“Oh my goodness!! Angie was the best! I have a very nervous dog and she was so patient and kind. I received updates of the dogs daily. She asked questions when she wasn’t sure and in the end my dogs were taken good care of. My house was also left in excellent condition! I would of course use her again! Having 2 dogs with different needs she did an outstanding job! She really is amazing and I appreciate all the time she spent getting to know my pups so they could be good for her.”
“10 Stars! Annie took care of our 3 dogs and our house while we were overseas for 2 weeks and did an exceptional job. She is a natural dog sitter and they absolutely loved her. She walked them and sent us updates every day. And she did a terrific job taking care of our house, too! We will be hiring her again in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have Jillian to care for our pets! Prompt, professional, thorough, communicative, supportive, and animal- sensitive : there are not enough superlatives or stars to reflect our gratitude for Jillian’s work.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
“Callan was great house sitting for our two dogs for several days. He arrived a few mins early to the meet and greet and the dogs warmed up to him right away. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.
“Once again Carol helped us out with Cody and we couldn’t be happier! She is even sharing a few resources to help Cody with her separation anxiety. Carol goes above and beyond!”
“Carla was absolutely wonderful with Milo. She was very attentive and gave him lots of cuddles and love. She kept everything under control and took great care of him, being a senior dog. Definitely a 5 ⭐️”
“Joanna and her daughter are wonderful! I haven’t used Rover in a while and first time for a house sitting request so I was a little anxious. I am so grateful I found Joanna to take care of our two pups and home while we were away. Very communicative and sent every update throughout the stay. Left our home just as tidy. Super pleased she will be watching them again in a couple of weeks! Thank you Joanna and Amelia!”
“Eleni was great and super responsive. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, and was great with our two large pups and their differing needs. She was communicative throughout and they were in high spirits when we returned!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.
“Kindly took a very last minute request, was able to squeeze in a quick visit, and did a fabulous job. Pups were content and happy to have them as company. Easy communication and very nice person all around. I’ll definitely be requesting again!”
About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds after I graduated from college and finally have my own place and free time. Been a professional dog sitter for 8 years. Their needs is always my priority. When I dog sitting, I don’t normally go in and out, I always make sure I stay with them because they feel lonely and nervous about their owner is not around. I walk them every hour, take them to park and dog park. I am now between jobs and taking care of my dog whole day at home. He is a super friendly 11 month old Aussie. Fixed male, he loves all dogs and get along with everyone I have been sitting before. He loves when there’s other dogs around. He has no problem with sharing treats and mom’s attention. We have a 1.5 acre big backyard to let them do business, running and play fetch and I always make sure I am at the yard with them. Our neighborshood is away from traffic, quiet and safe for walking dogs. I take dogs to dog park everyday around 5:00 pm for 1-2 hours to burn the extra energy and boost appetite for dinner. I love just looking at them for hours, pay close attention to dogs. How many time they scratch the ears and how many times they pee and poop. I am also good at cooking fresh nutritious dog meal. My dog loves chicken breast, chicken liver/beef liver, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato meal. I hope my dog Keanu and I can make the stay feels like a vacation and fun for your dog. I have a 3 floor house with big yard, 2 people 1 dog live in the house. The whole first floor is for dogs, with big living room, couch, beds and a crate. Many windows allow them to look front yard and back yard. They can wander around to any floor and room they like, so even if they want some alone time, there are plenty of space for them. I can’t host cats due to my husband allergies, but I always love to go to your place to clean and feed the cats. I am between jobs so I am home 24/7. I go to the yard with dogs every hour to do business or play. Their schedule is always my priority. I always make sure to go to the yard with the dogs. I also have a super friendly 11 month old dog to keep them company
About: As a lifelong owner and former Wag! handler, I provide expert care for your pup. I offer three years of adult handling experience, trusted by family and friends for safe overnights and walks. I just finished a graduate program at UConn and I’m looking for part-time work while I jobs search, so I have plenty of time to care for pups! Safety is my absolute top priority. When staying at your home, I follow a strict protocol to keep your dog and your space secure. I perform immediate walk-throughs to check for any hazards, loose food, or trash left in reach. To prevent door-darting, I never open exterior doors without knowing exactly where your pup is. I strictly adhere to your house rules regarding off-limit rooms or furniture. Additionally, I never leave your dog unattended in the yard, and I double-check all door locks and gates every time I step outside. You will receive regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind. I have a dog of my own, so I would treat your dog with the same care I do with my own!

Yadira provided excellent care for my dog for 3 days and nights. When I returned home, my dog, who can be nervous when I’ve been away, was relaxed and happy. I felt very comfortable knowing Yadira was caring for my home as well. She was communicative and I’m very happy with the care she provided.
Margaret (Maggie) provided excellent care of my dog while I was away for an extended time. I am very grateful for the care she provided to him as I know he had lots of walks, lots of fun and companionship. Maggie always communicated well and we talked through my dog’s routine beforehand. While I was away, I received lots of pictures and pupdates. I would highly recommend Maggies’s assistance with any pet. Thank you very much !
This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Maya took great care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and check-in messages, and we came home to a clean house. She even went the extra step of stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the washer. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would gladly have her sit for us again.
Alyanna took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. Alyanna was very communicative; she checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures of happy pets. Our house was well cared for, as well. We would definitely recommend and book Alyanna for future visits.
