“Jolene did a great job watching Gwen! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, followed instructions, and took great care of Gwen (including playtime and zoomies!). Would definitely book again. Thanks so much, Jolene!”


27. Amanda R.
“I can’t think of anyone better to care for your pet. She’s a compassionate and caring pet parent herself and takes time to give love, attention, and care to hers and others pets. Very punctual and great personality. If you want someone to more than just walk or petsir your pet - Amanda is the perfect person for it. She will treat your pet as of its her own!”


28. Lyn B.
“ I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Lyn B. as a pet sitter! Lyn looked after my cat Milo for a week in December 2016. She listened carefully and asked great questions about my pet's needs before I left town. Trusting her with my cat and my key was no problem at all. I was completely confident that she would be a great pet sitter. And I was right! I came home to a happy, contented, totally relaxed cat. Everything was clean and well organized and she'd left me great notes about Milo's Christmas vacation. I really like Lyn and you will too! She is smart, friendly, and extremely responsible. I will definitely book her again for my next vacation! 10 out of 10!!”

30. Jillian M.
“Jillian is one of the most caring, compassionate, and most importantly, responsible people I know. She is communicative and I trust her 100% to take care of my pets! You can trust she will love and care for your fur baby the same way you would! Cannot recommend booking with her enough.”


31. Carlie B.

“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”


32. Abby S.

“After a last minute change in plans we found ourselves without someone to care for our dog (who’s not the friendliest with other dogs). After reading reviews on Abby, we decided to open our home to a stranger, and couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only was our dog spared the anxiety trip to the kennel but Abby respected our home as if it were her own. Strongly recommended.”


33. Alexis M.

“Zoey is always very happy when Alexis comes. She is always on time and very reliable. She always communicates with us about what she had done with Zoey. This last time she spent a lot time playing with Zoey which she loved!”


34. Christian Z.
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to each pet's needs. I’m experienced in caring for both puppies and senior pets, with a special focus on gentle training and providing tailored care. Whether it’s administering medications to older pets, offering puppy potty training, or simply giving extra attention to pets with special requirements, I ensure every pet feels loved and safe while you're away. I also take the time to keep pets active, mentally engaged, and comfortable in their familiar environment, so they don’t feel stressed during your absence. As someone who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and check-ins during breaks or between work tasks. I also enjoy setting aside time in the mornings and evenings for more quality interactions, like feeding, cuddles, or even short training sessions. My remote setup means I'm available for quick updates and care whenever needed, making it easy to accommodate last-minute requests or provide continuous support for your pet. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring they have access to their favorite toys, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of opportunities for play and exercise. I maintain a routine similar to their own, so they feel at ease. I have a fenced in yard so there is plenty of opportunity for exercise/play time. If I’m sitting in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s usual schedule—whether that’s feeding, walks, or special care routines. I always ensure their environment stays familiar, reducing stress and keeping them as comfortable as possible. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize routine, love, and attention to keep pets feeling secure and happy.


35. Anaiyah S.

“Anaiyah is a wonderful sitter! She was very attentive with my cat and made sure he was eating and drinking. She sent pictures of my cat everyday and made me feel confident that my cat was taken well care of. I will be booking Anaiyah again!”


36. Caroline M.
“Caroline is an excellent, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter! She has pet sat and walked our dog Fisher several times over the summer while we have been away! She is the only person we have trusted to watch our dog!”


37. Marquetta H.

About: I am an experienced emergency veterinary technician with about five years in the animal medical field. With a passion for staying busy and spending time with animals, I make the most of my free days by working with Rover, ensuring your fur baby is surrounded by love and having a blast (while you’re away at a business meeting not having as much fun 😝😂) Pet Care is all I know. My first job was working at a doggie daycare in Brooklyn,NY and now I work at an Emergency Veterinary Hospital in Cos Cob, CT. Talk about learning new skills and moving on up! Entrusting your pet at an animal hospital is the same level of care you will be receiving when you entrust me with your pet in my home. Equipped with multiple doggie cameras and a in house playmate (my dog)! You’re welcome to bring their beds, cages, toys, bowls, etc.


38. Lauren A.
“Lauren has been the perfect dog-sitter for our family. She has been flexible and accommodating. Lauren is energetic and loves to take our dog on multiple walks during the day. She does a great job of sending pictures and updates while we are gone. I never have to worry when Lauren is watching our sweet pup. She has become apart of the family!”


39. Julie C.

“We loved Julie! She was great with our dogs and sent me pictures along the way. She even made sure their wet paws were clean! We will def use her again :)”


40. Will H.
About: There are a lot of animals i have taken care over the years, consisting of the two older dogs for my family, my dads younger dog as well as my girlfriends 1 and half year old dog. I frequently walk my neighbors dog when he goes away for the weekend I work full time during the week but am available most days after 5:30.
