“Kim is like a beloved auntie to my fur babies. She’s very engaged in their comfort, activities and care, and sends me lots of pics showing they’re doing well in my absence. I trust Kim explicitly.”
About: I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate! My work schedule allows for either me or my daughter to always be at home, so the pets have round the clock love and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a house with plenty of space for pets to hang out. My 2 dogs are very friendly and are used to visiting dogs.
“Beyond my expectations. My dog is gaurded with strangers and is a big boy, but zach has a natural comfort with dogs you can tell. My dog wylie warmed up to Zach with ease. Will definitely seek out Zach again”
“Hunter is awesome!! She is very attentive to her messages and answers very quickly. She kept me very well updated throughout the entire weekend with my two kitties! I would book her to care for my girls again and again!!”

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.
“Lynsey is incredibly reliable and keeps great communication while watching your fur babies. She is our go to sitter and enjoy our trips knowing she is giving our cats and gecko the best care!”

“Meaghan was incredible babysitting our, at times, difficult and needy cat Ashley. Despite a few growls and a hiss at first, Meaghan kept earning our cat’s trust with each visit which is a huge success when it comes to our kitty. Having Meaghan watch our cat while we were away helped our stress levels immensely and I will certainly be hiring her for our next trip.”


About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.
“Priscilla was absolutely fantastic with our boys. They're prone to mischief, and not surprisingly Priscilla found some. She handled it by first letting us know immediately, and then even cleaned up the mess the boys made by tipping over one of our plants. Communication was excellent, and the boys were clearly comfortable with her caring for them. I recommend Priscilla unconditionally.”

“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”

“Courtney was great! She sent me pictures every visit, checked in and out when she dropped in, took care of my plants, and when she dropped off my key, my cats ran to greet her, obviously having enjoyed the play time with her. I will definitely book Courtney again.”

“Sarah is a wonderful person. She was fantastic with our dogs. She goes out of her way to make sure they’re happy and safe I could not a better pet sitter. She is a wonderful person five star all the way.”


“We absolutely love Robin. We’ve used her numerous times and she’s the best! We trust her with our cats and home. Our kitties love her and it’s nice to know that you have someone who truly cares.”

“Nataliia was fantastic. She came to my home twice a day to take care of my two kitties. One of my cats has a thyroid medicine she takes daily. And the cats eat separate foods. She navigated the medicine and the foods, sent tons of picture updates, and was consistent with the kitties all week. She was thorough about asking questions and visiting the kitties before we decided to have her be our sitter. I would 100% have her help us out when she travels! 🐈⬛🐈⬛❤️”

Harwinton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marissa was absolutely great! We have two cats with big personalities and she was patient in getting to know each of them. She was quick to respond, polite, and left very detailed feedback! We loved all the pictures she shared too! Marissa went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.
