“Marii is the absolute sweetest, and did such a great job checking in on our doggie! She was kind, communicative, and made sure to give us a thorough update/lots of pictures, even though the check in was just an hour long! She also came up meet Lucy before the actual check-in, which was so nice of her! Thank you, will definitely be booking again!!!”
“Tara took wonderful care of our 10 week old puppy! She came to meet her beforehand and spent time with her to get to know her. She asked a lot of questions and gave us some great advice from her past experiences with dogs. She is very knowledgeable and loves animals. We will definitely be asking Tara to come back again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I have a specialty on small dogs. Puppies, micro dogs, tiny dogs, and small dogs is what we try to focus on because not everyone is used to having dogs that are these sizes and I like giving people peace of mind that their family member will be in good hands. I love animals and being able to be offering a nice service to others is really fun. It’s an experience not just a task to complete. I can walk your dog. Help with training them. So organized meals or help with medicine giving. if you have any specific needs for your pet I’m here at your service.
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
“Liz took care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. To be able to be away, have daily updates and come home to happy animals was great. Liz does a great job, highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals on and off throughout my life. Since I can’t have my own right now, let me take care of and love on yours! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I can be available to do drop-ins, or take your dog for a walk during the day or evening. I’m happy to consider weekly recurring visits once we’ve met and decided it’s a good fit for both humans and animals! In your home I take your lead and provide the care that is most comfortable for both you and your pet. Let me know how best to care for your dog or cat!
“Anna is fantastic! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat sushi and making sure he was well taken care of. He took a liking to her straight away. She truly has done a wonderful job. I would recommend Anna to anyone! We have definitely found our new cat sitter!”
About: I may not have experience in pet care but from my own experience with my pup. I will love your pets as if they were my own, i love all animals and if I could I would take in every stray dog or cat or any animal into my home. Anyone who knows me will say the same, I hope that even with my little experience you will still consider me. My love for animals is a lot that it might even be an obsession but I can’t help it, i am not afraid to say this but sometimes I prefer animals than people haha. It is honestly such a gift to have such loyal creatures in our lives, it’s another kind of happiness. Thank you

About: Hi! My name is Madi and I’m new to the Southeastern CT area. I have two rescue mutts of my own who I train/walk daily. One of them struggles through some traumatic experiences and anxiety - so I am unable to board but happy to come to you! I love getting to know new animals and their personalities in order to best meet their needs. I’m currently working part time so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I have some early AM availability and my afternoons/evenings are currently pretty open. I understand the importance of maintaining a dog’s schedule and will happily follow your instructions. I’m comfortable with all size/breeds and am always down to play! At the same time, I understand the importance of alone time and allowing a dog to decompress in their own space.
About: I love animals and have a lot of experience with dogs, specifically bully breeds. I am a lover of all dogs too, but bully breeds and rescues have a special place in my heart. I take care of animals and enjoy doing it. I mostly work from home so it makes it easy to walk and/or do a visit for folks during the day. I am pro leash and never let animals off leash in my care. I am a very attentive person and pay attention to behavior too. I am also very experienced with rescues and feel comfortable working with most animals.
About: I've watched dogs, cats and even chickens for various friends, family and neighbors for over 10 years. I have experience with various breeds and ages of animals. I work in a hybrid elementary/middle school. I am available before work and anytime after starting around 3. I'm very flexible and can meet any schedule that fits your life. I have raised many dogs from puppies over the years. We have had daschunds, pitbulls and my sisters have large dog such as huskeys that I've helped watch as well.
“Ansley was amazing! She was either always early or stayed later! My babies received love and exercise. She communicated anything ahead of time, and sent pictures regularly. Would recommend and will be using again!”
“Trinity is always so great with Dexter - he gets crazy excited when he sees her coming! I’d recommend her to anyone especially that might be nervous about leaving your pet for a while or the first time, because she takes extra special care. Super trustworthy too and a sweet girl that loves animals!”
About: I have been a dog enthusiast for as long as I can remember. In my early twenties I found myself dog sitting often, and began volunteering at the Connecticut Humane Society as a dog walker and trainer. My passion for animals and nature fuels my desire to pet sit and dog walk full time. I am a student whose primary income is in dog walking and pet sitting. This means I am committed to giving your pet the attention and care they deserve! I have a family of my own but their routine is flexible. *I am on campus Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, thus unavailable for drop-ins between 7am and 6pm. I am comfortable working in other peoples' homes. I love to spend time with animals in their natural environment, and find myself tidying when I'm there. I will often leave your home cleaner than I found it! It's in my nature to take care of the spaces I inhabit, and I do so with absolute respect. I take great care to protect the privacy of my clients while I nurture their pets and living space.
New London dog parents share their Rover experiences
Terry is the absolute best dog sitter! She is wonderful with our dog and very professional! We’ve had Terry as our dog sitter for several years when we go on vacations or weekend get aways. As our dog has gotten older, we don’t worry at all that she will be taken care of while in Terry’s care. I highly recommend Terry for pets young and old. Thank you Terry!
If I could give a 1000 stars I would!!! Torie was absolutely a gem. It was last minute and she truly is Mrs Dolittle. Willow our dachshund had such an amazing time. And went right to Torie i know he felt loved because, the pictures really tell a story. Thank you soo much Torie for loving him the way we do. We will be forever thankful to you. Love Willow and his family.
Olivia accommodated a short-notice request without missing a beat. Took the time to meet Rosco and Roxy beforehand, sent great updates and photos throughout the day. It was clear they enjoyed every visit and were well taken care of. Reliable, communicative, genuinely caring. Highly recommend.
Carolina was great! She stopped in morning and night to feed, give water, and play with our Australian shepherd for a few nights. Luna had so much fun with her and was still a happy girl when we got home. She sent lots of pictures and videos and asked clarifying questions to make sure everything was as it should be! I would book her again for her awesome help
George did an amazing job with my dog. He was super attentive to details and called to update me after each check in. Very affordable and all around very good person that really cares about the animal’s comfort and happiness and will go out of his way to ensure it! Highly recommended!
