“Melissa is a lifesaver! She was able to come check on my cat while I was away for 11 days. She made sure he had plenty of food, water and treats! She also sent me pictures of him with each visit so I knew he was being well taken care of :) I will absolutely book with her in the future and if you live in the New London/Groton area and need a pet-sitter, you can take comfort in knowing your pet will be well taken care of by Melissa!”
“Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.”
“I am so grateful for Heather and how well she took care of my kitties. It was my first time leaving them with a non family member or friend and I’m an anxious cat mom but Heather put my worries to rest and did a great job accommodating each of my cats needs. She clearly communicated each day and took cute pictures of them that I cherished while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her :)”
“I am so so happy we found Kristen on Rover! This was our first trip traveling without our pup, and after meeting Kristen, we felt so confident that our pets would be well loved and attended to. She gave prompt updates after her visits with our pup "smiling" in every picture- clearly having a blast! We were so impressed she packed so much into a half hour- walks, fetch, food and potty break. She also went above and beyond caring for our cranky elderly cat. Its a relief to have someone we trust locally to care for our pets as we would, giving us peace of mind to travel. We will 100% be working with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”
“Tina is the best! She took wonderful care of my two kitties and we could not be happier. She was able to get my senior cat to take her daily medicine without issue and was super communicative with detailed daily updates. I will absolutely reach out again next time we need a sitter!”
“Steve goes above and beyond the normal cat care tasks. He is always on time, does a thorough job and provides excellent feedback giving us peace of mind while we are away. He even brought along a laser pointer to engage them in playtime!”
“Molly was fabulous while watching our 3 cats for a week in our home! She was very attentive to their quirky needs and individual personalities. She was very patient while waiting out their shy, adjustment period. She administered meds to 2 of the 3, twice daily, which sometimes isn’t a smooth process! Molly was efficient and resourceful when dealing with our “disappearing” older female who re-surfaced after Molly’s efforts! She followed our instructions and reached out very responsibly when she had questions or concerns. We returned to a perfectly clean, fresh smelling home and 3 very content felines! We very much appreciated her daily updates with pictures! Will definitely hire her again for our next trip! Sincerely, David and Nora”
“Stacy was a great pet-sitter for my cat Cordy! She has to take a daily medication, and Stacy was able to give it to her no problem, and also spent some time with her afterwards. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have may years of experience caring for dogs. During each visit, each dog will receive some play time and a walk. I will be able to care for senior dogs with ease. Currently, I work part time, so I have lots of time to give each pet the time that is required to keep them happy and safe. While visiting with each pet, I will make sure that the pet has food, water, and play time. I will also make sure that their house is safe until their person comes home.
About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!
“Rachel was so wonderful in taking care of my fur baby as well as his buddy that we are dog sitting for the next week! Rachel did everything we asked plus more and handled the two big pups with ease! I will absolutely be reaching out to Rachel anytime my husband and I are away!”
“As a first time Rover client, I could not have been more please with Samantha! She was absolutely fantastic with my cat, respectful, and sent me so many great pics and updates to reassure me my kitty was doing well during my absence. I'll be reaching our to Samantha next time I leave town. Thank You Samantha for your wonderful and loving care!”
About: People should hire me to watch their pets because I have experience dog and house sitting for many of my family members, family friends, and people that we know through work that own dogs that have asked my sisters and I to watch their dogs when they are traveling out of the country or state. I when in dog sit, I would make sure that the the dogs are on a feeding schedule for morning, noon and night and take them out for a walk before I either leave for work, school or have to do errands for the day. Or, I would usually take the pets over to my house so that it can be easier to watch the dogs with mine and see them interact with my dogs. I make sure that the dogs get plenty of exercise beforehand, for example, walk them, play with a ball, frisbee, etc. before leaving for the day or we go to bed so that it would be easier for them to fall asleep faster.
“Isabella was absolutely amazing and trusting in taking care of my dog :) she went above and beyond each stop by for him to make sure he was happy and felt loved. I will absolutely rebook Isabella next time I’m out of town!”
“Susan did an excellent job taking care of my cat and home while I was away for two weeks! She and my cat were fast friends and I returned to a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have experience caring for my own pets as well as others. I have helped neighbors, friends, siblings by watching their pets/house sitting throughout my life on and off. I work virtually 2 days of the week then 3 days in office. So I am able to house sit/pet sit all week as long as have wifi for work from home days a nd as long as pets can be alone for 4-8 hours when I am in the office I will follow all the rules or schedules you have for your pets. I also love adventure and cuddles so I will take pets on walks, hikes, joy rides, etc. then end the day with naps and cuddles. I will also take so many fun photos of your pets on all these adventures and send to you.
