“Emily is an excellent and professional dog walker. We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”

About: While I'm newer to formal pet sitting, I've cared for dogs and cats for family friends and neighbors so your pet won't be my first! I'm a natural with animals, patient, and attentive to each pet's personality. I love dog walking (it's my favorite way to get cardio in!), so your dog will always get an enthusiastic, energetic walker. Based in the New Haven area for the summer and completely available, your pet will get my full, undivided attention! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life! My work schedule is completely flexibility-based: I work at a restaurant where I set my own availability, and my research work is fully remote with no fixed hours. That means I can genuinely shape my day around your pet's needs rather than squeezing them in between commitments. Whether it's a midday walk, morning feeding, or overnight stay, I can make it work. Your pet's routine always comes first! When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm a naturally neat and organized person, so you'll never come home to a mess! I follow care instructions to the letter because I'm very detail-oriented and deliberate, so nothing gets missed or forgotten. I also know how much pet parents worry when they're away, so I stay highly responsive to messages and love sending update photos so you always know your pet is happy and thriving. Communication and trust are everything to me!
“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”
“Andrea took Harry for good long walks and really engaged with him. She shared photos and videos and was really great to communicate with. Highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was available for my last minute booking and when she arrived Dino was stoked to see her. He had a great walk and can’t wait to see Melissa again! Thank you.”
“Emily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
About: I've had cats in my life ever since I was 10 years old. Bear and Chip are two of the more important things in my life who I grew up with and took care of all the way until I moved out of my parents house a few years ago. I learned to take care of pets at a really young age because of them, and now, I rescued two cats on my own with my fiancé whom we love and adore (Benji and Clementine). I'd love to be able to extend that care onto your pets as I am super passionate about making sure pets are loved and supported properly. I work from home, so am very flexible when it comes to drop in visits or walking your dog throughout the week or on the weekends! In my home I make sure my pets are on really good terms with each other first and foremost. We give them plenty of entertainment and stimulation to make sure they aren't bored and I definitely go out of my way most of my time to make sure they're loved and comfortable in our home. In terms of being in other people's places, I can adapt very easily and know when a cat is comfortable or not. I will never be too overbearing to a pet when I know there isn't full trust there but I will still make sure they're getting the care they need.
About: I absolutely love taking care of animals! I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I enjoy an active lifestyle and am able to meet the exercise needs of any pet. Depending on your dog and their abilities, I can provide tons of outdoor time. I usually do around 45 minutes to 1 hour long walk in the morning, with another long walk or fun outdoor activity in the afternoon (swimming, hiking, fetch in the park, etc). I live in a single-family home with my sister Alexis. I work full-time, but have a hybrid work schedule and have many days/mornings/afternoons where I am able to work from home. I can accommodate different schedules and times for drop-offs and pick-ups with enough notice. My sister works full-time from 7am-3:30pm, so your pup won't spend too much time alone. I do not work on the weekends and therefore am free to take your pup to different spots to play! I have a small yard that is partially fenced, but am also able to take your dog on long walks in the neighborhood. Let me know if your dog can go off-leash, or if they should remain leashed or in fenced-in areas. I do have a long line (30ft) that can be used with your dog so they can explore and run while still being leashed.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog parent, so I know how much your furry friend deserves love, attention, and belly rubs. I treat every pet like my own little fur baby, walks, playtime, cuddles, and even extra treats (with permission of course!) included.

I also send daily photo updates so you can see every wag, zoomie, and happy snuggle. Happy pets = happy owners = happy life. 🐾💜 Even with a full-time job, I make my days off (Sunday through Tuesday) all about pets! | love going on walks, playing games, and giving plenty of cuddles. I pay close attention to their needs and routines, making sure they're happy, safe, and cared for every step of the way. My goal is to give every pet a fun, loving, and stress-free experience while their humans can relax knowing they're in good hands. I love making pets feel happy, safe, and cared for! I'm always paying attention to their wants and needs, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or a snack. I follow their schedule, respect the owner's instructions, and stick to all policies, so nothing is done without permission. Whether in my home or theirs, my goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their humans are away.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.
Quinnipiac dog parents share their Rover experiences
Where do I begin, Lizzy was amazing…I had hip replacement surgery and Lizzy walked my boy Jack for over 2 weeks. Lizzy was easy to work with and made it easy for me to recover from my surgery and not stress on caring for Jack. She would feed him after his morning walk and doled out treats following his afternoon & evening walks. I have already referred several people in my building to Lizzy. I didn’t want to tell her but she she definitely be charging more 🤣 If you need a trustworthy person to care for your Furr babies then Lizzy is your girl.
Aleeki is so kind and reliable! She’s taken care of my dog a few times now and every time she is so communicative. I had some last minute schedule changes last weekend and she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was well cared for. I appreciate her so much!
Sophia is the best dog sitter and walker we have ever come across. She stayed at our place with our 11 year old Puggle, Finn, for 10 days while we were in Italy and we had absolutely no worries. She was so attentive and caring towards him, and always reached out to us with questions, updates and pictures. It’s very obvious that Sophia is a natural with animals and that they sense they can trust her. Recently, we had her watch/feed/walk both Finn and our daughter’s Australian Shepherd, Ava, who can be a handful around strangers and other dogs but Ava took to Sophia immediately. We trust Sophia implicitly and I think you will find that to be true, too. You’ll make the best decision by entrusting your pets in her care!
Nancy was immediately loved by my pit mix Cheebs. He is very selective about his people but warmed up to Nancy so quickly, which made us knew we can trust her. She’s great with our guy, loves on him like he’s her own. She’s stayed in our home and done a few walks and we know we can count on her. Thank you, Nancy!
My dog can be picky with strangers, but she loves Yunwen. Yunwen is super sweet—she took my pup to a big grassy field to play, and brought water so she could drink on the way. I could tell my pup was super happy and relaxed after the walk. Yunwen is reliable, and genuinely cares about dogs. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker！
