“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”


“While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Raquel took great care of our boys while we were away and was very responsive and prompt. We will definitely request her again for future trips and would recommend her services to others!”


“Heather was great with our pups!!! She was awesome with sending updates and pictures which kept my mind at ease while on vacation. We would definitely recommend her and will be using Heather again in the future.”


“Leah did a fantastic job taking care of my Bailey. Super responsive, accommodating and reliable. She sent me multiple pictures of my furbaby and followed requests with his feeding (as he is a super finicky eater). Leah took care of Bailey as if he was her own and I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you!”


“Wonderful job taking care of our bunny. Daily drop ins were a success. She went above and beyond when our bunny ran out of pellets and ran to Petco for a refill. She even brought in our mail daily. She provided updates and pictures daily! I would totally trust Jenn in the future! She makes it easy to vacation knowing our bunny is in good hands.”


About: “I have spent most of my life caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. Having a family pet is a true joy and blessing, and I understand how important they are to you. Life can get busy, but you can rest assured that I will care for your furry (or feathered!) friend as if they were my own.” I’m currently working part time so my schedule is flexible to help with your furry friends. My schedule is open M-F 8am-3pm and 4pm-7pm. Also available for overnights on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and a 2 year old rescue mixed breed Shepherd . If they get along great. If not I can crate my dog when your pet is in the house.


About: Love love love animals. Over 20 years with pets of my own and pets of friends and family. Pet care is more than just a hobby, it's a passion for me. As a cat dad and pup uncle, pet care isn't a chore to me - it's part of my everyday routine that I look forward to. My work schedule is flexible, so I always find additional time to look after fur babies. Whether your fur baby is a dog or a cat, they'll be safe with me. Every pet has their own personality. Part of the fun is learning about them and what makes them feel at ease.

“Alyssa has been great!! We have her drop in to play with our puppy during the day and She is very reliable and communicative and has taken great care of our puppy. Always on time and responsive. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. Highly recommended”

I am a college student at the University of New Haven, so i am available any time i’m not in class. Most of the time on Monday and Wednesday i’m available. Tuesdays get a little busy for me, but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday i’m available all day! When i care for a dog i like to take it on lots of walks and i love to play with them. Whether it’s throwing a ball around or playing tug of war I like having fun with them, and i always give a treat when we are done!

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!

About: Hi, I’m Gustavo/Gus and I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years! I’m passionate about all animals, and I truly believe that pets are some of the best souls on this planet. Whether it’s dogs or cats, big or small, I’m comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes. I’ve watched Birds, hamsters, birds and turtles as well. Love tailoring my care to match your pet’s unique personality. If your dog loves to run and play fetch, I’ll be right there with them. If they’re more of a couch potato, I’m just as happy to snuggle up and relax. Cats? I’ve got a soft spot for them as well. I’m great at keeping them happy, whether it’s with playtime or peaceful companionship. Pets are part of the family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and understanding they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the attention and care they need while you’re away. As a freelancer in production and event gigs, my schedule is flexible, especially during the winter months when I have plenty of days off. This gives me extra time to care for pets, and I love filling those gaps with pet sitting! In the summer, when friends take vacations, I often step in to pet and apartment sit for them in the city or Brooklyn. This means I can offer your pet consistent care, whether it’s a quick check-in or longer stays. I’m used to managing a dynamic schedule and can adjust easily to fit your pet’s needs, ensuring they get all the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I ensure your pet’s space remains familiar and stress-free. I’ll follow your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I respect your home, maintaining a clean and organized environment while keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. Trust is essential, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I'm a grounded, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys the company of dogs. While I may not have a backyard, I more than make up for it with frequent walks, park visits, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I believe in creating a calm and loving environment where dogs of all ages and energy levels can feel safe and relaxed. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping my own rescue dog grow from a timid pup, afraid of her own shadow, into a confident walker who loves the outdoors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. Skills I bring to every dog I care for. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their furry companions, knowing I treat them like my own. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to make sure they feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's going for relaxing walks, offering plenty of pets and affection, or just being a calming presence nearby, I love having a furry companion as part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll be part of my daily life. I live in a cozy, pet friendly apartment with my sweet and well behaved female dog. I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means timely meals, regular walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to their comfort, keep a tidy space, and ensure they feel at home while in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 25 years. I have personally owned pets and I know what it takes to care for them. I am currently retired. I have free time on my schedule to care for your pet(s). I am also flexible with my schedule, if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard, with a nice grass area. My house is big enough for your pet to have space to roam around and play.

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I am happy to book for recurring walks up to 4x/week I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10—everything from high-energy puppies to mellow seniors. With 8+ years of experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medications. What sets me apart is my ability to read each dog’s personality and adjust care to match. Whether they need extra playtime or a calm space to nap, I provide care tailored to their needs—with a lot of love, patience, and treats along the way! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and energy to devote to your pups! I’m available for boarding any day of the week at any time. I make it a priority to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and snuggles so your dog feels happy and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and one gentle, friendly dog who loves meeting new companions. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and follow any feeding, walking, or medication routines you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure, stimulated, and cared for like family.

About: Unlike your run-of-the-mill pet sitters, I do less sitting and more jogging, playing, fetching, obstacle course running and jumping type of activities. Additionally, I've got a backyard that's practically a dog's paradise—a sprawling ranch-style haven where pups can frolic, play fetch, and bask in the glory of nature. No concrete jungle for my furry friends; just endless green grass, shady trees, and all the tail-wagging space they could dream of! Got a high-energy pup? I specialize in exhilarating workouts that combine jogging, jumping, obstacle courses, and more. Your furry friend will be thrilled and tuckered out, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Let's make their day unforgettable! With almost two decades of experience, I’ve seen and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes. From tiny kittens to giant breeds, I’ve got the know-how to ensure they feel right at home and receive the love and attention they deserve. And while you’re away, I’ll make sure to send you updates and photos along with videos of your furry friends 3-4 times a day, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. Plus, if your pet needs some extra training, count me in—I love helping them learn new tricks and behaviors. Not only do I provide top-notch pet sitting services, but I also offer convenient pick-up, transportation, and drop-off within a 50-mile radius, making the process stress-free for you and your pets. And if you have any questions or concerns, I’m always just a phone call or virtual Zoom meeting away. With me, your pets are not just taken care of—they’re cherished like family. Working mostly from home gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to your pets. Last minute reservations and requests are welcome. The day kicks off with a brisk walk or a jog around the neighborhood, followed by a customized breakfast (we aim to please!). Then it's time for your furry friend to soak up some rays on our fenced, open-air patio or catch some Z's in a cozy spot. Afternoon? It's all about backyard shenanigans—think ball-chasing, stick-fetching, and maybe even a friendly squirrel hunt. And as the sun sets, we cap things off with a leisurely evening stroll through the neighborhood. Weekends? Oh, they're reserved for epic hikes on scenic trails—because adventure awaits! With us, your beloved companion is guaranteed a tail-wagging good time, no dull moments allowed! Nestled in a cozy house with a sprawling and spacious backyard where your furry pals can stretch their legs, play, and enjoy the great outdoors of fresh air to their heart's content.

Celeste G.
“Celeste watched my brother’s dog (Benji) who is terrified of even stop signs. It was incredible to witness first hand the way she helped him feel safe and confident. Whether is was sitting with him during quiet moments , going for walks, or giving him time to adjust at his own pace, she made sure he felt supported. Riley is just as laid back and respectful, which made the whole experience better.

“Andrew gave my dog the vacation of her life. Two great weeks...the most exercise (and likely fun) of her life. Daily photos/videos kept me in the loop and the dog was legit sad for 2-3 days when she returned home.”
