“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”
“Karen took our Poodle puppy on a last minute request and we’re so happy she did! She stayed in contact throughout, sent tons of photos and videos and was very flexible with pickup and drop off time. She even gave us a little parting gift! Would definitely recommend Karen if you are in the New London/Mystic area!”
“Elisa is a wonderful host for animals and went above and beyond watching my Shih Tzu Lulubelle. We were wedding bound and wasn’t familiar with anyone in the area and Elisa made it easy and a pleasure. She is very friendly , kind and has the perfect home to make an animal feel comfortable! She even send me updates and pictures of Lulubelle daily which was so considerate! Elisa even sent a card with Lulubelle’s picture on it! It’s a five star stay and I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I am in the area!💕”
“Erica and Tom were great, from the moment we dropped off our dog to picking him up. Charlie felt right at home as he was treated like on of their own. They even accommodated bringing Charlie all the way to our wedding just so we could get photographs with him after the ceremony. Great communication and would definitely use again.”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Katelin. She watched our Australian Shepherd when an unexpected trip arose. I can be a little Type A with directions and she was very gracious and amenable. Add to that great communication and pictures. Working with Katelin was both a professional and enjoyable experience!!”
“Bentley and I just moved to Rhode Island, and it’s been a hard transition for him. I’ve been especially anxious about leaving him during this adjustment period, but Yunshu immediately made me feel at ease. From the start, I knew he was in good hands. She sent so many thoughtful pictures and videos, and in every single one he looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. That meant everything to me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make dogs feel safe and loved. She was wonderful with Bentley, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Dawn is absolutely amazing. We are very protective of our dogs and rarely trust kennels or sitters, and we were very nervous to leave them somewhere for a week vacation, but Dawn provided a warm second home for them. She sent us daily updates and pictures, gave our pups all kinds of love and attention, and provided plenty of exercise for them. Our dogs were actually sad to leave! Thank you so much Dawn!!”
“Sydney took such great care of our dog. She was understanding of the dog’s needs and ours to make our vacation easy. She made sure there was harmony for everyone in her home, pampered our dog more than we do at home, sent us pup updates (“pupdates”, lol) so we could see her experience. Would recommend Sydney’s pup sitting. We will again.”
“Erica is a dog whisperer. She can calm even the most anxious dogs. Her whole family loves to have these guests in the house and keeps them busy. I am do happy she moved back to RI so I have a safe place for me leave my fur baby.”
About: I love animals! This past January-March, I volunteered at a small family farm in France! I took care of 1 horse, 1 shetland, 2 chickens, 5 goats, 1 sheep, 2 cats and 3 dogs. I have had dogs all of my life of various sizes and personalities (I’ve had a brittany spaniel, doberman, and now have two rescues; a pit bull/boxer and a boston terrier). I grew up working on a farm so I have been with animals all of my life! I am the biggest animal lover, especially dogs! I have walked and house sit other dogs before and am very comfortable with any type of dog! I will be their new best friend :) I work some days out of the week but can adjust my schedule as needed. I am usually very free in the afternoons every day. As I live at home with my two dogs, I will not be able to care for pets in my home. However, I find that pets do best in their own environments so I can do just that!
“We are so happy with our experience with Julia (and Glenn, of course!). She took amazing care of Rosie and kept us updated with regular communication the entire time. Rosie absolutely loved spending time in her fenced backyard, chasing balls and playing with Glenn, who is an excellent sharer. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“Mary Jo was very quick to respond to my messages and my dogs really loved her. They were very happy when we picked them up and not stressed out at all. Will def use again :)”
“Doji had a wonderful time! Lynne was very attentive and sent us texts & pics to keep us informed. In the hot weather, her ‘pool time’ is such a plus - so are Lynne’s dogs! Doji had such good companions! I know he will be happy to visit again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawcatuck
Very nice option to have our dogs stay with Dana and Mathieu. This was the first time our dogs stayed overnight somewhere aside from home or with us. They were very kind, sent updates daily, and my dogs came home from their weekend visit relaxed. We recommend using Dana and Matheiu for your dog care needs!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pawcatuck home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pawcatuck.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Pawcatuck sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
