“Renee was great with our dogs. She came and visited before her first house sitting for us and the dogs acclimated to her quickly. When we got home we could tell our dogs were well taken care of. We will have her house sit again for us.”
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.
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs, today both my sisters have a dog; a Golden Retriever & a German Shepard. I have watched and cared for both of them, as well as pet/house sitting for other family & friends. I also became a cat dad when I adopted a six year old cat three years ago! I just moved to CT so while I search for a job I decided to join Rover!! 6am-10pm 7 days a week I am available! I can be an early bird or a night owl & I love all animals! I can take your pet on a long run or a short walk and anything in between! Most of my experience is with bigger dog breeds like German Shepard, Golden Retriever, & Pit Bull. I have also cared for French Bull Dogs and other unknown dog breeds. I would love to work with any animals! My favorite part is learning how unique each animals is & getting to know their personalities!!
About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Black Lab—so I know how special that bond is. I love spending time outside and going on long walks or peaceful wooded path strolls. I’m patient, affectionate, and happy to match your dog’s energy, whether they need active play or just some company. I treat every dog like family and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a student with fully online, asynchronous classes, so my schedule is wide open! I’m flexible for walks, visits, overnights—whatever your pet needs at anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep routines consistent and reduce stress. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, or written reports so you always feel informed. I can administer medication if needed and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I also will respect your home and property, and always aim to leave things just as I found them.
About: We care for our furry friends as if they are our children. We’ve never met a dog we didn’t fall in love with. I started training with dogs when I was in elementary school and never stopped. I got my Doberman Rowan right after graduating college and trained him myself starting at 8 weeks old. He grew into the most intelligent and obedient dog who blew away everyone with his performance and kind and calm nature. We know how important consistency is with ongoing training and we will be sure to conform to whatever your preferences are. Our Rowan had a series of health issues including several emergency events which taught us much about not only how to handle emergencies but also how to prevent them with careful monitoring, medicine administering, and providing them what they need. Our training continued when we foster-failed with our mix Suki, a friendly, mild mannered and sweet 1.5 year old. While our Rowan only lives on in spirit, Suki will entertain, play, and cuddle with your friend like they’re her sister. With my fully remote job I’m home all day. Cloé is a PhD student with variable schedules, so between the two of us your dog will get lots of stimulation, care, and attention. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. We’re here to help! If your dog is reliable off leash we have many options to get them exercised. I often run with Suki at Bluff Point and if your dog is up for it they could easily join us. We also take our dogs to several other trails in the surrounding area to provide them with stimulation through smells, meeting other dogs, and chasing squirrels. We truly know what it means to give your dog the stimulation and care they need. Our heart would hurt too much otherwise!
“Anna is a reliable pet sitter. All three of our furry family members are relaxed and happy when we return, especially our golden retriever who enjoys her walks and outings with Anna.”

“Emi was very responsive and communicative. She kept me updated with pictures and arrival and departure times. My doggie Ezra was cool and happy when I returned home. She also kept my place very neat. I highly recommend Emi!!”
About: I’ve taken care German Shepherds, Labs, Weimaraner and mixed breeds. I currently care for my four rescue dogs ranging from 9 yrs to 3 yrs old. All were 5 months old except for my Weim, which we rescued at 1.5 yrs. Been around and cared for dogs since I was 12yrs old. I work from home on Fridays with a flexible schedule and off on weekends to allow me to give plenty of attention and exercise to your dog. I will follow the written instructions of your dog’s routine to make it a less stressful experience and hopefully and fun experience for your pup.
“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: If your pet has less than eight legs, I’m here to help! I have personal ownership experience of rabbits, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I am an artist which affords me a uniquely flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your needs! I’ve worked with animals of all ages and sizes! For everything I don’t know, I refer to my sister who is a certified vet tech! I’m a full-time artist meaning my schedule has near-complete flexibility. I am easily bookable day-of most days, and am available for overnight care. The portability of my work allows me complete flexibility to meet the needs of you and your pet(s). Your pets are your most cherished family members, and I never lose sight of that. Maintaining the utmost respect for your pets and your property is always my top priority.
“Catilyn was awesome! She took care of our 2 senior dogs, gave them meds, and managed things perfectly. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible. We have already rebooked her and are excited for her to come back.”
“Becca was lovely! She is so sweet, friendly and I’m glad I booked her to stay with Molly! She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and made sure to ask all the right questions. She sent photos and videos while staying with molly, communicated about how she was doing and made an extra effort to try and get her to eat her supper (not an easy task).”
“Allison was punctual, responsive, accommodating and most importantly, she took the best care of my two pups while I was away. Allison sent photos each day and kept me updated as needed. I hope Allison is available the next time I have to leave my pups while I'm away.”

She is incredible with my dogs and cats, including our dog Murphy who is extremely nervous and afraid of new people; they all love spending time with Liz.

William & Cloe B.
“In my opinion, there are dog sitters—and then there are dog whisperers. When it came to our beloved Shih Tzu, Tanya, I wanted someone with that special instinctive connection. William is exactly that. He didn’t just walk, feed, and play with Tanya—he tuned into her. She trusted him completely, and it was clear she felt safe, stimulated, and truly cared for in his presence. Will has a rare ability to blend play with gentle training, and every time he arrived, Tanya was thrilled to see him. Animals can sense when someone genuinely loves being with them, and Will absolutely does. He’s a great communicator, completely reliable, and someone we felt 100% comfortable leaving Tanya with. I highly recommend him to anyone lucky enough to find him.”

Old Mystic pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter! She cared for our three dogs and two kitty boys with so much kindness and attention. She kept us updated regularly about their well-being, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals, and our crew was happy, relaxed, and well-loved when we returned home. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would absolutely trust her with our pets anytime!
