I would highly recommend Jolene as your pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover. Having a stranger stay at our house and take care of our dogs made us very nervous , but after meeting with her a few times I felt more at ease with her. She asked all the right questions, she was very professional and my dogs took to her immediately. She did exactly what we needed her to do which included giving one of my dogs medication and a brushing because of a skin issue. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and she left our house spotless, without a trace that she was there. She even asked where my vacuum cleaner was to make sure all dog hair was cleaned up before we got home. I am very pleased with our experience with her and would use her again. Thanks Jolene!!!

Nikki was great for the week with our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone, so we were unsure how it was going to go. She socialized him with her own pups and Nikki sent pics a few times a day with detailed feedback. We came home to a happy pup!!

Danae is a wonderful pet sitter! I was nervous to leave my 5 cats for two weeks but Danae put me as such ease upon first meeting . She was so thoughtful and sent me daily updates of our kitties looking so happy and relaxed.. When we returned our cats looked super content and didn’t seem stressed in the least bit. She truly is an animal lover and it shows on the love she showers upon the cats

Kira was the perfect fit for dog and house sitting! She is very reliable. She must be a dog whisperer! My dog is usually very unsettled after I return from a trip. With Kira, it was like I never left!! I would highly recommend Kira!!!

Our first time using Rover was a complete success. We had Zarah stay with our furbabies and she made the whole process so easy and we felt at ease. Zarah took the time to get to know our girls, we have a Senior dog with cognitive issues and a one year old puppy, she was so kind and caring with them. We appreciate Zarah so much and will definitely be using her services again in the near future.

Tara is great! We have used her twice now and hopefully she will always be available when i go out of town going forward. My dog loves her so much and misses her once she’s gone. She provides many updates and photos. It’s nice to have someone at home that I can trust and that my pets trust too!

Sierra is an amazing dog whisperer who takes excellent care of our three pups. She sends wonderful photos through-out the day of the pups thoroughly being themselves in the cutest possible way. She has watched our pack several rimes now and they are truly happy to see her come back. The peace of mind knowing they are in good hands is priceless!

About: My name is Matthew and I'm a resident of Monroe. My experience includes training and working with Labrador retrievers for field trials as well as obedience training which I started doing 20 years ago. I have also had a dog in my life to be my little best friend for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and all animals for that matter. I'm the proud pet parent of a loving and playful yellow Lab along with 2 cats. My interactions with all types of dogs and animals has been great as long as they are not hostile towards strangers. I treat all pets as if they were one of my own. I'm also available to train or help train. Any questions feel free to ask. Currently searching for work so I decided to reactivate my account since I met so many great furs and people previously. Looking forward to many more. I have and will always treat every animal and property as if it were my own. I absolutely love animals and the special bond that can be made. I have over 30 years of experience training and working with did.

Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.

Jillian has watched/walked my dog on multiple occasions. She has watched him both at my home and at hers. My pup was very happy to have multiple walks a day and loved of snuggles. She was communicative with me when she wasn’t sure about something. She sent me photos often. Highly recommended. She is a professional woman who will treat your pet like her own.

We were very happy with Samantha's overnight stay. Our dogs haven't accepted being alone very well since we were home so much with Covid. They really liked Samantha and they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Samantha took the time to do a long meet and greet and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again if she's available!

About: I train and compete in several dogs sports, I also have several years experience training, raising puppies and senior dog care. My experience is not limited to Dogs, I also have YEARS with Horses, Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks ect. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and create a bond with them. Their time with me will always be treated as they are my own. My pups instagram featuring our clients : @the.steadfast.squad @steadfastk9services I also offer training! Message me to chat about your pets future! 😀 I have a very flexible Schedule! I’m usually between Bethel, Redding, Litchfield, New Milford, as well as parts of NY on most days and happy to either stop along the way or venture out some more! My number 1 goal is to always provide your pet with a safe, stress-free, fun experience! I have dogs of my own and I know how stressful it can be to leave them with a pet-sitter for any length of time for both you and your pet. Which also means for daycare and boarding dogs they are not sitting in a crate the majority of the time. I care and treat everyone’s pets like my own. Depending on your pet and individual needs, energy levels I can and I will adapt to give your pets what it needs to be happy. Whether is going for a run or Hike, playing fetch, or a good ol’ fashion cuddle session I’m here for it!

About: Hello! I grew up with large dogs and upon moving out from my home have had dogs, fish, and cats ever since. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, and cats for over 20 years. I currently have three incredibly friendly and easy going dogs, including a remarkable Labrador retriever pup. I am currently retiring from a career in federal law enforcement. I am available most days and nights for your pets care. I understand the importance of pet diets, exercise, and socialization and make it a priority. My home is my pets home. We have a large 1.5 acre invisible fenced in yard surrounded by woods and a long front yard away from the road. The other dogs tend to stick together and my lab puppy learned the yard by just following around our German shorthaired pointer and older mastiff. Any other questions just ask!

Caroline took wonderful care of our 15 year old dachsund Lucy! It was also wonderful to come home to our house in the same condition we left it. That is very important to us, as in the past we had a experience coming home to a total disaster. We highly recommend Caroline and will most definitely contact her for future pet care! Thank you again Caroline!
