Sharon will definitely be my Rover choice when I’m in Waterford/Old Lyme CT area. My grumpy old man loves her. Sharon takes the stress off of us worrying about our baby because he’s in great hands with her. Highly recommend her. Day 2!!!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently have an 8-year-old French Bulldog of my own. I helped train her from a young age and attended dog training classes with her, which gave me experience with obedience, patience, and understanding different dog behaviors. In addition to caring for my own dog, I also have experience helping friends and family with their dogs through walks, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and will always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I just graduated from college and am working part-time over the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available during the week and weekends in the morning and early afternoon. I live in a safe, walkable beachside neighborhood with plenty of open space for dogs to enjoy walks, playtime, and fresh air. The area is very dog-friendly, and I’m surrounded by other pet owners, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets.

Sarah has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly reliable, very communicative, and just an all-around friendly, positive person. My dog loved her instantly and now gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She takes her on long walks and always sends great photo updates, so I feel completely at ease knowing how well she’s doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!

Roger ROCKS! He took great care of our doggies while we were away, and truly cared to make sure they were comfortable and happy. We arranged for daily house-sitting while we were away, and couldn’t have been happier; Roger even swept up the house and deck, cleaned up the dog crates, and even did a bit of weeding — all of his own volition! It was great knowing the dogs were in good hands, and a big treat to come back to an even cleaner house. We’ll definitely be checking in with Roger next time we’ll be going away!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Serenity was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure they were not only well fed and safe, but also loved and comforted while I was away. She provided regular updates, photos, and was incredibly responsive and kind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

About: I’ve shared my life with both cats and dogs since I was a youth. I am equally comfortable with tiny lap dogs and large, powerful breeds. I understand the different energy levels and handling requirements each size needs. Whether your pet is a playful pup or a senior cat who prefers a quiet companion, I adapt my care to fit their unique personality. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to make pet care a top priority throughout the week. I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, ensuring your pets receive consistent attention and exercise. My routine is built around being present and active, so you can rest assured your animals are getting the dedicated care they deserve. Safety is my absolute priority. During visits and walks, I maintain a vigilant eye on your pet’s surroundings and behavior. I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked upon entry and exit, and I always double-check that water bowls are full and the environment is hazard-free before I leave. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can see firsthand that your pet is safe, active, and happy. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own two dogs.

About: As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home. I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day. Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.

About: Hi, I enjoy all ages of dogs and cats. I have had many, many dogs and cats growing up raising them from newborn puppies or kittens all the way into their senior years. I am well experienced in training puppies, playing with active cats/dogs and caring for sick or aged pets as well. I have also volunteered for many rescue organizations, most recently Meriden Humane Society. The joy animals bring me, far surpasses any other career I've had throughout the years. I currently am transitioning into part-time retirement of running my own HVAC company and I would like to start doing what I enjoy more; caring for animals(and plants!). I currently have a very active, under one, golden retriever and a 6 year old golden retriever. We love to go outside and throw the ball, play in the wading pool, or let the dogs play together in the backyard.

What a wonderful cat sitter. Alexandra is an excellent pet sitter. We have a timid cat, yet she was able to sit on our couch and pett her. She was responsible for giving our cat pills for asthma and never missed the correct days. Our cat Mocha loved Alexandra taking care of her!! Can't say enough!!

About: I have grown up caring for a Golden Retriever my entire life, giving me deep, hands-on experience with dogs’ needs, routines, and behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, patience, and affection to keep dogs happy and healthy. I work from home, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I typically step out for about one hour to go to the gym, but otherwise I’m home to ensure your dog stays safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide attentive, in-home care by maintaining your dog’s normal routine, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, companionship, and affection. I live with people my age, which means your dog will stay engaged, active, and stimulated through frequent walks, playtime, and social interaction. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy.

This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little apprehensive. But after meeting Adriana, I was confident that I was making a smart choice in choosing her to care for Donut. He took to her immediately, as did I. I loved knowing that he was in good, kind and very capable hands. She provided the most adorable pics of his daily “glamour shots”, where he’d ham it up for the camera. It gives me great joy and so much relief knowing I can call on her to take such good care of my boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing top notch pet sitting / pet-care.
