“Edmy and Craig did a great job caring our cat while we were out of town and kept us updated with pictures. We felt confident he was in good hands and we will use them again.”

About: Hi I am Stephanie. I am a life long dog owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a Cavapoo named Sophie who is my little ball of attitude. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, labs, cocker spaniel, doodles, German shepherds,and French Bulldogs. I am willing to watch in your home as my girl isn't fond of guests. I work full time but depending on the area of town I am available for midday walks and care as well more and evening. I would love to provide amazing care for your pup while you enjoy a relaxing vacation or are out of town for any reason. I currently work full time on the north side of town but am located in New Haven in. I get 1 hr for lunch and if you are located huntertown or in this area I can definitely do midday walks and cuddles. Walks, let on lead, electric fence or anyway you prefer your pets to do their business. Feeding, playing and of course cuddles to begin and end the day.
“Tracy was an excellent choice. He took great care of our kittens, took pictures, and was always available should we have any questions. We would happily work with Tracy in the future and would highly recommend him.”
“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experienced every stage of life. Whether you’ve had your dog for 10 weeks or 10 years, I’m confident I will be able to give the best care they deserve! I currently work full time, so my availability is 6am-8am and 7pm-10pm on the weekdays. I’d love to start my morning or end my day taking care of your dog! I’m not available Thursday evenings, certain Saturdays due to work schedule, and Sundays. I’ll make sure to update my availability as soon as know of upcoming events! We have always crated our dogs in the past so I am very familiar with crating and the safe space a crate can provide for a dog. When it comes to walking dogs, I believe in giving them the freedom to explore around them (sniff the ground, watch a squirrel, etc) while still remaining in control of the walk. I also make sure to stay aware of my surroundings to ensure there are no cars coming, children running by, or things blocking the path for us to continue our walk.
About: I have had my own dogs, plus taken care of my friends dogs in my home for 20+ years. I also have 4 dog adoring teenagers who also will love on your fur baby. We have a 2 year old Morkie with a big personality. I am a stay at home homeschool mom. Other than taking teens to/from work or at the gym, I am routinely home for dog care. There is rarely a time when I or one of my children isn’t home. I am able to walk your dog at our home or yours, or let them in our fenced back yard if they are staying with me. I have a 6 pound Morkie (Winston) that likes other dogs (and cats)-he has many dog cousins who live with my adult kids and visit frequently.
“Jennifer is so wonderful with both of our cats! She’s attentive to them and makes sure to play a bit while she visits. I really appreciate the detailed summary and lots of photos from each visit too.”
“Charity is great, my pup is very shy and timid but Charity was very patient and gentle with her. This was our first time leaving her for multiple days so the updates were very appreciated. Thank you Charity, we'll definitely be using her again for any future needs!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life. From lizards, to birds, cats and dogs, you name it. For the last 3 years I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends as an in house sitter. I am currently working full time, however, my work life is very flexible with flexible hours. I can do middle of the day check ins if that is what you would prefer with no problem. I do spend a lot of time with the pets late afternoons to late evenings if I am not staying in the residence. When caring for pets in your home, I encourage a very detailed day to day that your pet has so I do not break from that routine for them as much as possible. It’s my hope for you and your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No needs or routine is too inconsiderate for me.
About: I've Love Pet Sitting each new pet is like a small new adventure i love getting to know your pets and building relationships with you. I Work part time 1-2 times a week 4 hours only I’m currently looking to dog sit full time im available pretty much all the time.im used to short notice and long term stays with them. I currently don’t have a dog at my house. But at my parents house they have a pool,AC and a fenced yard with astro turf.

About: I have two beautiful huskies since they were puppies and have taken care of many type of dogs. I have experienced with any age range from puppy potty training staged to elder doggies. I’m currently working full time at a home care agency. I’ll be available to play, walk, and give love to your doggies in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. Every doggies are not the same and each and every one needs their own tailored care plan. Trust that your doggies will be well taken care of without any worries.
About: Growing up on a farm, I've had the pleasure of taking care of both small and big fur friends. I have experience with small house dogs, as well as barn cats and our Great Pyrenees and a German Shepard. I am also a medical professional, so I am comfortable with medication and lifestyle management for your furry family member! I am currently a full-time student with a focus in Pre-Medicine. I also work as an EMT part-time on a 911 service. Although signing up with Rover is allowing me to provide a safe, caring, and loving environment; I will also be getting the opportunity to experience time with your one of a kind fur family! I believe that pets provide just as much for us (if not more)! Coming into your home with your fur baby, I would ensure that they feel that nothing has changed. I'd keep their same routine, whether it be feeding times, walking times, etc. As stated earlier, I am also comfortable managing medications or any special care your fur baby may need!

About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. Providing your house and/or your pets is the priority while you are away/or needing services. Let me provide you the peace of mind that your house and your pets will receive the highest quality of attention. I have lived in many countries, led international mission trips, and have cared for many owner's houses/pets.
About: I have experience in caring for senior and disabled dogs, especially blind ones. I have also reared and house trained two puppies to adulthood and are still with my family to this day. They can walk unleashed (never with your babies tho!) and even know protective commands. I am currently homebound so your doggy will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby and would enjoy a companion on walks in my neighborhood and in nearby parks. I always have leashes and body vest on the door at the ready for any potty breaks and walks, no fence no problem. Stairs and basements will be blocked off all times to ensure safety and rooms will always remain closed. For house guests, we have an end table crate to ensure visibility when I am just resting. There is a regular metal crate and a spare room dedicated to any overwhelmed doggy.
About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. I have flexible hours and can work around your schedule, anything you need I can do from dog baths to walks at the park. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!
“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”

“My kitties are usually the kind that hide with strangers. They came out every time Mariah dropped in to check on them , and she sent pictures!!!! I would definitely use her again . Thanks again !!!!”

About: I have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.
