“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 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. I will be working part time over the summer (8-12 Monday-Thursday) so I will have afternoons and nights available during the week. I also have most weekends free. 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.

“Sara was absolutely lovely! She was very comfortable with my dog immediately, asked great questions, was very thorough in her approach to caring for my dog along with providing updates while I was away. We genuinely felt at ease on our first trip away since moving to CT knowing she was caring for our dog. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for pet care.”


“Second time using Terry and I am very impressed and happy with her service. She is great with my pups and cats and takes such wonderful care of them. Terry is reliable, respectful and very responsible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that truly loves their pets and is looking for great care!!”


“I highly recommend Zoe! She did an excellent job taking care of my pet. She was responsible, attentive, and very caring. I truly appreciate her dedication and would definitely trust her again.”



“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: Patient, caring, and experienced with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and multiple pets. Reliable care with lots of playtime, cuddles, and love, plus daily photo updates to give you peace of mind. I work full time during the day but have plenty of availability most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays during the week for quality pet care. Pets in my care enjoy a fenced-in yard and a peaceful neighborhood perfect for walks. I have two friendly, socialized large dogs, but if your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated for everyone's comfort and safety.

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.

“Tara was amazing with our nine year old pit mix rescue , Olive who has severe severe separation anxiety. Tara is a true animal lover and "gets" Olive. Tara was prompt and sent us pictures with updates. Olive warmed up to her and the day went well. We feel very confident in Tara's ability and feel fortunate to have found her.”


About: I have been a dog sitter before, I walk them often and feed them according to the instruction I receive from the owners. I have a high level of patience with dogs, consider myself an animal lover, and love to give them loads of attention. I'm great caring for any breed of dogs whether they are puppies or adult dogs. I can keep you updated on how they behave often. They will be in smoke free and clean environment with plenty of toys. I also have my own dogs, (sadly they do not live with me right now) so I know how important they are to you. I will adjust to their level of energy and will also play along with them when they get the zoomies. Hello! I am excited to take care of your pets. I am currently taking a break from my 9-5 job. I own 3 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 geico, and 4 cats back in Texas although I have been taking care of my sister’s 4 cats for the past month in Connecticut. I am very good at maintaining a clean space and very responsible with taking care of chickens, dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am able to send constant pictures and like to stay active with walks or runs to the park. Hablo español y inglés. I am currently living with my brother and his 4 cats for the next few months so I am usually the one that feeds them in the mornings and evenings. I also have experience fostering dogs/cats from the shelter. I also clean out their box and make sure the give the older boy his medicine.

“Sophie was so communicative with us while we were gone and made sure our dog Lady was receiving the best possible care! Lady loved having her sit and we would definitely book again.”


About: Pets have always been in my life, including during my fight with post-cancer. I'm grateful to posses a unique bond with pets that gives owners ease. I offer daily report cards for pets, pictures sent to you as well as enjoying gifting fun art doodles of their fur babies. I'm a full time tattoo artist of my own studio and create my own schedule for ultimate flexibility for clients and pet owners. I walk 3 miles a day and would love to add some dogs who love to as well. I have 2 indoor cats that were adopted as bonded sisters. Their good food grazing at young ages helps me to have a flexible schedule. I always inquire where all cleaning supplies are located incase of accidents or any health protocols they need. I have experience with giving medications to cats and dog with health needs.

“Tessa watched our sometimes nervous dog and our cat while we were away and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. From the pictures we could tell our dog was completely as ease and enjoying their time together which made us feel so relaxed. Tessa did a great job, we would highly recommend her!”

“Annette was amazing as an overnight pet sitter! She took great care of our pets, provided updates and we returned to a cleaner home than we left. Highly recommend!”


“Cayton was lovely. My dog was nervous on a rainy windy evening and she was so patient and calming with him. She went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged.”


“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 was a wonderful dog sitter for our two dogs - super communicative and we didn't need to worry about them at all while we were away. She was also the perfect house guest and took great care of our home while staying. Would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dogs!”


“Jasmine was great and helped us out in a pinch this weekend. She sent a couple pictures and was responsive to our questions and comments! We definitely would hire her again!”


About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
