“Sarah was an absolute godsend! We booked her last minute after our regular pet-sitter had to cancel, and she went above and beyond! The mission: medicate our orange cat twice daily. The challenge: she has one brain cell, and it is devoted entirely to avoiding people she doesn't know. Sarah met the challenge admirably, leaving incredibly informative and entertaining notes and detailing the trials and tribulations of medicating a 12 pound anxiety-machine who wants nothing less than to take her medicine. Despite the sure difficulty, Sarah managed to get her medicated twice a day every day. Finding someone reliable and trustworthy to medicate Toni has always been a struggle in the past, but I'm so glad we connected with Sarah, because it one thing we won't have to worry about in the future!”

“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”


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).
“Sandy was super accommodating, responsive and very sweet. I could tell she really listened to my detailed instructions for both my dogs haha would definitely book again!”

About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.
“Kelli was excellent as always. She is a great communicator and its very reliable. She adapts well to problems when they come up and we are eternally grateful to have her.”

“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”

“Katelyn took great care of my cat and bunny while we were away. They are both quite needy with attention and I could tell they were both very happy for her visits. Definitely recommend!”

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.
About: I absolutely love all types of dogs and cats! Ever since I was 10 years old I have not lived without a dog in my house. I am flexible with your pets needs from walking to running and biking or taking them to the dog park. I have experience with administering medicine orally or injections. I have a dog of my own (who currently lives out of state at the moment with my boyfriend) so I know the responsibilities of what it takes to be a great dog owner, he is large and high energy so I am not intimidated by dogs with tough personalities. I am very reliable and will respond usually very quickly to texts or calls thank you in advance for considering me to walk/watch your pet! I am currently working Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm so I am mostly available on weekends Friday-Sunday. I have an hour for lunch so I can also check on a pet then but it is not guaranteed. I treat your pets as though they are my own! I know how hard it can be to leave them so I make sure they feel like they are on vacation too by giving them walks, cuddles and permitted treats.
“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!”

“Olivia was fantastic! Don't hesitate to use her to watch any of your furry friends! She was quick to respond to any requests, very responsive and sent me pics of my dog each time she came. Highly recommend!!”

About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

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.
“Emily was amazing and super reliable. She was so sweet and brought a fun ribbon toy for them to play with. My cats loved her. Will most certainly be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. From dogs and cats to birdies and bunnies, I love them all! I have been blessed to share life with my yorkie-poo for the past 14 years. I’ve had to learn how to give him daily oral medications, eye drops and ear drops to keep him healthy and lively! I’d give the same love, care and attention to your fur babies as well! I am currently working a flexible job so I’ll be able to care for your fur babies whenever you need me to! As long as it is not between the hours of 10am-1pm :) I currently live in a house with a brick-fenced in yard with 1 social senior pup (who doesn’t mind to be crated if need be) however I would love to care for your pet wherever they feel comfortable!
“Aniya was wonderful with her care of Missy. We had to make quite a few changes to the schedule due to an unexpected family issue and she was extremely flexible. Aniya was on time for all her visits, sent me pictures and did lots of cuddles with Missy. Would definitely use again.”

About: I have about 10 years of experiences taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals. I have experience bonding/introducing new pets in the home, having taken a boot camp a few years ago and doing it multiple times with rabbits, cats (one success, one not), and a dog/cat combo. I've also leash trained my own dog, parents dog and a friends dog. I can also work on basic commands. Im comfortable brushing teeth, bathing and administering non-needle medicines. The prices on the flyer are for payments off Rover (venmo/zelle/cash app), as Rover takes 20% the prices on here are higher, whichever you're most comfortable with is fine with me! Pet care is currently my only job. Even when I have a part-time job, my schedule is very flexible and open to various appointments each day. I do not let animals off leash when outside unless in a fenced in yard/park. At my own home, I live next to a park and take walks at least 3x a day with your pup.
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!
Quinnipiac pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lamisa was an excellent cat sitter. She was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and genuinely good with cats. She was consistently on time during each visit. I truly appreciated the reliability and care they provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter.

Melissa was wonderful with our cats! I've always been hesitant to leave them with someone who hasn't previously experienced them, due to their special food needs and daily meds, but Melissa made them seem like no big deal. We arrived home to two well-cared for cats :) I would absolutely book Melissa again and recommend her to others!

Sarah has been taking care of my kitties whenever I’m out of town for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is kind, thoughtful, and attentive, and her notes are always detailed and reassuring. I feel completely at ease knowing my cats are being so well cared for while I’m away. I recommend her 100%!

Sara is very attentive and conscientious which makes her trustworthy. She was flexible in scheduling to meet everybody's needs. She took really good care of my cat. I could tell, because when my cat has had a good sitter, she is glad to see me when I get home but not frantic for my attention. Finally, Sara got my cat to play in a way I haven't been able to do (and still can't!) which goes to show that she is a true cat person. (I'm sure she takes good care of dogs, too.) I recommend Sara without hesitation.

Leah was an excellent cat sitter. She initiated a meet and greet before the booking, which was nice. After that, Leah was very responsive through the app and followed all the instructions. Would definitely book her again, especially since my cat seemed very happy for her visits.

Jasie took great care of our cat. From the pictures, we could tell that our cat enjoyed her company and warmed up to her quickly. She was super communicative and took awesome pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.

Azeen was amazing with my cat!! She took such great care of her, and I can tell my cat really liked her. My cat is very affectionate and kind of annoying about it (i.e. always begging for attention), but Azeen was wonderful with her and gave her plenty of attention. She sent a lot of great pictures of them hanging out, playing, and her brushing my cat (which she loves). She even spent time trying to debug my litter robot when it decided to act up, and set up a backup litterbox when that became necessary. She did the dishes even though I told her it was okay not to, and she generally kept my home very tidy. Most importantly, I had piece of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cat!! Also had very easy and timely communication. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.
