“Caprice took care of my cat like her own, spent lot od time with him, played with him, and did anything she could to make our time apart more comfortable for him.”

“Heath is absolutely fantastic! They are super conscientious, kind, and wonderful about sending us photos and updates. Also, Heath has a way with animals, making them feel safe and cared for - our cat who is normally skittish around strangers turned into butter around them. We highly recommend Heath!!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“Jayla was great. Available on short notice, super reliable, and always quick to respond. My pets were well cared for, and I really appreciated how easy they made everything. Would definitely book again.”

About: I grew up in a family that loved dogs of all kinds! Since I was a child I’ve walked, played, and cared for dogs. Currently I’m a dog mom to two big labs who I’ve had since they were puppies and have trained me well on how to take good care of furry friends. I would love to walk or sit for your pet! I’m skilled with walking excitable dogs, handling reactive dogs, giving meds, and caring for puppies. I can’t wait to play with your furry friend! I’m available for walks/check ins before early weekday mornings and Monday-Thursday after 4:30 pm. Im also free Friday afternoons for walks and check ins. I’m available for all services Friday evenings through the weekend! My weekday schedule fluctuates so I often have more flexibility in my days! I would love to chat about what you need and will do my best to make it work! I treat my dogs like family and will do the same for yours, while also respecting your rules! I’m used to giving my dogs lots of treats for good behavior and having dogs on furniture.
About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
About: I was a pet sitter when I lived in Portland, Maine, where I had regular clients, including a family with show dogs. This family had dogs, goats and cats and I watched them regularly, staying at their house. I grew up with family dogs. I now have cats and love them so much. I am currently working part time so have a lot of flexibility to tend to the needs of your beloved cats and dogs. Depending on my work schedule, I would visit morning or afternoon. I will make sure to take care of your pets and clean up any messes they make, so you'll come home to a house as clean and organized as you left it.
“Was kind, punctual, and really great with my cats. Even my shy little boy opened up to him very quickly. I was nervous hiring a cat sitter but im very pleased with how Noah helped”

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”

About: Raised in a household where every animal was treated like family, I offer patient and attentive care for a wide range of companions. From high-energy dogs and affectionate cats to smaller specialized pets, I pride myself on understanding their unique instincts and personalities. Experienced Care for All Companions Dogs & Cats: I am comfortable with all temperaments—from senior dogs and shy rescues to "velcro" cats like my own who crave constant affection. Small & Unique Pets: My experience extends to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I understand that smaller animals require a gentle touch and strict adherence to their specific feeding and habitat routines. Intuitive & Patient: I prioritize reading body language and providing space or snuggles as needed. My goal is to maintain a calm, empathetic environment where every pet feels safe and heard. Trusted Professional: As the go-to "on-call" sitter for my friends and family, I am known for maintaining consistent schedules and providing genuine companionship while owners are away. Whether your pet needs a vigorous walk, a pristine habitat, or a quiet afternoon of company, I am dedicated to keeping their routine on track and making them feel special. I work from home in Providence, which allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability for your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily integrate midday walks, feedings, or play sessions into my workday without rush. Daily Flexibility: Available for walks and check-ins anytime during the workday, as well as evenings and weekends. Regular or "On-Call" Care: Whether you need a consistent weekly sitter to keep a routine or a one-off "pinch hitter" when you're headed out of town, I can accommodate your schedule. Attentive Supervision: Working from home means I am a constant presence; if I am sitting in your home, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the frequent attention they deserve. Prompt Communication: I pride myself on being reachable and providing quick updates so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing. I am happy to work around your pet's specific timing for meals and exercise to ensure their day feels as normal as possible while you're away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining a secure, clean, and private environment. I understand that you aren't just trusting me with your animals, but with your personal space as well. Respect for Your Home: I treat your property with the utmost care. I am naturally tidy and will ensure that food bowls, litter areas, and play spaces remain clean and organized. I leave your home exactly as I found it—if not better. Safety & Security: I am diligent about home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and your pet is safely settled before I leave. I am also mindful of household hazards, ensuring that "counter-surfers" or curious chewers stay out of trouble. Privacy & Professionalism: Your privacy is a top priority. I am there strictly to care for your pets and will never overstep boundaries or access areas of your home that aren't necessary for their care. Consistent Communication: I am highly reachable and believe in proactive updates. You’ll receive check-ins and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and your home is in good hands. I focus exclusively on in-home visits and walks, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you have the confidence that your home is being treated with professional respect.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppy-hood. Ever since I was a kid, my heart would joyously melt in front of any and every four legged friend. I love getting to know other animals, and take care of them as if they were my own. I got my start pet sitting by looking after my friends and neighbors’ dogs and cats on occasion. At present, my longest cat sitting gig was 3 weeks straight in which I stayed with my fur friend for ~6-8 hours a day just to keep her company. I work remotely, so my workstation is mobile. In this was I can make most pet-sitting tasks and hours work— while assuring your pets have company, enrichment, and supervision. (As an aside, I go by both Vera and Amanda and use them interchangably) I work remotely 10am-6pm monday-friday. Ideally, i prefer to visit pets and take care of them anytime before 10am, but my calendar is very flexible.

I have 2 dogs that I love dearly and walk 2-3 times every single day at routine times. I brush them frequently, I strap on little booties for their paws daily to protect them from the hot pavement, and I play with them to their little hearts content.

If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hartford
I’m very pleased with Samantha service. I was always informed about anything, any changes or behaviors with my dear 4 paws daughter. I definitely would hire Samantha again. She went above and beyond. Example: I told her that she didn’t necessarily need to take my Sam for walks but she asked if she could, I said that It was all up to her. my daughter loved it!!!

Jessica was fantastic with Lucky! From the moment he saw her at the meet and greet, they immediately clicked. I hired her to come twice a day and she always went above and beyond sending photos of Lucky throughout her visits. He always looked like he was having a great time while she was over. She took him on walks, played with him, and really kept him engaged. I'm always sad when I leave Lucky for a few days, but having Jessica there to keep him company eased my nervousness completely. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.

Jasmine was wonderful to work with! She stayed in touch with us, sending us photos and detailed notes about our cat, even going above and beyond with care during a heatwave while we were away. While we've had some very good experiences with sitters through Rover in the past, Jasmine, with her dedicated attention to communication and to our cat, was far and away the best sitter we've worked with in our area! We can't recommend her enough and hope she's available when we're next out of town.

Super great with my little fur guys. Very knowledgeable about pets. Very friendly, highly recommend. He makes sure to take very good notes before he even comes and takes care of them. And if he has any questions he will notify you and contact you to make sure that he has all the answers he needs to make sure your pets are taken care of.

Katrina was fantastic! She was patient, kind and loving with our dog, Ocean. She dealt with a couple of blips, an electrical outage and an itinerary change with grace and equanimity. We will hire her anytime we go away and have already referred friends and family to her. I can’t imagine a better pet sitter.

Lila was wonderful with Snickers. She was very prompt and did everything I asked with his crazy senior dog behaviors. She’s sweet and loves dogs, it’s obvious with her interaction when she met my dog. It was also quite a last-minute booking, and she really helped us out that way.

Genesis was amazing with my furry baby. She was kind and patient with my little fur baby. He took some warming up and Genesis was able to meet him where he was and provide excellent care. Genesis will be my first choice when needing care for my pup. Thanks again.

Rebecca took excellent care of my slightly anxious and socially awkward rescue cat named Garage while I was away. I was a little worried leaving her for 3 days because of her behavioral issues, but found that she was in great hands with Rebecca. We will definitely be requesting her again!

Sarah and Amy were so awesome while I was away from my cat for 10 days. They were in daily contact with me with plenty of great photos to pull at my heartstrings. They really gave that extra love to my cat which is exactly what I would hope for but never expected. I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.
