“My sitter Madalys did a great job. She sent pictures everyday with an update on my sweet kitty Chloe. Madalys responded quickly to my texts. And was very kind and loving so my rating of Madalys is PURRFECT”


About: I've done house/petsisting in the past & thought I'd get back into it. I can either come to your house (for dogs) or take your cat at my apartment. I currently work full time M-F 8-5. I can do after work or on the weekends. I live in Bethel...so local would be nice to have. I cannot care for dogs at my apartment. I can go to your house or I can take cats. I have a small apartment good for snuggling.

“Margaux was so great at dropping in to check on our cat, Danny, while we were away. She gave comprehensive report cards and diligently followed directions given. On top of that, she asked thoughtful questions about our pet that indicated she truly understood and cared about animals. We would love to have Margaux care for our Danny again!”


About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

“Tara is fantastic! She is so sweet and took great care of our cat. She also sent us pictures while we were away for our peace of mind. Our cat is pretty skittish and he warmed up to her so quickly! Definitely recommend her :)”


“Jolene did a great job watching Gwen! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, followed instructions, and took great care of Gwen (including playtime and zoomies!). Would definitely book again. Thanks so much, Jolene!”


“Jamie and Danae were terrific caretakers for our "zoo" of animals including both fowl and feline. I would rebook them again! In addition the communication from them was regular, caring, and detailed. Five stars.”


“Dre was absolutely amazing!!! My little kitty baby has been sick and Dre was so caring and attentive to his needs. She administered his medications while I was away on a trip and sent me extra updates to ease my anxiety while I was away. Dre was punctual and very professional. I highly recommend her and would give 10 stars if I could!”


About: Hi! I'm Bradley, a dedicated pet care provider with over 12 years of professional experience caring for dogs, cats, and other beloved pets. I have worked at a veterinary hospital and owned a pet sitting service. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or special care needs, I treat every pet like family. My top priorities are safety, comfort, and building lasting bonds with the animals I care for. Over the years, I’ve earned the trust of countless pet owners through reliable, compassionate, and personalized service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am stay at home dad for our son. He is in school full-time all year and I have plenty of time during the week and also weekends to fill you pet care needs. I have two friendly dogs and one cat of my own. I can provide house check-ins for love and attention or walks multiple times a day if requested.

About: I am very good with animals and have dog sat many times for friends and family. I now have two cats, Tony and Eustace, who I love dearly. I have experience with senior care for an aging female dog, who I took care of during her last few months of life while her stomach was ailing and mobility was decreased. I love walking dogs and spending time with animals, especially outside. I am very conscientious, careful, and loving around others animals, and would be honored to take care of your cat(s) or dog(s)! I currently have a flexible schedule and am hoping to pick up pet-sitting and dog-walking clients during daytime hours. I have some night-time availability, if desired. I promise to create a safe and loving environment for your pets and to listen to you on how best to take care of them!

About: I have had animals all my life. I would love to help you care for your cat or dog. I am here to walk, feed, and care for your furry friend anytime. I am free for the summer and available to help you out with your pet(s). Walking, feeding, basic or specialized care, I am here for you and yours. I will come to your home to care for your furry friend. I live in Brookfield CT and have transportation to suit your / your pets needs.

About: I had a golden retriever for 4 years and played a large role in taking care of her! I also have lots of experience taking care of my neighbors dogs periodically including feeding them, playing with them, and walking them! I’m currently working part time and my schedule varies. I will most likely be available for mid morning or late afternoon walks, but my schedule always changes! I am up for long or short walks, and if your pet stays at my house for the day I have other members of my household that would help as well! I live at a house with a very large backyard, and there is plenty of space in between houses. I have an electric fence from my previous dog as well. My neighborhood is great for walks as it is a very suburban neighborhood!

About: Almost always available to pet sit and walk, please read more for details! I have personal and professional experience pet sitting for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. Through working various jobs/ internships, I am good at following strict regimens for feeding, going outside, and any other responsibilities asked of me. My love for animals started when I was little - I grew up with one St. Bernard and one Labrador Retriever, learning how to interact with animals as a child. When my older sisters would pet sit, I would come along with them to help and see the animals (as a child, I mostly just wanted to go because they were so cute!). I also love visiting shelters to interact with the pets and give them well-deserved attention. I will not be available Memorial Day weekend. I’m currently working part-time on a very flexible schedule. I can most likely work around your pet’s schedule as long as there is notice a few days in advance! I prioritize observing an animal’s behavior with me and with its environment. I also try my best to form a connection with the animal so that taking care of it is less stressful for both parties. I would love to meet the owner and their pet prior to sitting, over call or in person, and enough in advance so that the sitter can have time to decide if another person is a better fit. If I believe caring for a specific pet is out of my expertise, then I will not accept a job as safety is my first priority.

About: I have had animals all my life and understand the strong bond we form with our pets and how difficult it is to be away from them. I am committed to taking care of your pet like they're my own. I have experience caring for pets of all kinds and ages, from dogs and cats to fish and guinea pigs. I have experience taking care of puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats with conditions like diabetes. I love going on long walks with dogs and playing with cats, and hope to befriend your pet! I am working part-time this summer so my schedule is very flexible and I have a lot of availability. Please reach out with any questions! I will maintain your pets routine and am committed to providing your pet with a fun and safe time while you're away. I am also very tidy and will leave your house better than I found it.

About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I ensure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away. With experience in administering medications, handling special diets, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment, I go the extra mile to make pets feel at home. Plus, regular updates and photos mean you’ll always know your pet is in great hands! Working remotely four out of five days allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I can offer frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. On the one day I go into the office, I carefully plan my schedule to make sure pets still receive the attention they need, whether through morning and evening visits or coordinating care around their routines. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cozy spots for rest. I maintain their routine, including feeding, potty breaks, and any special needs like medication. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal as possible. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, and any special care needed. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates with photos, so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry friend is happy and well cared for!

Leah C.
“Leah has always loved animals and has a tremendous instinct to care for them as she did with our cat Shadow and our dog Lola when she was growing up with them as our pets. It is immediately apparent when pets are around Leah they relax and show her affection because of the gentle vibe they pick up on from her. She has pet sit for friends and family numerous times and she genuinely enjoys the company of animals. I can say without hesitation that Leah will make a great addition to the Rover team.”
