“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She walked both of our dogs twice a day, kept our home clean and tidy, and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. Highly recommend her!”


“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”


“Kathryn did an outstanding job watching our pup and two kitties while we were away for 4 days. She was all ways in communication with us and sent many pictures. She genuinely loves all animals an strives to befriend even the toughest ones (aka our scaredy cat and her became besties). Thankful to have had her to take care of our fur babies and will definitely book again for our next vacay.”


“Sadie was wonderful! She is very kind and professional. The house was exactly as we left it and our fur babies were well loved and cared for, we were nervous about using Rover as we never had before but so glad we did. We would trust Sadie watching our home and fur babies anytime!”


“I was delighted seeing my pet was the same happy content dog I left! Such a relief! This isn't always the case and is often my only indication of how things went. I was comfortable with London staying in our space which seems to suit my dog the most, and she did a great job coordinating care with the other sitter as needed as we were gone a while, we split the care. I would definitely call London again. Thanks! London!”


“Jade is absolutely amazing! We had no worries while on vacation and she was always in touch to let us know how the day was going. Will definitely reach out again when we need a house sitter for our girls!”


About: When I was younger, I would walk home from school and take care of many dogs all around my neighborhood. Whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, letting them out to play, or simply just spending some quality time with them, it was always the highlight of my day! I am always eager to meet a new furry friend! I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford, and am looking to move to New York City in the fall to pursue an acting career. I’m taking some time off at home right now and would love to take care of your furry friend! I can accommodate to any special need you require for your pet. As a dog owner, I understand the personalized care each home provides for their dog or cat. It is vital to me that your pet is as comfortable with me as they are with their owner!

About: I have taken care of friend’s pets when they were not present or in the room. When taking out their animals, I’ve prioritized their safety and how they are feeling above all else especially when outside. I am working part time at Lake Compounce, however I am always open to spend my spare time taking care of your animals to make sure they are fed and cared for. I can easily put your animal at rest by giving pats or providing a safe environment for then to relax. I could also play with toys if your animals wants to. I will also be attentive to when a bathroom break is needed and when food should be given to provide a safe environment.

“Brittany was a great sitter for our puppy, Kya, while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was positive, caring and great at communicating updates throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend Brittany - we’ve already booked her in for the next time we’ll be away. Brittany, thanks for being so caring and thoughtful with Kya!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and for over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. At home, I currently care for two large dogs and a couple of cats—though at one point, we had up to five rescue animals under one roof! One of our dogs came to us with both medical and behavioral challenges, so I’m very comfortable providing specialized care, including giving medications (oral and injectable) and working with pets who have specific training needs or require a bit more patience and understanding. As a full-time artist, I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can provide your pet with the attention, routine, and care they deserve—whether that’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I am prepared to follow whatever directions you require for your pet in home. You and your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member!

About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.

“Good communication before and after booking, responsive! Received a photo check in while we were gone, which is always reassuring. Gaby seems really nice and trustworthy and I would definitely use her again!”


“Would recommend Lacy to anyone looking for a dog sitter! She was great house sitting with our dog Ralph and took him for two walks throughout the day. Incredibly responsive, responsible and attentive. She even send us updates and pictures throughout the day. She will be on our speed dial whenever we need someone to watch our precious pup.”


About: I have had many pets of my own and love taking care of and having fun with new pets! I will be able to complete any requests you have. I have experience from past jobs in pet sitting, pet walking, daycare, and boarding. I am also a veterinary technician! I do have another animal job so I will be doing Rover part time. For house sitting I can only be there overnight. I will always be available a few times during the week. I will always have my full attention on your pet. I will make sure to do everything you ask of me and will always keep your pet happy and safe!

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs and my family’s dog for the past 9 years. My family has relied on me to walk and feed them and I have been very reliable and consistent in doing this. I work part time 6-2:30 Mon-Thurs, so I will have any time after that to walk or dog sit the rest of the time, so this fits perfectly into my schedule. I allow my dog to hang out outside when it’s nice, while having an electric fence that she is trained not to go out of with her collar on.

Michael D.
“I have two dogs…large dogs who can be quite a handful sometimes. I had to leave home for two days last minute for work and was in desperate need for someone to watch over my pups while I was gone. Like I said before these two can be quite a handful and have a lot of energy so I was a little worried at first but Michael assured me he was no stranger to large dogs and said he had Huskies his whole life. Needless to say things couldn’t have went smoother, the dogs loved Michael and he was great with them stuck to their feeding schedules and gave them ample exercise. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with him 10/10 would recommend Michael!”

She worked hard and has recently graduated from college and secured a ER position as a certified vet technician at a well known animal hospital.
