“Charlotte bonded quickly and easily with our dog Tessie. She took Tessie for a hike along the trails near our house. We enjoyed the Rover report card showing the bathroom breaks and cute pictures of our dog. We will be rebooking services with Charlotte again in the future.”

4. Casey H.
“I asked Casey to walk my pups while I was out of town. She completely put my mind at ease and I was able to relax on vacation knowing the girls were taken care of. She really does treat them like her own and I’m so glad to have found her! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend Casey for your pups!”

“Vincent was wonderful with my pups! He responded quickly to my request and the girls loved him. He is very in-tune with the pups. Thank you Vincent!”
6. Kaitlyn C.
“Kaitlyn has been an animal lover her whole life. We used to go to a dog kennel that I volunteered with and we would give dogs walk and playtime. Kait was always right by my side helping with the animals. It doesn't matter what kind of animal, she is up for it. She has taken care of all of her Aunt and Uncles pets when they have gone out of town, as well as all their friends animals. She is true to the animals that she cares for treating them as her own. If she takes care of your fur babies, or what ever it may be, you can be sure that they are in great hands.”
7. Sarah S.
“I've known Sarah for over a decade and would highly recommend her as a pet caregiver. She's taken care of our dogs, fish, chickens, and plants and done a great job. I've also seen how well she does taking care of pets that require a higher level of care such as young kittens, very large dogs, and animals with medical needs. She's very responsible and adept with animals. When she commits to anything she gives it her all, and this is especially true for taking care of pets. She's the first person I go to for dogsitting and plant care when I go out of town.”
8. Laurel Joy B.
“Laurel is a thoughtful, caring, person and loves animals. She is the animal whisperer! Working with lots of different pets from dogs, to cats, farm, and lizards. She helped take care of our dogs and goats.”

10. Mary O.
“Mary is terrific. My dog is always happy at the end of a day that includes a walk with Mary.”
11. Jill M.
“Jill did an excellent job taking our little guy for walks. Our miniature dachshund is like our child and we worry about him while we're away, especially since he requires special care on account of prior back problems. We were very happy to find someone as responsible as Jill to take care of him. We would definitely want to work with Jill again next time we're away!”
12. Ashley S.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley for anyone in need of a compassionate and dependable pet sitter. She made my time away on vacation stress-free, and I will call upon her again in the future. She was willing to house sit also, making it easy to take care of our cat. We got regular updates and pics of Josie (our kitty), helping us feel comfortable about leaving her. Ashley followed all our instructions, giving us peace of mind that Josie was well cared for. Ashley consistently demonstrated professionalism and genuine affection for Josie, providing not only feeding and litter box maintenance but also spending quality time playing with her. We were incredibly happy to have her!”
13. Michelle B.
“Michelle is caring, reliable and conscientious. She bonded with my dog immediately. I completely trust her in my home with my dog. She has watched my dog on numerous occasions. Every time I have used her I have returned home to a happy and well adjusted dog. She does an amazing job at keeping my dog on her normal schedule. She will treat your dog and your home with utmost respect. I highly recommend Michelle.”
14. Kim M.
About: I have had animals my whole life- dogs, cats, reptiles, and even horses! I personally got my own puppy a few years ago and have even trained him myself. I love all animals and love watching animals for people who wants good animal care. I’ve taken multiple animal sciences classes during my time at college which help me better read animal body language and communication, as well as learn effective training methods. In addition, my family and friends all rely on me to do their pet care and it’s always a joy for me and them :) I love all things pet and will be free both weekdays and weekends to watch your fur baby! I’m super flexible with dates and times so I’ll always be willing to work around your schedule for visits. I love to help train animals and give the care that is expected by the owners. I am willing to help crate the dogs if need be and feed and provide outdoor time as needed. I would never want the animal bored or alone for time longer than they are used to. I will make sure they are taken care of as they are used to and get the mental and physical exercise they need.

“Hannah was fabulous. We needed some last-minute help walking out two dogs, and she was flexible in finding time and very communicative. The dogs loved her!”
16. Tara F.
About: Have over 30 years of experience with my own dogs/animals. I have work experience with a multitude of various animals - previously worked at the San Diego Zoo. Most recently, I was an owner to an adorable English Bulldog so understand the "particulars" of many dog needs. Here to make sure your furry friend/family member is happy, healthy and in good hands while you are away. Happy to accommodate you with pictures, updates or whatever you need while you're out. I am very easy to communicate with and very reliable. Will always go above and beyond to make sure pups have everything they need from walks, runs, hikes, beach time, park time, etc. as I am very active and also love the out doors! Any other needs questions you may have, please don't hesitate to ask. I mainly work from home, but need to go to in person meetings from time to time. They can hang with me in my office, throughout the house or outside in the backyard. Pups can stay in my house with me, be in the backyard or go on walks to near by dog park. Whichever is best for your pups needs!
17. Olivia D.
About: I love taking care of animals and providing them with love and comfort. I can walk animals, stay overnight with them, or even just stop in to feed and play with them. I think Rover is a great site because I loved having a dog sitter for my dog. She really enjoyed being able to get out of the house when my family and I was gone during the day. I think animals are like children and they deserve great care too. I love to hike, cuddle, run, walk, and just relax! I am very open and flexible. I can work around many schedules and I do not mind staying at other peoples homes if it keeps the pup the most comfortable. I have been caring for dogs and children for many years! I have flexibility and make my own schedule during the week! I also work and drive throughout most of CT and can be available. I’m always in the area. I am calm yet trained when it comes to how to handle dogs in different situations. I take the responsibility seriously and listen to all of the owners requests.
18. Claire B.
About: My name is Claire! I am a nursing student at the University of Vermont and I am looking to take care of some pets! I grew up taking care of three of my own family dogs. I also have a cat now who I absolutely adore. I have a lot of availability right now, so I can be as flexible as you need me to be! The only days I have classes this semester are Mondays and Tuesdays, so those days will most likely not work for me. I always make sure each animal is being paid attention to and that their individual needs are met. If they want to play, we play. If they want to rest, we rest.
19. Cindy P.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last ten years. I had Libra and Shadow who were both pit Bulls. I now help my partners take care of their dogs Noel and Benji. I work Tuesday thru Friday so I’m mostly available during the weekends as well as Monday, but I’m more than able to work something out depending on the emergency. I live in a very safe area in Madison. We have all the necessary tools to create a safe and loving environment for your fur babies.
20. Maddy C.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life so i’ve had lots of experience with caring for pets. I love all animals and I would love to help take care of your pets as well! I work nights a few days a week so I am available during the day and all day on my days off. I am flexible with schedules as well. My yard is not fenced in but it is closed off in the back of my house and I do have an electric fence. I also have multiple leashes that I can use if needed. I can provide daily runs/walks and I have some other family members around to love your pets as well.
