About: I have many years of experience as a responsible animal owner who cares very deeply about helping them live their best life. I have had puppies through senior dogs and am reliable in helping your furry friend stay on their schedule as much as possible. After the first week of June 2024, I am available this summer during any day and/or night. Since I work in the school system, I have an open schedule during the summer time. I live in a low-traffic safe neighborhood. I will create a comfortable and safe space for your pet to stay while sticking to your pet's regular feeding and exercise routine as much as possible.

“This is my 2nd time booking Nia to visit my babies when I'm away. She is very friendly and nice. She did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies and sending me updates. I will absolutely book her again!”

“Maya did a fantastic job with our anxious dog and hoard of cats. I was worried about leaving them home for a week but Maya kept me updated and took lots of pictures. By the end of the week all the cats came out to say hi to her, which is a ringing endorsement. We'll definitely hire Maya again.”

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was little. Growing up, I had to take care of 2 dogs and I was home alone most of the time so I was able to. My brother moved in with me for a couple years and I had to take care of his 3 cats alone most of the time which made me grew a liking to taking care of pets. I'm very gentle and detail oriented when it comes to working. I'll keep my full attention on your pets and their safety. I enjoy pet care and will free up time in order to take care and walk your pets! I do work and go to school but because the semester is over, I have a very flexible schedule. I care for pets in my home by giving them my full attention. I will make sure I don't have plans or anything I need to do so I can make sure your pet is safe 24/7.
About: I've had dogs for the last 15 years. Oreo, my most recent fur baby, just went over the rainbow bridge a year ago. He was a rescue and had behavioral problems and anxiety but with daily medication and a lot of love he really overcame his issues. Because of that experience I'm comfortable administering meds if needed. I work in a school so once school is out I have more flexibility in my schedule. I can provide walks or snuggles as needed I cannot provide services in my own home at this time but will gladly play and walk your dog at your home when you need it.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 mostly for my moms coworkers and family members who were going on trips. I would stay overnight for them and watch over their pets. I've fed, watched, bathed, and walked their pets for a day or overnight at times as well. I'm currently working part time but only work on Tuesdays from 3:30-5 as of right now. My classes end relatively early but also start later depending on the day so early/mid-day/evening walks/visits are very flexible with my classes and work schedule. I need another source of income and LOVE dogs :) I will give your pet 100% of my attention the entire time I am at your home. I will take them on walks if you request me to and I will play with them until they fall asleep. I will give your dog as much love and care as I would give my own.
“Gabby was fantastic while she watched my dog when I were out of town. Don’t hesitate to book her for your pet care needs while you’re away, it’ll be stress-free booking with her, knowing your pets are well cared for.”

About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was young and always had a great love for all animals. I have had my dog since I was 6 years old and been taking care of her since then. Neighbors and family members have always trusted me taking care of their cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds and I love meeting and forming a connection with them all! I also have experience with senior and special needs as my dog had some behavioral issues in the last few years of her life and she has taught me a lot about having compassion for everyone. 🩷 My school year is over so I am currently home for the summer and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I also am available on breaks as well and would love to walk your dog during those times! I am majoring in animal studies with a minor in environmental studies in college and have a very strong love and passion for all animals. I have a big fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in! My both love all types of pets and are super welcoming.
“We're new to Rover and needed a sitter for our 2 10-year old cats. We're very pleased with Jennifer and Michele. They're very friendly, responsive, easy to work with; and most importantly, they took great care of our kitties. We will absolutely be working with them again in the future!”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks and playtime or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and a little extra care, I’m comfortable adapting to what they need most. I especially love working with energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they thrive on. At the same time, I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are in helping them feel safe and supported. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. As an elementary school teacher, my days are usually built around structure, consistency, and showing up reliably—and I bring that same mindset to pet care. During the summer, my schedule opens up significantly, which allows me to dedicate more time and flexibility to caring for pets in my community. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine right now. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care throughout the week, and I enjoy building my day around making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy doing during my time off, and it’s been a great way to stay active and connected while doing work I care about. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. I know every pet has their own routine, preferences, and personality, so I make it a priority to follow directions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or specific behaviors to watch for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and familiar as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, safe space and adjust based on the pet’s energy level and needs—whether that means lots of playtime or a quieter, more relaxed setting. Communication is really important to me, so I make sure to keep owners updated and reach out if anything seems off. My goal is always to provide care that feels seamless and gives both pets and owners peace of mind.
“Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!”
About: My wife (Bria) and I (Cynde) have extensive experience with cats and dogs. I have experience working with cats and dogs while living in Queens, including senior care and special needs cases. We have 4 fur babies, 2 that have special needs. We love animals and would love to take care of yours! We both work from home and are available in the evenings and weekends. We can be open to daytime needs during the week, which would have to be requested and would likely be before 9 am and during lunchtime. We take care and caution when taking care of others fur babies. This includes meeting beforehand and learning the needs of your fur babies, their schedule, and any special instructions you have. We want to ensure everyone is comfortable prior to starting care.
About: I spent most of my adolescence caring for a sweet and stubborn chihuahua! I walked him, fed him, played with him, snuggled him, took him to vet visits, and more. I now have three wonderful cats who I care for daily. 1 ragdoll and 2 black cats. I am versed in pilling cats, grooming, proper introductions, gaining trust, etc. I am a stay at home wife who will be starting Pilates Teacher Training in the fall of 2026. I have ample time available to tend to your pet care needs! I am willing to come to clients’ homes to walk their dogs, feed their pets, stay overnight, pill their pets, and of course love and care for them with play and snuggles!

“Hannah was great! She did morning check ins with my dog and was always great about writing detailed notes and providing plenty of pictures for the report. Very responsive to communication and followed instructions to a T! Would definitely book again with her.”

About: I have had many types of pets since the age of 3. I’ve taken care of numerous dogs. I have a large yard and live in a quite suburban neighborhood. I have experience giving meds to dogs as well. I am available after 4:30 pm on weekdays and most weekends. I will make arrangements in advance if needed. If I am unavailable on a weekend I will update my schedule. My dog sleeps on my bed with me and has plenty of freedom in the house. I am very flexible with traveling and have my own car.
New Britain dog parents share their Rover experiences
What would we do without lovely Jocelyn to care for our pups as if they were her own? She loves animals and is always kind and warm and professional in her work. It is clear that she is a natural with animals and our dogs love her. She always sends us updates and lets us know know how it is going, one they are outside paying and when they've eaten and are down for the night and up in the morning. She is a treasure!
