About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.
“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”

About: With over 10 years of experience as a dog owner and a year of caring for a cat, my deep love for animals drives everything I do. Having worked at Valley Shore Animal Welfare Center and currently working at Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and understanding their unique needs. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I know how to adjust walks, feeding routines, and enrichment activities to keep every pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I am committed to providing safe, engaging walks, following your pet’s routine with care, and most importantly, making them feel loved and cherished while you're away. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands. My work schedule varies from month to month. For June, I work Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, so I am unavailable during those hours. Outside of that time, I am happy to accommodate pet care requests whenever possible. Weekdays: Flexible mornings and evenings (e.g., 7 AM–10 AM & 4 PM–8 PM) Weekends: Most of the day (e.g., 9 AM–6 PM)- Flexible Last-Minute Requests: Often available for short notice visits/walk I care for pets with the same love and attention as I would my own, whether in my home or yours. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure by sticking to their familiar routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I always ensure they get plenty of love and attention, so they never feel lonely or stressed.

“I can't say enough good things about Paris! She has been walking my dog twice a week, and I've been incredibly impressed with her professionalism and care. Paris is sweet, responsible, and dependable—qualities that are so important when it comes to trusting someone with your pet. Not only does she ensure my dog gets the exercise she needs, but she also helps with basic training during their walks. I've noticed a real improvement in my dog's behavior and responsiveness, thanks to Paris's attention and guidance. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Paris to anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker!”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve babysat for families with pets since age 13 and have been dog sitting since age 16. I’m experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, and basic care. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on keeping pets safe and happy. I’m a college student-athlete with a generally flexible schedule. I have three set practices each week, but outside of that I’m available for dog walking and pet care, especially afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine. I provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always prioritize safety and follow all routines closely, including feeding, walking, and any special instructions. As a student-athlete, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I treat every pet and home with respect.
“Did an amazing job in such short notice. Kept in close contact with us about when she got to our house and what was going on. Gave us pics to make sure all was right with our 4 dogs. We will definitely use her again.”


About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.

About: I have been a for-hire pet care-taker (Dogs & Cats primarily) for over 16 years now. Recently with two dogs of my own, I know exactly what it takes to show the love and care that your pet needs to not only feel safe but enjoy their stay! Since having to put both of my best friends (Tanzi and Spencer) down, This Rover app has really helped heal myself by having the opportunity to care for your pets. Losing a fur baby is never easy, but thank you for the opportunity to share in the love for your pets! I currently work full time as a salesman but luckily have been afforded the opportunity to work remote which means my schedule is wide open! As every pet is different, part of my process is having a “Pre-care Planning” call with all of my clients. This is where we discuss special needs, preferences, etc. My job is delivering the same level of care your pet would receive by you, the Pet Parent!
About: I am an exceptional dog trainer which is another service that I provide. I don't mind working with troubled or hard cases. Raised dogs half my life. Used to be deeply involved with different rescue operations and local vets to do what I can for these pups. Also have experience with dog boarding at corporate facilities however I run everything right out of my home. So it's more like visiting your pups uncle Marco rather than a lil puppy prison. My other day job is taking care of my handicapped mother so no reason that I can't take care if some furry balls of move too while I'm at it! I'm home often which is where I board and watch the puppers. So we have a fenced in back yard and a large house. My mother does smoke but only upstairs and in her room. Bad mother! However its relatively isolated and isnt noticeable from downstairs. We have a 5 year old labrador retriever and small house cat to keep any visitors entertained! They are both very playful, gentle and non aggressive
“Raeven is phenomenal! Since the first day our puppy has been so much calmer having Raeven check in with her and playing! We’ve only been using Raeven since and the quality of care to our pup has been amazing! Would recommend to anyone!”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Branford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
