About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls! As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!
About: I have watched over my neighbors, friends, and my own dogs since I was in middle school. I have taken care of friendly, aggressive, energetic, low-energy, social, and anxiety-prone dogs in the past, and I believe that I can take care of your dog as well as I take care of my own. I have also taken care of puppies, not house-trained dogs, and older dogs that need to be taken out more frequently. I am a recent graduate from Fairfield University and am available to care for your pets any day of the week, but would prefer Monday-Friday. I have had experience with aggressive as well as friendly dogs, so I know how to handle both in whatever situation. I have provided in-home service and have walked, washed, and cared for dogs, so I am well prepared for your dog!
“Mae is awesome!! We were scrambling to find someone to watch our two 1yr old cats a few days before leaving and Mae was kind enough to help us out last minute. I can tell Mae truly understands the nature of cats and all the quirks that come with them. She really does a great job of catering to their unique personalities. My one cat is usually extremely shy with strangers but seemed to warm up to Mae quicker than with most people. Mae left everything very clean and sent a bunch of cute photos of the kitties. She even printed some physical copies of the photos for us! Thanks for everything!! <3”
“Abby was phenomenal. She provided updates and pics. We had a lot of fur babies to care for and we can’t thank her enough. 8 days was a long time for us to be away and when we returned they all seemed happy! I would highly recommend Abby and hope we get to use her again in the future!!! Our home was cared for and she went the extra step and even cleaned the linens and brought our trash receptacles back up for us. A+++”

Linwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a fantastic experience with Suzann looking after our home and our skittish border collie. She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. Suzann went above and beyond starting with multiple meet and greets. Our dog is a rescue that shies away from most folks. Suzann knew how to work with her and Briar warmed up to her in a very short period of time. She did other tasks we never expected like taking out the trash on collection day and spending extra time working with our dog. Briar seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, and the house was spotless. We have used Rover sitters in the past at our previous home. None of them compare to Suzann. We highly recommend Suzann and will be booking her again for our next trip.
Adriana immediately responded to my request and followed up with communication for meeting our pups. She is very kind and we were so grateful to find her when we were in a pinch for a NYE dog sitter. She followed our instructions for caretaking and gave lots of love to our furbabies - they were in good hands!
Cassandra was excellent! She watched our new rescue dog Ranger, who is nervous around new people and requires a lot of supervision. Her experience working with rescue dogs was critical, she took great care of Ranger and the house. She went above and beyond to provide a great experience for our nervous guy!
