House Sitting in New London

About: I volunteered so much the guy who ran the shelter told me I need more human friends 😅😂 I jog twice a day, once in the morning and right before sunset, and would love to bring your furry friend along with me! I don’t have my own pets so your dog will have all of my attention. Volunteering at an animal shelter for 5 years taught me so much about different breeds. The main thing I learned is that every dog is just as unique as every human. Their like kids, you need to earn their trust and when you do it’s super rewarding. Message me with ANY questions I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. So our required meet and greet can be at your earliest convenience and will only take 5-15 minutes.

“Lauren was amazing. She was very easy to contact both before and during the stay. We have never left my dog ever. She comes with us on trips. However, this was my son's wedding and everyone was staying at an air b&b where there were no dogs allowed. I did not have to worry at all. Lauren sent updates including pictures every day. I am definitely going to call Lauren in the future. I highly recommend her to be your go to sitter.”

“Anna was very communicative before and during our booking. She sent both photos and videos, which were very much appreciated. We had an issue with our house while Anna was dropping in, and she was very helpful while we were stressing out.”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs, today both my sisters have a dog; a Golden Retriever & a German Shepard. I have watched and cared for both of them, as well as pet/house sitting for other family & friends. I also became a cat dad when I adopted a six year old cat three years ago! I just moved to CT so while I search for a job I decided to join Rover!! 6am-10pm 7 days a week I am available! I can be an early bird or a night owl & I love all animals! I can take your pet on a long run or a short walk and anything in between! Most of my experience is with bigger dog breeds like German Shepard, Golden Retriever, & Pit Bull. I have also cared for French Bull Dogs and other unknown dog breeds. I would love to work with any animals! My favorite part is learning how unique each animals is & getting to know their personalities!!

“Terri is fabulous! She is professional and nurturing. Both my cat and dog warmed up to her immediately. I never worry about my pets or my home when Terri is pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”

About: We care for our furry friends as if they are our children. We’ve never met a dog we didn’t fall in love with. I started training with dogs when I was in elementary school and never stopped. I got my Doberman Rowan right after graduating college and trained him myself starting at 8 weeks old. He grew into the most intelligent and obedient dog who blew away everyone with his performance and kind and calm nature. We know how important consistency is with ongoing training and we will be sure to conform to whatever your preferences are. Our Rowan had a series of health issues including several emergency events which taught us much about not only how to handle emergencies but also how to prevent them with careful monitoring, medicine administering, and providing them what they need. Our training continued when we foster-failed with our mix Suki, a friendly, mild mannered and sweet 1.5 year old. While our Rowan only lives on in spirit, Suki will entertain, play, and cuddle with your friend like they’re her sister. With my fully remote job I’m home all day. Cloé is a PhD student with variable schedules, so between the two of us your dog will get lots of stimulation, care, and attention. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. We’re here to help! If your dog is reliable off leash we have many options to get them exercised. I often run with Suki at Bluff Point and if your dog is up for it they could easily join us. We also take our dogs to several other trails in the surrounding area to provide them with stimulation through smells, meeting other dogs, and chasing squirrels. We truly know what it means to give your dog the stimulation and care they need. Our heart would hurt too much otherwise!

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! I have experience with dogs, cats, large animals, reptiles and pocket pets. I have the knowledge to handle emergency situations if needed and can administer injections, sub Q fluids, medications etc. I offers nail trimming for well behaved dogs/cats. Have a high energy dog that needs a little extra enrichment? No problem! I love to hike! I'm currently apprenticeing to become a licensed dog trainer and can offer basic training as well! My animals are my life, so let me take care of yours like they're my own! I currently work full time at a veterinary hospital from 745-530. I have every Wednesday off and most weekends. I do work and occasional Saturday from 8-12. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats all are very well behaved and I know them well. They have a routine schedule of training daycare and enrichment. I have a dog room equipped with a camera for when I'm not home. Only one of my dogs are crated during the day because she's only a baby. I do have several crate sizes available if needed while staying with me. I have a fenced in yard and enjoy a weekend hike with my fur babies! My cats have window perches several cat trees and scratching posts. They have there own toy basket seperate from the dogs and are just as spoiled! We have several cat doors which allow the cats to escape the dogs when they prefer. I have a strict cleaning schedule my dogs get bathed monthly and are given flea/tick/heartworm prevention along with my cats. Bedding is washed weekly. Pretty much everything is washable in my house, when you have as many pets as I do it has to be! I have several enrichment toys that I rotate through for those rainy days. I do bring a few of my dogs to work with me as well if it's going to be a long day but my husband works very short days and is usually home.

“My stubborn old rescue chow liked her. What more could you want.”

“My wife and I were recently in a bind. We had booked travel to Italy, with the plan of having our parents house-sit for us while we were gone. Those plans fell through, and we first considered a kennel for our dog Brutus, and our two cats. The problem with that was firstly, it was super expensive and secondly we were going to be gone for nearly three weeks and didn't like the idea of Brutus being in a cage for so long. We stumbled upon Rover.com where we were lucky enough to find Tara. Although we were a little wary of someone we didn't know watching our beloved pets and watching our home, the first meeting with Tara really put us at ease. She explained her schedule, told us of her experience and even made recommendations on what to leave in case of emergencies. While we were out of the country Tara kept us in the loop of everything that was going on, even when our cat scratched the dog on the nose (aww.). She sent pictures regularly and was wonderful through the whole process. All of that and her prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a pet-sitter or house-sitter and will certainly use her the next time I go out of town!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.

“Nastia was excellent! She had great questions during our meet and greet that showed me how contentious she is. She was a great communicator before and during the visit. She had a minor issue come up with my dogs and she immediately called me to discuss it. I was grateful that she reached out. The call and how she managed the issue made me really trust her judgement and professionalism. I’m so glad we found her and we will certainly use her again.”

About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. Once turned adult I was always the go to dog/cat/house sitter. I’m retired LEO and have a lot of time on my hands to share with my pup and yours! I’m currently retired and have no fixed schedule at the moment. My husband is only off Sunday and Monday and would prefer not to work while he’s off but am willing to compromise! I do live in an apartment but have a walking trail just 7 minutes away that my pup loves. Plus the complex is pet and walk friendly.

About: I have hands on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra attention, gentle handling, and sometimes medication. I’m confident in managing different temperaments, following routines closely, and creating a calm, safe environment, genuine love will never miss. I'm currently free and taking a break during summer as I wanna be home training my pup so I this time sets perfect to make connections with other pets as well and emphasize doggie daycare and my services in rover. House with a fenced, green and shade backyard, crate in case client wants use it, different cognitive toys, and a buddy to play with will make your pet feel love as safe and sound.

“I have two cats that get very upset when I'm away, but Emma took care of them like they were her own and they were two happy boys when I got back. So grateful for the care and thought she put into our boys and our home”

“Julia took excellent care of both our pup and our home! Our Frenchie has back issues and Julia was very sensitive to them, and comfortable caring for her despite them. We will definitely book with Julia again!”

“Kate was absolutely amazing with our two large breed dogs and a cat. She stayed at our home and took care of our pets for a long weekend. Kate kept me updated on how the pets were doing and what was going on at the house. She gave one of our dogs oral medication every 12 hours and sent texts when the medications were administered. Kate gave all my pets love and attention, walks, belly rubs, and even made a fun video of the pets while she was here. I felt so happy and relaxed leaving my fur babies with her. I can’t wait to rebook Kate!”

Lynne G.

“She was awesome she left a little report card for our pups that included how they were and what to improve for them.I felt better knowing she was there with my babies while I was away for a family trip. So much better than boarding. Will being using this service again for sure!!”
