About: I’m great with all kinds of dogs — active pups who love playtime outdoors and calm dogs who enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments. I adjust my care to fit their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am usually pretty free during the week, but send me a message and we can find a time that works for both of us! I keep each pet’s care as consistent as possible with their normal routine. I also make sure every dog gets extra attention so they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: I've been dog sitting for the past 6 years and have a lot of hands on experience with a variety of animals. From raising guiding eye dogs, volunteering at a vet's office, and working on a farm, you know that your pets will be safe in my care. I have two dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. I love to meet new animals and can't wait to help your pet next! I'm currently in college from around 9-4 and as a result I have to work my schedule around classes. It depends on a day to day basis but I am mainly free on weekends. I will constantly give your pet the attention they need. I understand that every animal is different and as such I will change my methods for each one. I will always be on time and will make sure that during every visit they are happy and healthy. I will go out of my way if they need to make a last minute visit to the vet or if I need to stay another night unexpectedly.
“Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.”
About: I love animals, especially dogs. They bring me joy and I wish to keep them safe and sound for you. They are my family too Currently working Mon- Friday 8-5pm, willing to do weekends and if necessary, weekdays but please contact ahead of time as I work 30 mins away. My husky lives at my parents house with a fenced yard, since my place doesn’t accept large dogs. He is well cared for and loved
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered rescue puppies for five years now. I have also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for two years. I am just graduated from college so I am available throughout the week or weekends. I can start booking appointments after June 9th! This includes dog or cat pet sitting, dog walking, or overnights! I will come to your house to pet sit, dog walk, or stay for extended periods of time to ensure the happiness and safety for your pet. Whatever you and your pet need I will do. My utmost priority is your fur baby!
“This is our third booking with Christyna. When our heater went out due to the snowstorm, she didn’t hesitate to head back and help reset it. Thanks to Christyna, we came home to a happy and healthy Mai.”
About: I have grown up having pets, so I understand how they become part of the family and the importance of having someone trustworthy to take care of them. I have been pet sitting for families throughout Fairfield County and New Haven County over the last six years. Whether your dog is small or large, needs special food or medication, likes long walks or just playing in the backyard, I have experience with it all! During the summer, I will be available for all pet care needs! Let’s create a schedule that best aligns with my part time job and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet is cared for in the same way I would look after my cats and dog, with plenty of affection, exercise and treats! I do my best to follow their routine while you are away, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved.
About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.
“Catherine took wonderful care of my boys, 2 large male cats, on 2 separate occasions. What I particularly appreciated so very much was that when I came home after being away, they were very calm and not at all needy, which is a sure sign to me that they were well taken care of. It was just so reassuring to me to know that! I will be using Catherine regularly in the future!”
About: I have several years of experience with all types of animals. I have spent a lot of timing researching and helping animals who need it, and I have even taken classes on animal care and behavior. I love animals and they always have, and will be, a big part of my life. My schedule does vary, but it is flexible. Monday evenings, tuesdays, Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday especially, I am generally available. I will always try to fit your pets in! Although I can not offer boarding, your pets safety and happiness is of the upmost importance. I will work based off of what your pet is expressing to me and what you tell me, combined with my own experience to keep everybody safe and happy!
About: Hi, I’m Jessica. My love for animal care started in 2018 when my family rescued our dog, Chase, from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. Helping him feel safe, understood, and confident pushed me to learn more about dog body language, temperament, leash behavior, and how to care for each dog based on their needs. I originally entered college as a pre-veterinary Animal Science major and gained hands-on experience with animals, including sheep. I also competed in UConn’s Little I competition and placed second. Later, I shifted toward human medicine and changed my major to Allied Health Sciences on the pre-med track, but my love for animals never left. I also worked as a kennel assistant, where I cared for pets in a boarding environment and learned how important routine, safety, patience, and clear instructions are. Dogs are my strongest area, but I also have experience with cats and small animals through feeding and basic care. For pets with more specific needs, I’m very willing to learn and follow your instructions carefully. Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, temperament, walking style, triggers, favorite activities, nervous habits, and how they do around other dogs, cats, strangers, children, loud noises, or new environments. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or just very particular, I’d rather know upfront so I can care for them safely and calmly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic routine reinforcement. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to follow the commands and routines you already use. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you clear updates and peace of mind. My schedule is currently flexible, especially for drop-ins and walks. I’m usually available during morning, afternoon, and evening time blocks, and I do my best to plan visits in a way that gives each pet enough time, patience, and attention. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, litter areas, water bowls, and anything the owner tells me is important. I also like to know about each pet’s temperament, triggers, hiding spots, leash behavior, and comfort level with new people so I can keep the visit safe and calm. For walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed before leaving the home and avoid unnecessary interactions with unknown dogs or people unless the owner says otherwise. I’m patient with shy, nervous, excited, or slower-to-warm-up pets, and I’d rather move carefully than rush them. I’ll also send clear updates, so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve dog sat and walked for multiple families and cared for cats for 10+ years. I am looking to help local families with pet care I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist in mornings, during the day, and evening regularly and consistently I have two cats at my apartment currently and have owned pets my entire life. For dogs or cats that I sit, I ensure a safe environment to meet every family’s needs
About: Socialized dogs will absolutely have a great time staying with me as we spend time at the dog park and make new friends! High energy pups are my favorite as I'm a long distance runner and can handle extended walks/runs with your buddy. I've had 3 years experience at dog kennels and was responsible for monitoring group play of up to 20 dogs in one yard. Puppy group play was my favorite and most intensive role as I was trained to recognize dog body language and maintain safety when pups were getting too ruff. During my time in kennels, I also was able to provide scheduled feedings and administer oral medications daily. My family owns an elderly dog with arthritis, and during cold months I am willing to carry dogs up/down stairs to avoid slips on snow/ice. During a long-term stay I will gladly spend time with your pooch for walks, play time and socializing, naps, massages, and feedings. Observing dog behavior during each of these parts of our day is important to me. This allows me have a detailed report of your pet's stay when you return. Keeping track of any behavioral, digestive, or sleep-related issues is always made a top priority for my guests. I typically begin my day with walking any dogs that are staying overnight with me, could be at the dog park, then feeding them, and then heading out for 1-2 hours to walk my regular clients on weekdays. With winter approaching, we may need to minimize time spent on walks during heavy snow/rain. However, larger breeds who can handle snow days are encouraged to stay with me for extended outdoor play. It's very important to me to establish trust with new dogs at their own pace. This is easily done by giving the typical commands and rewarding with treats, as well as affirming trust on leashed walks. In my apartment building there are other dogs who live on my floor, and I'm very vigilant about who is in the hallway or stairwells when I am taking a dog outside. Within my apartment unit, your pet can freely relax on the couch or large rugs I have. Smaller breeds are also welcome to relax on my bed along with me when its time to sleep. I do my best to keep dogs calm and like to be hands on with lots of belly rubs and ear scratching as most dogs seem to really enjoy that. Its also important to me to clean my apartment before and after I have pets staying overnight.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I am known as the dog-sitter in my neighborhood. When my neighbors go on vacation or away, I am always the first one called to watch their animals. While they are away, I feed and walk the dogs. I also have experience staying over night at various houses to dog sit. I’m currently working as a teacher, but we are off during the Summer. I have a lot of free time to take care of all of your pets needs. I am available Monday through Sunday. I will follow all of the instructions of the pet’s owner. I am available to walk, feed, play, and dog sit overnight. I will spend quality time with the pets.
About: I’ve always had three cats growing up and still do today. I’ve also spent my whole life around dogs through family and friends, and I’ve been riding horses for over a decade. I’m comfortable with all animals and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a senior at sacred heart university. I'm looking to fill in my free time by helping out with any pet needs! I have a good amount of free time open and can't wait to start taking care of your animals! I live in an apartment which is dog and cat friendly. It has its own mini dog park/area on site. It also has lots of walking trails for some long walks.
About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
