“She really took time to get to know my dogs and came back multiple times to try to familiarize herself to them prior to our trip . Her passion and love for dogs is palpable. She gave great updates with pictures and also concerns if they occurred . My dogs loved staying with her!”
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.
“Dustin did a great job watching our pets and our home under less than perfect conditions. We were very concerned when a snow storm knocked out power while we were away, but Dustin didn’t panic and took care of everything until the power finally was restored. When we returned the house and pets were all in fine shape. We thank dustin, and we will certainly use his services again if needed.”
“Emily is amazing !! She was able to dog sit for us on Easter while we attended a wedding!! She communicated with us through out the day, sent pictures of Panda! We felt so at ease knowing Panda was in great hands!! We will definitely continue to use Emily!”
About: I’m a 21 year old veterinary science student, with two pits that I absolutely adore!! I got Disney at the start of Covid and had to resocialize him all over again afterwards. Then we decided he needed friend. I’ve had experience with fleas, ticks, emergency vet visits- You name it! I love any and all animals, though I understand that each pet is different and has their own set of needs. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your baby safe and healthy, I’ll treat them as my own!! ☺️ I work a part time job so I have more than enough free time to care for and play with your pet!! When I am not caring for your pet I’m probably caring for my own! Food, walks, coconut oil rubdown, tucked under the blanket you name it! I recognize that everyone’s schedule varies! I am great at following set routines. So if that means your dog needs to be walked fed and play with within 30 minutes I guarantee you within that 30 minutes will be well done. I will always leave your home and pet cleaner than I found them .
“Archie was an amazing cat sitter for my two babies!! This is my first time using a pet sitter for my cats. I have a senior girl who was just recently diagnosed with IBD and requires a special diet and daily meds, and a rambunctious kitten who will do his darndest to be the cutest troublemaker you’ve ever met. Archie was amazing to work with, has extensive experience working with cats, and made me and my partner feel at ease! If you are looking for someone to watch over your feline friends, Archie is the best! I will definitely use them for future bookings.”
About: Hi, I'm Kait! Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs in our house at all times. I have experience in everything from medication administering, daily dog walks and overnight stays while owners are out of town, to feeding goats and collecting peacock eggs. I can guarantee that I will love and care for your furry friend(s) as if they were my own! I currently work part-time Monday-Friday. I'm available every day M-F from 12pm-1pm and after 5pm. I'm available Saturday/Sunday any time! My work schedule sometimes varies week to week, so please ask me about my schedule before booking! I am also available Memorial Day weekend :) I currently live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow dogs. I will be moving to a house this summer, but for the time being, I can only care for pets at your own home. I have experience with both staying overnight with pets and making visits throughout the day, so I can provide pet care any way you prefer! I know how difficult it can be to leave pets, so I try my best to ensure your pets will be as comfortable as they can be. (& please know that NO request is too much or weird for me- I have read dogs books before bed and tucked them in, per owners' request!)
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal health and professional husbandry. Through my experience shadowing veterinarians, I’ve developed a trained eye for animal behavior and wellness. I know how to recognize the subtle signs of when a pet is feeling "off" or needs extra attention. I also have professional husbandry experience working with mice in a laboratory setting. This background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, strictly adhere to feeding and medication schedules, maintain rigorous hygiene protocols, and have a gentle touch with delicate or timid animals. I currently work remote for Yale as a PhD student, which allows me a great deal of flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs. On weekdays, I am fully available except maybe a few hours throughout the week for walks, playtime, and feedings. My weekends are completely open for overnight boarding, ensuring your pup is never left alone for long periods and receives constant companionship and care. My home is a 'pet-first' environment where safety and mental stimulation go hand-in-hand. For my two cats, I maintain a strict vertical-space setup and regular 'puzzle feeding' to keep them engaged. I am highly experienced in managing slow introductions and reading subtle body language to ensure all animals feel secure. I maintain a chemical-free cleaning routine to protect sensitive paws and noses, and I’m diligent about 'double-door' safety to prevent escapes. Whether it's ensuring fresh water fountains are clean or providing a quiet, crate-ready retreat, I treat every guest with the same meticulous care I give my own cats.
About: I love caring for pets! Pet sitting and dog walking is my dream job and I’m happy to help with whatever your needs are. I am certified in cat and dog first aid/CPR. I’m available weeknights and weekends for drop in visits, dog walks, adventure hikes, and overnights. I still work Monday - Friday 8:30-4:30 so unfortunately I’m unable to provide services during that time. I provide pet care in your home. My goal is for pets to be as comfortable as possible in their own environment and keeping their familiar routine.
About: Life time owner of cats and dogs throughout his life. Has been watching friend and family pets for several years. Experienced with cats and small to medium sized dogs. I currently work full-time in office Mon-Fri, but am available weekends and weeknights (including overnight). I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I will meet with potential clients face to face prior to accepting any request. Firstly, to go over any specific needs or questions of your pet and second, to get to know you as an owner.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and have always had a strong bond with animals. From childhood into high school, college, and beyond, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets. I now have one dog and two cats of my own, and they are truly my family. My fur babies are spoiled, loved, and cared for and yours would be treated just the same under my care! My pets wake me up at 5:00am for breakfast! All three of my pets eat breakfast and dinner. I believe that animals do best when their routine is followed as closely as possibly. I am flexible with timing and days of the week to care for your pet. All three of my pets have individual needs. One of my cats is very timid and spends her time in my master suite for most of the day. She enjoys her solitude! My other cat has full roam of the house, and he is happiest basking in the sun or scratching on his scratching post. My dog goes to daycare on days that I work so she has entertainment and stimulation, although she is content at home from time to time. On days that I’m home, we go for frequent walks and spend time in our fenced in backyard. As a pet mom, I think it’s most important that I understand and meet the needs of each of my pets and give them what they require to live happily in our home.
Quinnipiac pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dustin stayed with my dog for a week at my house and he was great! My dog (pit mix) is extremely nervous and has separation anxiety but Dustin was very compassionate and took good care of my pet. This was the first time traveling that I didn’t worry that my dog was stressed out. I would highly recommend Dustin. He communicates well and was willing to walk the dog at any hour. Lots of pictures too!
Sai, I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am that you stayed with my babies. Your communication and professionalism are amazing. Thank you for making sure everything was left clean and that my babies were happy. I truly recommend you, and I would love to have you watch them again :)
Veronica is amazing no other words can describe her. She house sat and took care of our little Luna. She was patient, caring and loving toward her and they became best friends really fast. She went on daily walks with Luna fed her exactly as instructed, played with her and really she was just exceptional. Before we returned and at the time that she was supposed to take off, there was an 1.5 hour interval, first of all she was happy to stay but we asked that she should not because it was very late at night and we wanted to make sure she gets home safe but when she was leaving our Luna she was so sad to see her leave that she was howling! At that point I had found a competition as I have been the only person Luna has howled for so that says a lot about how much Luna loved her. She respected our home and when we got back everything was as we left it. I would say she is exceptional and look no further if you need your dog happy and safe.
My dogs and cats loved Missy! She was very communicative with me, and well-organized with the times of meals and bathroom breaks. She also appreciated each of my dog’s particular quirks! My dogs were totally unstressed and happy when I returned home from my trip.
Leah is a wonderful dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our lab retriever who requires long walks and lots of attention. He was very happy when we came home. She also was very respectful of our home. Overall very communicative and responsible. Can’t wait to work with her again. Highly recommend!!!! Thanks for everything Leah.
We are so lucky to have found Bailey to help watch our 2 dogs, one of which is a skittish trauma pup. After only meeting her 2 times he warmed up which is an absolute record, I was so surprised but so happy! Bailey is respectful, knowledgeable and trustworthy. On our first meeting she asked very thoughtful questions and clearly shared some of her boundaries. This type of communication is so important to us, not only helping my husband and I feel comfortable but demonstrating several mature characteristics about Bailey, showing she takes this seriously. We trust her and my dogs trust her - which is the most important part. We are genuinely so grateful to have her in our lives! Highly recommended!
Aleeki took wonderful care of my two dogs, Hazel and Atlas. From the beginning she was very professional and easy to communicate with. She offered to do a meet and greet before the booking, which made me feel much more comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. While I was away she sent a lot of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Hazel and Atlas were well taken care of and comfortable with her. She was very responsive whenever I reached out and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Aleeki to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter, and I would happily book with her again in the future.
Kinsey was an absolute pleasure to have as our sitter. She was incredibly kind, loving, and attentive with my puppy, Theo. You could truly tell how much she cares — Theo didn’t even want her to leave! 😄 She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and made the whole experience stress-free and comforting. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
Karina and Teresa, both came to hang with our pups during Christmas while we took a day trip to visit family. Not only did they come in clutch with accepting the kinda-last-minute holiday need, but they were PERFECT for our dogs. They were super communicative and kind and from the minute they met our dogs, till the moment we got home, our dogs loved them and we knew they were in good hands. I’d say book them immediately, but we also selfishly want them all to ourselves! You can’t go wrong with trusting Karina and Teresa with your babies ❤️
