“Jennifer took amazing care of our senior dog and overgrown kitten while we were away for the week. Her passion for animals is evident, and she's a neat and thoughtful house guest. Our animals loved her from the moment they met her, and we appreciated the updates and videos she sent while we were away. We highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again.”
“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
“Jess was wonderful! She came very last minute to our home to take our dog out three times on Thanksgiving, and saved our own holiday as we had to leave for an entire day, and would never leave our dog alone for so many hours. Thank you Jess for being so dedicated and flexible!”
“Marcella is a fantastic dog sitter. She is punctual and dependable, and also affectionate and playful with my very active dogs. She also came up with ideas to keep my dogs busy and entertained. She doubled up as a pet and house sitter, and we felt we left everything in very competent hands. We highly recommend her!”
“My two Aussiliers loved hanging out with Brandi during my business trip earlier this week. She has a good connection with dogs, and is easy-going and professional. Communication and coordination with her is easy. My dogs ate and played well, and came back from their walk with Brandi all happy. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

About: I was born in a household where I was surrounded by dogs. I have had 5 rescue dogs throughout my life. I started dog walking when I was ten years old, and have been dog walking/ dog sitting ever since. My family and I just fostered and then rescued a 3 month old puppy named Belle, so I am familiar with training. I’m familiar with all dog ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I am currently a college student, but I am on summer break, so I have a flexible schedule. I am available anytime throughout the day. Based on the service I am offering, I am familiar with crate/leash training. I am comfortable taking the dog/dogs for walks when needed! I can also feed the dogs as well.
“We had an amazing experience having Kayla house sit and watch our 3 miniature dachshunds, which can definitely be a handful at times. She quickly responded to all messages, carefully followed all instructions, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. I really appreciated how she seemed to actually enjoy spending time with our pups. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I would highly recommend Jolene as your pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover. Having a stranger stay at our house and take care of our dogs made us very nervous , but after meeting with her a few times I felt more at ease with her. She asked all the right questions, she was very professional and my dogs took to her immediately. She did exactly what we needed her to do which included giving one of my dogs medication and a brushing because of a skin issue. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and she left our house spotless, without a trace that she was there. She even asked where my vacuum cleaner was to make sure all dog hair was cleaned up before we got home. I am very pleased with our experience with her and would use her again. Thanks Jolene!!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 10 years. Experience ranges from training, entertaining and cuddling dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Guaranteed to treat them like my own :) I am to take the dogs on longs walks and hikes, especially in the winter when it may be more difficult to keep them active. Or even outdoor throwing a ball to prevent boredom! I am always very cautious of double, and triple checking my doors to prevent dogs from escaping. I will treat every dog to the same standard and spoil them the same way!
“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”
About: I love all animals and love to learn their individual personalities and quirks! When we pay attention we can realize just how unique and complex our furry friends really are. Meeting a new pet is as exciting to me as meeting new people. I will be on summer break from nursing school beginning May 16th, I work 2 per diem jobs at the hospital that I mostly self schedule, so I my schedule will be flexible until the end of August :) I love animals and am a caring person as I am training to become a registered nurse. I love all animals and have had a dog ,cats, birds, turtles, and other animals in the past. I am an active person so if your dog loves to play or go outside I will gladly do that or we can relax together too if they have a chill personality :)
“This was our second time having Grace pet sit for us--this time for 10 days in our home. She took excellent care of our dog and cat and kept in constant touch with us at our request. She endured a lot of bad weather and ice while we were away, and went above and beyond to make it safe for our dog to go outside. We highly recommend Grace, your pets will be in good hands!”
About: As long as I can remember, I have been around dogs. My best friends growing up were a pair of black labs named Tillie and Jodi and my little jack russell named Widget. I grew up feeding, walking and caring for these dogs and I'll always consider them family. In my late teens I worked for Millstone Farmstead in Wilton, CT. There I cared for a variety of animals such as llamas, sheep, pigs, and chickens. I am very comfortable caring for and hanging out with animals (even if they are significantly larger than me like those llamas...) I am currently working as a freelance musician and audio engineer. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to making accommodations for clients. I believe in respect and transparency when it comes to being in someone else's home and especially when caring for their animals. I am happy to send frequent updates and abide by any and all house rules.
“Katlyn is a great dog sitter! She was available on pretty short notice and even agreed to stay at our house. She came to our house to meet Tucker beforehand which I really appreciated so I could show her around the house. She was in communication with me everyday providing updates and pictures on Tucker. She took him on lots of walks and adventures and even got him to cuddle with her! We will definitely use Katlyn again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had my current lab mix Dexter for 14 years. I've been house-sitting and boarding dogs at my home for 5+ years. If at my house, I only board one dog at a time to make sure the attention is on our special guest! This has been especially nice for seniors and puppies. My full-time job is 100% remote so I am home all day every day and have a flexible schedule allowing for walks, play time etc. I have a spacious yard with an invisible fence, so I walk visiting dogs on leash. My senior dog is sweet and welcoming to all our furry guests.
