I had just moved to Cheshire, CT and needed to find a cat babysitter quickly. I am so lucky to have found Christine online. From the moment I met her, I knew I did not have to worry about my 2 cats. She is the sweetest and most caring person you could ask for and her love for pets comes through. I have found a car sitter for whenever I travel in the future.

Karlena has been amazing with our puppy Billie! She is always on time and keeps us updated. She works on training her while she’s here and puts up with the puppy biting. She is our saving grace on days where we aren’t home for extended periods of time.

This is our second time with Julie caring for our cat Pixie and will not be our last. She is prompt about getting to our house to feed Pixie and does not simply feed her and rush out the door when she is done. Pixie is an extreme affection sponge and we love that Julie sticks around and cuddles with our little one while we are away. I always feel so guilty when we are gone for more than a day, but knowing Julie is going to be sitting with Pixie and giving her the attention she craves really helps me relax. Julie is also so sweet with Pixie. Pix has a habit of getting under foot and can be very chatty. Julie has the patience of a saint navigating the one cat obstacle course to get through our kitchen while prepping her meals. We are thrilled to have come across Julie on Rover and already have discussed with her our next booking, which will be sudden and unpredictable as we go into the hospital to have our first child. She is so open to when we said "yeah, it will be sometime between this date and this date and could be 2-5 days long and will be a very last second booking". Not only did she respond immediately, but she told us no problem, she will be around and to let her know. Shes the best and we so highly recommend her to take care of the fur babies!

Dianna is friendly and was great with my pets. She kept me updated throughout her drop in visit and she was on time. She did everything asked of her and I will be rebooking with her.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for 4 years. I have 2 cats and a dog and I frequently dog sit for my neighbors! I am great with all ages of pets! I am currently a senior in highschool and I get out of school at 12:13 everyday. During the summer when school is out I have tons of availability. I have two cats of my own along with a dog and I love to play with them. I also love going outside with dogs and keeping them active!

Tatum was soooo great with my quirky dog! She totally went above and beyond to make sure my nervous nelly was comfortable enough to eat and do her business. She also kept me updated on everything that was going on with my pup and my kitty. I’ll definitely work with Tatum again!

As a first time kitty owner I was super nervous about my cat’s care while away on vacation. Laura helped me navigate the Rover site, was flexible with pickup when we got stuck in traffic, sent daily updates and cute pictures, and introduced our kitty to her own pets for additional fun. Highly recommmend!

Kelly is an absolutely phenomenal sitter! I’m always afraid of leaving my babies alone with someone, but Kelly kept me up to date and I never once worried. My two cats are special needs and require some extra care and Kelly went above and beyond. I am so thankful and highly recommend her :)

About: Hi there, my name is Natalie! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I grew up in a big dog-loving family and have always had a dog in my life. I’ve also helped family, friends, and neighbors with dog sitting and walking over the years. I currently care for my 70-pound yellow Lab, who is truly my whole world. Having a large dog myself has given me a lot of experience with energetic dogs and the importance of regular exercise. In my full-time career I’m a licensed therapist, so being caring, attentive, and reliable is a big part of who I am. I believe every dog, no matter their size, deserves quality walks and thoughtful care. I’ll always take the time to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every visit. I am available for walks and drop-in visits Friday through Sunday. During visits, your pup will receive walks, regular meals or treats if requested, and plenty of playtime and attention. My top priority is the safety and comfort of both your pup and your home. I respect every owner's routines and instructions so you can feel confident that everything will be taken care of during my visits. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you're away.

About: I am a registered (human) nurse by trade and am confident that my medical skills, multitasking and attention to detail that I use in my medical practice will translate well in my meticulous care of any animal I am watching over. I grew up training my family’s English Bulldog from 7 weeks old until she left her earthly body at age 12, if you know bulldogs, you know they are stubborn and lazy- I will say, I took much pride in the fact that Gwen was perfectly trained for all her life thanks for the work I did in her early, formative years. When I was 20 i found my soul dog, Pup, as a stray dog in my driveway. If I am not with her, you can probably find me stopping people on the side of the road to pet their dog. I have had years of experience with dogs of all ages, since I am usually the neighborhood dog carer when neighbors are away for vacation! I am more than willing to administer medications, provide enriching activities, go on nice long walks, or simply hang on the couch. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work as a registered nurse full time and am able to provide care on my days off. I have my own dog who loves her alone time so it will be important that I have time out of the house with your pup for my own pup to recharge! I am more than willing to follow your lead on how you care for your pup and mirror that so your dog feels like nothing has changed. My aim is to provide safe, secure care to your baby and maintain comfort for your pet since I will be a stranger coming into your home! I will be patient and loving with a kind tone of voice to foster a loving and consistent relationship.

Hailey was perfect with our two shy cats. She had them wrapped around her fingers after the first visit. We were shocked to receive photos of them being chatty with her and wanting all the pets. She went above and beyond what we requested. She will take care of your pets and treat your home as if her own. We will absolutely be rebooking with Hailey.
