About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“They are very professional and kind people. My dog had a great time with them! They paid attention to every detail, so I didn't have to worry at all about leaving my dog with them.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and am currently a doting dog-mom to an anxious, rescue shih-tzu mix! Whether your dog is big or small, great on a leash or not, I am happy to spend time with them and attend to their individual needs! I am currently between jobs and I have a car, so I can come to your home with flexibility and ease! I am available most days after 10am! I am happy to walk your dog, spend quality time with them in the home, or play with them in the yard! I can also feed them and give medication or treats as needed!
“My Luna’s new fav house! Barbara is so easy going and very attentive to Luna. Her spacious backyard is a dream space for a busy dog to spend her days! So glad we booked with Barbara and looking forward to the next booking!”
“Daniela was great with my pup! She asked great questions that made me feel confident that he would be safe and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Judy was so kind, detail oriented, and trustworthy with my senior chihuahua. I left Milly with Judy for the day while I attended a conference. Judy provided routine photos and updates. I could tell Milly was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up - no anxiety”

About: Hi! My name is Margaret & I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, and I am working to raise the bar around pet care. I truly enjoy building relationships with my clients and work hard to ensure every pet care experience is positive! After spending over 20 years in the corporate world, I offer my clients professionalism, transparency and clear communication. If you feel like I might be a fit for you, please feel free to reach out to me for an introductory call. We will talk about your needs and requirements, and you will also have an opportunity to learn about me and how I work. So if you’re looking for a one-time engagement or a longer-term arrangement, I would love to hear from you! My schedule is generally flexible and can accommodate most needs. I’m currently enrolled in a virtual masters program and work from home, so I can provide pets a high level of attention and care. Pets in boarding/daycare in my home participate in all of our family activities (so long as they are pet safe). I also enjoy exercising and will take dogs in my care on long walks, nature hikes and outdoor activities. Note: My calendar is generally kept up to date, but I sometimes get last minute request that I haven’t had time to update in my Rover calendar. So it is always best to reach out to confirm my availability. I work to ensure my home environment is safe for both my resident cat and the animals in my care. - Boarded dogs will sleep either with or near me and have constant access to their bed, food, water and toys. - My backyard is big, open and partially fenced, allowing for supervised and tethered play. - Boarded cats will have exclusive access to my office, where they can eat, sleep and retreat into, if they wish. They are also encouraged to explore the rest of my home, as they wish. Please note: I do not allow my resident cat to interact with boarding cat(s) for everyone’s happiness and safety. To ensure engagements are safe and positive: 1) I require all new boarding and house sitting clients to have an introductory phone call with me before finalizing booking requests AND before meeting in person (if appropriate). - I also strongly advise that we have an in-person meeting at your home for all pet sitting engagements. 2) I have a resident cat and as such, all boarding / daycare pets must be cat safe, have low prey drive and/or have low reactivity.
About: Hi there! I’m a certified therapy dog handler with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My lifelong passion for animals began when I was a little girl, and it’s grown into a fulfilling career centered on compassion, connection, and trust. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare known as Paws of Greenwich, volunteered with Adopt-A-Dog, and have hands-on experience with basic training—especially with rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. Having cared for three amazing dogs of my own (two of them rescues), I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, your dog will always feel safe, loved, and cared for in my hands. 🐾 I’m currently a full-time dog sitter, dedicated to providing the highest level of care, attention, and love for your pets. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor adventures or cozy days at home, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From scenic hikes and fun outings to quality playtime and cuddles, your dog will always feel happy, safe, and loved. Meet-and-greet fees: $25–$30 I will always follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet to ensure their routine and comfort are maintained. Typically, I take dogs outside at least three to four times a day, unless discussed otherwise or we’ve already enjoyed a long outdoor adventure that day. I’m happy to handle feeding, bathing, and any other needs for only $5-10 on top of the total cost, and will always making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and endlessly loved.
“Josie had such a lovely day with Clinton, his dog, and his son! She got lots of cuddles, time to roam around the fenced backyard, and plenty of window watching, three of her favorite things. Clinton communicated well and sent lots of great photos. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!”
“My dog had a great day with Ashley. She made friends with another dog and came home tired! Ashley was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and put me at ease. Would reccomend!”
“Karen is an absolute gem! We did a meet and greet beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving our senior dog, Kuro, in her care. Kuro had such a great time with her, and we felt totally confident knowing he was in good hands. Karen was attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She also sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We’re definitely planning to rebook with her again!”
“Jolysa is amazing!! Took such great care of our little zipper! Sent lots of photos and updates and held him all day long. He gets a bit anxious at new places but I can tell he felt comfortable with her. Her dog is also amazing and super sweet :) would definitely recommend and come back!”

Daniela is so great. She got along with Bammie on the first day. She sent frequent updates of our pup enjoying his stay. She is also very flexible with our schedule. We had a church event that finished a little late and she was still able to accomodate. 100% recommend and will schedule her with Bammie again.
We love Yenis!! I couldn’t have asked for a better day care visit with her! She is so caring and attentive I felt so comfortable knowing she was going to give our 4 month old pup the same amount of love and care that we would! We can’t wait for our next daycare stay with her and Milo!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Riverside commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
