“Alex was awesome housesitting for us and our two rescues. He was accommodating and has a soothing way about him which is great for the dogs. He administered pills and even hand fed our fussy girl. We are definitely using him again … if he will have us!”

“I recently went on vacation and trusted Ellen to take care of my dog, Harvey—and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She truly went above and beyond in every way. Ellen made sure all of Harvey’s needs were met, from his meals to his treats to his bathroom schedule, and she always kept his happiness and comfort as her top priority. Harvey can be a big softie who loves his routines, and Ellen handled everything with patience, care, and genuine love. She kept me updated, gave him plenty of attention, and treated him like he was her own dog. Coming home to a happy, relaxed Harvey said it all. I’m extremely grateful for the incredible care she provided. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dedicated dog sitter. She’s truly the best.”

“Bryn cared for our 2 pups when we went away for the weekend. She sent constant pictures and updates which helped us relax and know that our pups were in good hands. One of our dogs can be reactive on walks and Bryn took the precautions and handled everything just as we suggested. When we came home our house was as clean as we left it, which is hard to do with 2 shedding dogs. We can’t wait to book Bryn again for our next trip!”

About: I've had pets all my life. I treat the pets I care for as if they were my own. I love to snuggle and play. I am firm, consistent and loving with discipline. I ensure the pets in my care of loved and cared for. I work full-time, so I am available after 5pm during the week and between 11 and 7pm on the weekend. I am also available for weekend overnights - Friday to Sunday. I care for pets in a client's home by talking with the owner about the pet's general routine, feeding schedule and bathroom habits. I like to send pictures when I arrive and will text when I depart. I love giving snuggles and belly and chest rubs. I also love getting on the floor and playing.
“Meredith was super communicative. I knew right away that she had a true love for dogs. She even took the time to take our babies to the dog park. Our babies had such a good time with her and we knew they were in good hands. She also left our place super clean.”

“Dahn was very communicative and timely with updates. She took care of our dog and home treating it with respect and was very helpful and considerate. I would recommend Dahn for w”

About: Last year, my senior cat passed away, and I was heartbroken. Then, a new roommate joined us with her ragdoll, who I often petsitted. Now that I moved to CT, I miss living with a fur friend. In addition to my cat experience, from 2022-2023, I was a dogsitter and walker for a pomeranian and 2 pitbulls. They were the best! I am a teacher, so my work schedule is from 8am-3pm. I have a good amount of free time in my day! My weekends are free to book/request. I am very diligent and attentive, since I had a geriatric senior cat for years! I thrive on having a schedule and any other directions communicated to me. For my home, I live in a studio plus with a large bathroom.

“We are so happy to have found Tiffany! She stayed with our dog over Memorial Day weekend. It was the first time we've ever had a pet sitter stay with him (in the past he has gone to a boarding place). She is conscientious and a terrific communicator, and our dog clearly loves her: when we got home from our trip, he happily greeted us and then ran back to find Tiffany. We will absolutely hire her again!”

About: I have been dog sitting for at least 4 different people for 3 years now and I am always told I should make a living out of my love for dogs. I am very good at administering medication for dogs and nursing them to health as well. I have a deep rooted love and passion for dogs and it’s one day my hope to own a farm. I have trained quite a few different puppies as well I am currently self employed doing odd jobs for people including moving cleaning and pet sitting so I am relatively open for whatever your needs may be. I do appreciate some advance notice because I am a very schedule oriented person! With your instruction, your dog won’t even realize you’re gone. I would treat them the same way you do, walk them the same routes, feed them at the same times, I am a very trustworthy person and have yet to encounter any type of issue with any of the animals I have sat so I’m glad to say your pets are in very good hands.
“Leah did an amazing job with our girl Athena! She house sat for us over Thanksgiving break for 3 nights and I can tell from the photos we received that Athena was very comfortable and happy around Leah. We will definitely book with Leah again!”

“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”

“Camila took great care of our dog, Waffles, giving him plenty of walks and capturing adorable photos of him. Camila was also very flexible, extending her sitting service by an extra day when our flight changed. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Hannah was fantastic! We have an elderly, small dog who is always anxious around new people, but somehow she warmed up to Hannah immediately. Hannah did her oral and eye medication daily without difficulty, and kept in great communication with us throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be asking Hannah to dog sit in the future!”

“Cece is great. People and dogs love her. Drama misses her now that we are home. She took Drama to the dog park almost everyday and that’s not easy as he is almost bigger than her. She kept us updated as what they were doing everyday which is a great piece of mind when away from your family member. Lots of pics showing how happy Drama was. Thanks Cece. We will definitely be using you again. Trish Mccormack.”

“Marney was so wonderful with our dog Koby! She spent such great quality time with him the whole weekend and was very communicative throughout. Marney is incredible with animals and won over our pup instantly. We also enjoyed the adorable photos sent along the way! We highly recommend Marney and can’t wait to have her watch Koby again!”
