“Isabella was a delight. I know Molly was well cared for. I received regular updates with photos and prompt responses. She is extremely accommodating and I felt at ease leaving my sweet dog under her care.”
“Dew was wonderful! Our sweet girl can be nervous and uneasy in new situations and Dew was endlessly patient and warm putting her at ease while she was staying with her. Dew sent pictures adn updates to keep us in the loop and was super quick in responding to any questions we had! I would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her pet sit Sankaty for us again!”
“Tracy was amazing when looking after our Charlie! She was super nice and welcoming, so much so Charlie felt right at home. She was very attentive with keeping us updated and of course with pictures of how good he was. This was our first time using rover and it couldn’t have gone better! Will definitely be using Tracy again in the future for our little man!”
“This was the first time since rescuing Lucy 2 years ago, that she was left with someone other than a family member. It was a week long stay and Doreen was very accommodating. Perfect home for a dog with separation anxiety and the fenced in yard was such a plus. I received updates and frequent photos of Lucy. I would recommend Doreen wholeheartedly.”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. I had a three-legged cat for 14 years who was truly my best friend, so I understand how much pets become part of the family. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, or space to relax. I’ll always treat your pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I work a typical 9–5 schedule during the week, but I have plenty of availability before and after work, as well as on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy spending my free time caring for them. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make their safety and comfort my priority. I follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, walking instructions, and any specific needs you share with me. I know being away from their owner can be an adjustment, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and time to feel comfortable with me.
“Diane was an amazing sitter for our older dog! I cannot say enough good things about her. I could tell from the outset that Diane genuinely cared for my dog and wanted to give him the care that he needs. And while we were traveling, we received lots of picture and video updates, and could clearly see how well he was being treated by Diane. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her services!”
“Margaret took excellent care of our senior dog while we were traveling. She was very attentive to his needs and made him feel very comfortable while we were away. She even graciously agreed to extend his stay for a couple of days when our flight home was canceled. I highly recommend her services!”
“Rusa and her family were so wonderful to our doggy. Our dog has had anxiety with previous boarders but she became so comfortable with Rusa and her family very quickly. Rusa also gave daily updates with photos, even cleaned our doggy’s eyes, and put booties on her paws when it snowed to protect her from the salt in streets. She was very communicative and trustworthy. Highly recommend.”
“Emma took amazing care of our 2.5 year old lab for one week while we went away on vacation. She took great care of our dog giving her plenty of exercise and care. She shared videos and photos on a regular basis which we were grateful for. Our dog came home safe and sound. We would definitely ask Emma to take care of our dog again!”
“Saiad was a trustworthy and reliable sitter during Max's stay. Max can be an insecure dog, but Saiad made sure he felt comfortable and well cared for throughout his visit. He followed all of our instructions, accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand, and made sure Max had a great time playing fetch and enjoying his stay. Would love to book with him again!”
“Carolina took great care of our dog! She communicated with us daily to check in and provide updates, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Laurie is taking wonderful care of our puppy,Kate Taking her for long walks and letting her bark at houses and deer. She is sending pictures and we can see how at home Kate is cuddling at Laurie’s feet”
About: Have no fear Val is here! In addition to providing gentle care, I can also keep my clients informed, have an open yard with closed gates, and take regular walks for more fresh air. I can provide Full time care. This consists of 7 days a week from Monday through Sunday! This includes holidays as well. Do you have inquiries? Contact me anytime! My home is smoke free and clean. I have a room dedicated to dogs. In the summer it is cold, and in the winter it is warm. Camera surveillance is installed in the room so that it may be checked over at night.
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“I am a repeat client of Oscar’s! Don’t have much words on how much of a great sitter he is. He took care of my kitten very well, very good with communication throughout my time. I’m glad I was able to find a good sitter like Oscar for my kitten very!!”
About: The love and respect I’ll treat your furry family with is based on my expertise in Yale-trained Canine Cognition and Pet Therapy experience with Tails of Joy. As a remote policy analyst and consultant without a dog of my own, my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you and yours! Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking, I make sure each dog receives personalized care based on their energy level, temperament, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

We were blown away by Katherine’s care of our girls! She took such good care of them and we felt very at peace leaving our cat and dog with her. She sent pictures 3 times a day with a little update and was super responsive the entire time. She asked all the right questions and if we lived in town we would definitely use her as our go to sitter! If you’re nervous about hiring a pet sitter, hire Katherine!
Barbara was great with our 2 year old staffy mix! We were worried because she is very scared around new people and we had a small issue the first night, but after a couple of days Presley was having a blast with Barbara's dog and the other dog she was watching! It was great that Barbara was willing to take on the challenge and be very patient with her. She also sent pictures and updates throughout her stay ☺️
I was out of town for a weekend and needed someone for dog boarding, so of course I went to Wendy! She was great with my dog and followed the care instructions I gave her. She provided updates throughout the day, was flexible with drop off/pick up time, and made things easy for me by dropping off my dog at my home. Wendy is great!
Melissa and Christian were fantastic with our two girls. Each day we received clever updates on what they were up to, how they were doing and what they have done. They were taken on multiple walks each day and were very comfortable with them. Will definitely be booking again with them!
Steph did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She was very communicative and provided updates daily along with the cutest photos. She really cares about the dogs she takes care of. Definitely one of the top sitters we’ve found on Rover! We would happily book again and highly recommend her! I can tell our pup was in great hands.
Emma took amazing care of our 2.5 year old lab for one week while we went away on vacation. She took great care of our dog giving her plenty of exercise and care. She shared videos and photos on a regular basis which we were grateful for. Our dog came home safe and sound. We would definitely ask Emma to take care of our dog again!
Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cats, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
