About: *All earnings are going toward my senior cat’s mammary tumor surgery, thank you for your support during this time* I have hands-on experience administering both oral and injectable medications, and as the owner of a senior cat, I’m especially aware of the subtle signs that may indicate a pet is feeling unwell or in need of veterinary care. I provide attentive and compassionate care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, and engaging your pet with play and affection. If your pet is shy or uncomfortable around new people, I will respect their space and let them set the pace of interaction. My goal is to create a calm, supportive environment that works well for both you and your pet. I’m also happy to help with additional household tasks, such as watering plants, cleaning up minor messes, or bringing in the mail. I am currently available anytime Monday through Friday and weekends to maintain the routine you have with your pets. Any changes to my schedule will be noted in my calendar. When I’ve pet-sat in the past, my routine typically begins with feeding the cat their wet food (if requested), checking and refreshing water and dry food bowls, and cleaning the litter box. When it comes to dogs, I will immediately bring them outside to go potty. Then proceed to feeding (if requested) and refreshing water. Once those essentials are taken care of, I’m happy to handle additional tasks such as watering plants, washing any dishes I’ve used, or taking out the trash. I always make time to interact with your pet - whether that means playing, petting, or simply keeping them company if they’re in the mood. You can also expect photo updates during each visit so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

“Terry was fabulous for her walk with Atlas! She arrived promptly at the scheduled walk time, and provided a detailed write-up with lots of photos to capture her visit, which included not just the neighborhood walk, but also play time in the backyard, pets, and practice of Atlas's "commands"! We are looking forward to having Terry come stay with Atlas during an upcoming trip, as it's abundantly clear that she takes great pride in the pet care she provides!”

“Sara is amazing to work with! When my dad’s standard poodle was moving in to live with him at an assisted living facility, we needed someone we could trust with a sometimes stubborn pup! It didn’t take Viola long to warm up to Sara! Sara’s updates are great and informative. We look forward to having Sara care for our pups when we leave town for vacation. Thanks so much, Sara!”

“Crystal did a great job walking our dog Callie. She was easy to get in touch with and was responsive to all messages. Callie can be unsure about new people but as soon as Crystal picked up her leash she was happy and ready to go! Would definitely recommend Crystal!”

About: New to Rover but not to pet sitting! My family has had dogs my whole life. As the oldest child in my household, I was responsible for all the little guys. Now I have an adorable, sassy cat at home who is a constant reminder of respectful boundaries and unconditional love. I’ve been a contact for family and friends when they need someone to watch or check in with their fur babies. I always want to make sure you and your pet are comfortable around me. I would be honored to care for your best friend. Don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding my services and we’ll see if I’m a good fit for you. I am currently in between jobs so I have a wide range of availability! In the future, I expect to be working part to full time during normal workweek hours 9-5, so would have more availability in early mornings and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and am nearby many dog-friendly trails. To stay at my home, your dog must be comfortable with cats, potty trained, and overall well-behaved. My cat has not had experience with other cats in our home so that is not something I am comfortable with. Around your home, I am happy to stick to whatever practices and routines are familiar and comfortable for your pet.

“Loki and Sammy absolutely love Willem, they get so excited when he comes and even look out the window for him on the days he comes! Willem walks them both weekly and he’s worked with Loki for quite some time, there has been an immense improvement in Loki’s loose leash walking and listening to commands. Sammy also has begun to pay attention during walks. I highly recommend Willem, he is awesome with dogs!”

About: Hi, I’m Caroline! I’ve had the joy of owning several dogs, and my friends often trust me to care for theirs when they’re away. I’m patient, energetic, and absolutely love going on long walks. Originally from Massachusetts, I now spend most of my time in Connecticut. When your dog is with me, you can be sure they’ll get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy visiting parks, walking paths, and trails, and I’m happy to match any dog’s energy level—whether they love staying active or prefer some cozy cuddle time. I’m here to provide loving care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and even light cleaning if needed. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’d love the chance to spend quality time with yours! During the week, I have a lot of flexibility working remote so I can be around in the mornings, afternoons or evenings. Additionally, on the weekends I am almost always available! I will treat your home as if it was mine. I am clean and professional and will follow any instructions provided for your dogs needs.

About: When it comes to pet care, I stand out from the rest in the area for numerous reasons. First and foremost, your beloved pet will be treated as a cherished member of our family during their stay with us. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have been caring for these furry companions since I was just 10 years old. From energetic Corgis to playful Pit Bulls, from gentle Golden Retrievers to lovable Saint Bernards, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. What truly sets me apart is my patience with all dogs, ensuring that your pet receives not only love and attention but also the grace they deserve. Rain or shine, daily walks are a staple in our routine, and I take great delight in strolling through the rain with a furry friend by my side. With my dedicated care, expertise in training, and unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing environment, I am the ideal choice for ensuring your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being.

My commitment to your pet's well-being ensures that they are never left alone for extended periods of time. Whether it's engaging in playtime, administering meals, or providing comforting company, your furry friend will always have a loving presence by their side. We understand the importance of consistency and stability in a pet's life, and we strive to maintain a nurturing environment that seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routines. We just recently fenced-in our yard, the safety and well-being of your pet are of utmost importance to us. To ensure their security, the back door will remain locked during their stay, and all entrances and exits will be conducted through the front door, where a leash will be securely attached to your dog. Unless specified otherwise, your pet will become just part of our family, granting them the freedom to roam certain areas of the house. Our couches and chairs are open for their lounging pleasure, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. To maintain a harmonious feeding routine, your pet will be provided separate mealtimes, distinct from our own animals and children. Rest assured that while under our care, your beloved pet will receive individualized attention, an inviting environment, and the utmost consideration for their comfort and safety.

“My dogs love Doreen. She is wonderful with them. She is so patient, Macy can be a little challenging when meeting new people, and takes her a long time to warm up, but it only took a few minutes. That right there speaks volumes. I highly recommend Doreen and will use her again soon.”
