“We are so thankful we found Elizabeth & Cole to watch our pup Ellie. Elizabeth was kind enough to pick her up from our home and drop her off before we got back from our trip! We will absolutely be using them in the future!!”
“Second time leaving Cobie with Diana and her family and Cobie couldn’t have been more excited when we pulled back up to the house! So grateful to find someone to look after her like she was their own, that sends tons of updates and enjoys her quirky lovable Golden vibes. Thanks again and 100% will reach out next time I travel to see you all can watch Cobie again!”
“Barbara is TRULY AMAZING with my dog Bentley . This was his 2nd stay and she’s made me more than comfortable this time around . She followed all the directions giving regarding my dog. He i truly didn’t have any worries concerns ...”
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“Elizaveta took such good care of Storm! She sent me pictures and videos throughout Storm’s stay and she along so well with Elizaveta’s puppy. Having just moved to the area, I’m so happy I found someone I feel comfortable leaving my baby with.”
“Lindsay is amazing! She sent me regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog Piper had so much fun during her stay, and Lindsay shared a bunch of photos along the way. She will be my first call next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
About: I love dogs; I treat them as if they were another child in my family. They are always by my side, and I make sure they are doing well. I have a morning job, so I'm free in the afternoon to look after your dog—I love sleeping with them. I’m also free on Fridays and Saturdays to care for them. I take them for walks and make sure they drink water and eat well. I give them plenty of affection, always looking out for their well-being and making sure they feel right at home.
“Gwynne did such an amazing job taking care of our almost two year old yellow lab, Riley. She checked-in with us regularly to provide updates about how Riley was doing and would send pictures. Riley got in lots of play time and walks with Flash, too, which I know that she loved. I highly recommend Gwynne. We plan on using her again soon!”
About: Hi all! I just recently graduated from Bates college and am looking to pet sit! I’ve been taking care of family dogs and cats my whole life, but have been pet sitting for others for about 10 years now. I am looking to go back to school in the future to get my doctorate in physical therapy, but in the meantime I’ll be home throughout this school year! I currently am working part time as a physical therapy aide. I am free on both weekdays and weekends, I just ask that you contact me in advance! On Mondays I work 2-7, and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I work 7am-12pm. I can stay in your home to pet sit, or I can make frequent stops to feed them, play with them, and take them out to use the bathroom! I am available for one day gigs or for long term!
“Our boy has a great time with Cristina! He loves playing in the yard and snuggling up with some blankets at her place. She’s super communicative and takes amazing pictures of him. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany (and Mom!) is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. Marley is a rescue and usually quite skittish around new people / dogs so She tries to find a way to run off when she’s scared. Brittany’s home is very secure and I felt so at ease. Marley was treated as one of their own, got tons of TLC and made new friends while I was away. Thank you so much 😊”

“Jolysa was so lovely with my senior, vision-impaired, VERY anxious pup. It's rare to find a sitter who is as patient and kind as Jolysa was with Enzo and I'm so grateful! Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Canaan
Melissa took wonderful care of my Cavapoo Mia for three weeks, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was extremely caring, reliable, and flexible, and her pick-up and drop-off service was incredibly convenient. Melissa kept me updated throughout the stay with frequent pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Her backyard was also a huge advantage for Mia, since she loves running outside without leash! I highly recommend Melissa and would absolutely have her care for I again!
Wendy was an absolute blessing. I’m so incredibly thankful for the care she gave my little girl while I was recovering from surgery. I had so many things to worry about, but Boo wasn’t one of them. Wendy sent multiple updates and the most beautiful pictures every day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for someone who will care for their fur babies like they’re her own. ❤️

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
