“We are so grateful for the amazing care our pet received! From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, responsible, and attentive you are. You went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were at work! Our pet was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved when we returned. We truly appreciate the updates, communication, and extra care you put into everything. It means so much to know we have someone we can trust completely. Thank you again for your dedication and care—we would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter and will book you again in the future!”
“Shannon V. is awesome & I would highly recommend her for cat sitting! Thanks again Shannon - knowing you were taking care of my kitty , Maggie, made being away on vacation so much easier!”
“Stephen was fantastic! It was my first time having someone unrelated to the family care for our pup, I was a bit apprehensive. But Stephen quickly put me at ease with his attentiveness and genuine care for Charlie during our time away. Multiple photos, videos and updates during the day, very responsive, and most importantly a happy loved pup!”
“This is the second time we have booked Jennifer, this time for several drop in visit this week. I really appreciate her communication and the care she gives to my dog. She even stayed extra on 1 occasion to make sure my pup poo’d, and on another to make sure she drank enough water on a hot day. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Grace went above and beyond - The lock number had been changed for our front door, and she stayed hours to make sure she got in to take care of our pups! She was cool calm and collected when faced with an emergency, would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for care.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly understand how much pets are family. I currently own both a dog and cat and have experience helping foster dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with routines, medication schedules, high-energy pets, and giving nervous animals extra patience and care. I am currently working as a full time RN but available for morning (before 8:30am) pet care, evening care (after 5:30pm), and flexible times on weekends. Happy to assist with overnight care with frequent drop ins but typically unable to stay overnight as I have fur babies of my own at home waiting for me :) As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I value safety, trust, and consistency. I currently provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I aim to create a calm, dependable experience with close attention to detail, reliable communication, and lots of care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Emily was an AMAZING dog-sitter. I felt so comfortable with her. She clearly loves dogs and knows a lot about them. She was extremely responsible and professional. She even made my dog some little bandanna to wear around his neck. It was ADORABLE. Thank you Emily for being the best dog-sitter ever!”
“Kyle did a wonderful job visiting, feeding and caring for our newly adopted trio of kitties while away for a long weekend. We’d highly recommend her, and are glad to know we can leave our fur babies in such capable hands.”
“Jacqi was a phenomenal sitter for our two rambunctions and playful young cats! She was really communicative and attentive, and Jimmy + Daphne gave her great reviews. You can feel 100% confident in her capable hands.”
About: I have years of experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors. I’m dependable, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love as my own. Pet care is part of my daily routine, including walks, playtime, and attention to each dog’s needs. I am experienced in safely administering medication when needed. I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment in both my home and clients’. I follow all instructions carefully to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.
About: Combining my love for animals and the outdoors with photography. I live in a very green peaceful area close to downtown Glastonbury with lots of space for sniffs and walks, in close proximity to many trails we can explore. My schedule is flexible, currently am a full time student and M off for the summer which allows more time for structure with feeding, walking, hiking, and playtime. Will make sure your dog receives all the love , care , and attention they deserve when you are not available to them . 🐶
“We’ve been using shannon consistently for the last month and she has been wonderful. We have an anxious big 70lb girl and she absolutely adores her!!! Highly recommend using shannon for your babies!”
“Giselle is a wonderful dog sitter. She is friendly, flexible and committed. Our puppy loves her. We are so fortunate to have connected with Giselle and would recommend her for any needs!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently help care for a high-energy Border Collie/Sheltie mix and three cats. I have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including administering transdermal and liquid medications and helping manage ongoing medical care for a cat with hyperthyroidism. I also helped care for a dog with hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, and liver disease, giving me experience following specialized care routines and monitoring pets with chronic health conditions. I’m comfortable reading cat and dog body language, handling multi-pet households, and caring for cats who are skilled escape artists. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 3–6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–3 PM. Outside of those hours, I have flexible availability for drop-in visits and house sitting and can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and medication administration as needed. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to cat and dog body language, take extra care with pets who may try to escape, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m also comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and administering medications according to owner instructions.
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”

Marlborough cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer took amazing care of our cat while we were away on an extended vacation. We adore our little man and were very anxious to leave him, but after the first visit it was clear he was in wonderful hands. Her attention to detail with his care, her responsiveness, and the way she handled anything unexpected gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was exceptional — her notes and photos were thoughtful, consistent, and truly made us feel like she appreciated our pet as much as we do. Our cat was relaxed and happy when we returned, which says everything about the level of comfort she created for him. She also treated our home with great respect and took extra care to keep our cat’s environment neat and clean. The entire experience was smooth, reliable, and far above our expectations. We would absolutely book her again and are so grateful we trusted her with our beloved kitty’s care.
