy like if she was one of his own. Was my first time having my puppy in a doggy day care and I’d have her in his doggy day care any day. Was understanding and just an all around great person. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a doggy day care for their fur baby.”

“Sonia is fantastic! Her regular check-Ins and photo updates are so appreciated. Wonderful, big fenced in yard for pups to play! Her dog Lola is terrific too. Both days we came home with a very tired, happy pup! Definitely recommend!”

“Jessica is a GEM!!!! I was nervous about finding someone to take care of my pup who can be nervous in new situations/people and had some health stuff going on, but Jessica did everything to make her feel comfortable and cared for, and now my girl LOVES hanging out with Jessica and Abu!! Jessica also did everything to make ME, nervous dog mom, comfortable by sending lots of sweet videos and pictures of my pup having a grand ol' time. Jessica is the best!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and currently own three cats and one dog! I live in a big house with a fenced backyard. I have worked professionally as a pet caregiver/sitter and I currently work from home so I can have full attention on your pet! This included feeding, watering, cleaning litter, playing with, walking, giving medication, bathing (if necessary), and most importantly the cuddles. I can tend to special diets and any other requests. I am very passionate about animals and love taking care of a wide variety of pets! My dog, Oscar, is a 25lb sweet Jack Russel Terrier and is really good with other dogs and cats. He enjoys playing with other pups and going to the dog park. I have experienced taking care of others pets and understand the responsibility. I can give medications to both cats and dogs, if needed! I am pretty flexible with animals and their care. I work remotely from home from 9-5 pm and have a pretty flexible schedule! I am able to give my full attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard that we let our pup Oscar out in and we frequently give walks. Oscar is crate trained but we haven't used it in over two years. He gets fed twice daily and him and the cats just live symbolically in the same home.

Hartford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Without a doubt 5 stars! ✨ We were in the area for the weekend and one of the days we had an activity that our dog was not able to come with. Our dog can be strong willed and will take advantage of his size if he thinks he can get away with it. I initially chose Rich/aka Kemba on Rover because his profile pic was with an Akita! Regardless of that, Kemba was the perfect match for Rocky! He sent us some photos of their adventures out and about, and a sweet video walking (with a loose leash, no one was being pulled like a kite!) with a friend's dog. Our drop off and pickup was super smooth. Kemba made a suggestion for our meeting location that made it easy and he delivered Rocky to us at our Airbnb at the end of the afternoon. I felt complete confidence in Kemba's judgement and care with our boy.

Isabel took wonderful care of Dexter this week! We so enjoyed her thoughtful and informative daily updates. She made sure he was comfortable, following his usual daily schedule and fostering positive and playful interactions with her dog Griggs. We are grateful for her proactive and in-depth communication and her timely pickups and dropoffs. She is a dog sitting gem!

Connie took really good care of my dog for the day. He wasn’t acting right (barking and whining constantly), so Connie took him on long walks and communicated VERY well. She tried my suggestions but they didn’t help. This was the first time he has been like this and I couldn’t have asked for a sitter to handle this any better than Connie did. I recommend her to others whole heartedly. Thanks Connie!
