“Sarah saved my behind! She was able to come last minute and spend some time with my dog during the day. He was able to get his exercise and a some cuddles as well. Thank you!”

Erin R.

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Tina kept me thoroughly informed of her daily visits to my two kitties. I appreciated her photos and details on their feeding habits. Most importantly, she kept me updated on my leaking faucet issue. Highly recommended.”

“We have been booking with Tara for almost a year now when we travel and she is the best! She is so loving to our cats and was even able to help us out with an extra unplanned visit when our flight home was cancelled this weekend. We are so glad we have her to take care of our boys when we’re away! ❤️”

“It has to be a really special person for me to feel comfortable leaving someone in my house overnight with my baby. Samantha spent the weekend inmy home and took great care of my shitzhu-bision. She was flexible with her schedule and asked all the right questions. She is very upbeat and enthusiastic. She is confident in her experience and knowledge about dogs. She randomly touched base with me and sent lots of pictures ensuring me that Pippa was very happy. I would absolutely have Samantha come back again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: Salutations, My name is Saori and I have 15+ years caring for animals. Not only have I owned and cared for everything from rodents to livestock, but all ages of pets as well. I studied to be a vet tech and worked for places such as the Animal Medical Center in NYC then eventually became a farmer so I'm capable of helping those in need of Physical Therapy, medication from syringe to pills, and able to notice when a pet is ill and needs additional care. I am also a foster mom for dogs via Paws Rescue League and have placed more than a dozen dogs in the last 2 years. Needless to say I love animals and able to provide your dog (or cat) with the best of care. I work from home at my farm. I rarely vacation so I am home all day and able to have pets in and around my home at all times. I have a farm with two dog friendly dogs. My farms has fenced and gated areas, but I normally let my dogs play outside all day in nice weather. If your dog has good at recall they'll be allowed off leash, but if not they'll have a scheduled day that will include swimming, hikes and lots of pets. If you have a pet that is senior and prefers naps over playtime. We have a specially made dog room with a TV and air conditioning.

“Rachel was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were away. Our request was somewhat last minute and she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. My husband and I were both immediately comfortable with Rachel at our in person visit. We came home to happy kittens and clean litter boxes. We will definitely rebook with Rachel again in the future!”

“Terri took excellent care of our 3 cats while we were away for a week on vacation. She is so warm and loving and we felt immediately at ease after meeting her. She sent us daily photos of our cats during her visits, made sure they were well fed and had fresh water and she even scooped their litter every day and asked if we needed our mail to be brought in. We highly recommend using Terri to care for your pets and we are so happy that we were able to find her through Rover. We definitely plan to request her again in the future!”

“Carolyn is the best! She was able to take care of our beloved puppy on short notice. Great communicator with updates regarding his needs. I would definitely book again, trustworthy, kind and very experienced with dog care. :)”

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Isabella. I am a lifelong animal lover with deep experience caring for a wide range of pets. Most recently, I provided attentive, full-time care for two dogs and five cats over the course of a month in a family household whilst they were on vacation. This included feeding, walking, frequent bathroom breaks, playtime, litter box maintenance, and administering both oral and topical medications with care and precision. And of course, plenty of cuddles with furry friends. I’ve been surrounded by cats since I was in the cradle and have raised multiple kittens throughout my life, giving me a strong understanding of feline needs at every life stage. I currently care for my senior kitty, whose special needs have made me especially attentive, patient, and skilled in administering medications and monitoring health cues. I have had dogs of my own as well and have similar comfort in canine medication needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and most temperaments. I always follow each pet’s lead, respecting their boundaries, and reading their body language and communication to ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether large or small, energetic or shy, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with affection, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility. As I have a (human) psychology BA, I try to apply this knowledge in pet sitting. Each pet is an individual, just like people! I currently work as a paraeducator for elementary students. As a senior cat owner myself, pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not just a job, but a commitment I’ve built my life around. With several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I’ve developed a structured schedule that ensures every pet receives consistent, personalized attention. My day typically starts early with morning feedings and pet space maintenence, and I plan my daily activities around each pet's individual needs, whether it’s administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, longer walks, or providing enrichment and companionship. When providing in-home care, I adapt fully to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I also build in regular text/call and photo updates for pet parents so they feel connected and reassured. Pet care isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I prioritize, and I approach it with the same dedication every day of the week. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes, which allows me to maintain their routines in a familiar, low-stress environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s specific needs—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or playtime—and I follow their routine as closely as possible to provide consistency and comfort. For dogs, that often includes daily walks, backyard or park play, and structured downtime. For cats, I focus on litter box maintenance, interactive play, and creating calm, cozy spaces. I also provide lots of affection and companionship tailored to each pet’s personality. (And if permitted, yummy treats). In every case, I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping spaces clean and tidy, and I keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they always know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I've done house/petsisting in the past & thought I'd get back into it. I can either come to your house (for dogs) or take your cat at my apartment. I currently work full time M-F 8-5. I can do after work or on the weekends. I live in Bethel...so local would be nice to have. I cannot care for dogs at my apartment. I can go to your house or I can take cats. I have a small apartment good for snuggling.

“Madison did such a great job! Appreciate all the text and updates. Will be using you again soon! Thank you.”

“Thanks Rich for taking such good care of our cats! Not only was Richard attentive and caring with our cats, but he also noticed a window we had left partially open by accident and let us know right away! Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have owned dogs such as: Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, as well as mixed breeds. I am truly a dog lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and they will be treated as a part of ours during their stay. I am a homeschooling mom and other than drop-off/pick-up at classes and the occasional errands, I am always around. My husband also works from home. Your pet will rarely be alone! Although my yard is not fenced in, it is surrounded by woods. I do prefer to keep dogs on a leash outside at all times. I have two kids who will give your dog lots of attention and love, as well as family members nearby who always stop in to meet any furry visitors we have!

About: For over 30 years animals have been a very significant and impactful part of my life. Growing up my family always had animals in the house. From household pets to caring for cats off the street, I have gotten to see the amazing capabilities of all different types of creautures. Being able to witness the intelligence of these animals, while also getting to know different personalities and watch them open up after first being hesitant has been a blessing. 5 years ago I turned my passion for animals into a career, and I have built up my clientele mainly through word of mouth, but also by apps such as Facebook, Next door, etc. I am now on Rover to further expand my cliental base and reach new people who may not be on any other social media platforms. I have experience with all types of breeds, administering medications, and working with problem behaviors. This is what I do full-time besides taking care of my two kids. I have tons of availability to care for, love on, and play with your dog or cat (or any animal that may need attention)! I take last minute calls, short term, and long term jobs The most important thing to me when caring for my pets is the safety and comfortability of the space they are in. Whether it may be within the animals own home or my own, my goal is to establish a positive bond with your pet and create a safe and nurturing environment that will lessen the stress and anxiety of being away from family. Integrity and reliability is what I stand by with my care. Dogs that I board in my home are taken on daily walks. With permission I will happily bring them along on adventures to dog parks, hiking trails, and so much more! When dropping in for an at home visit the dogs are also walked and played with. If there is a fenced in backyard I'll take your pup out to play fetch, expel energy, and get some exercise in.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. I’ve been around and taken care of small, medium and large dogs as well as cats. Friends and family members have trusted me to take care of their fur babies. I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible - I’m able to take frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I love animals. I check on them frequently as well as take them on walks as needed. I’m trustable and reliable. I will call or text if needed

“Caroline is an excellent pet sitter! She’s reliable, kind, and sends lots of pictures/videos. It’s so nice to have piece of mind that my babies are taken care of while I’m away ❤️”
