Wow! Zara is the best! Zara and her family exceeded our expectations in every way!. Zara is loving, caring, knowledge and responsible caregiver. She clearly loves animals and loves the animals she cares for as her own. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Zara cared for our 150 lb Newfoundland dog, 2 cats, and 2 donkeys in our home for 13 days. Our dog has a very difficult time when we are away, and due to his size can easily be overwhelming. Zara was outstanding with him. We received daily photos and updates. The amount of love and attention that Zara and her family gave our pets was obvious. I highly recommend Zara.

Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶

About: I am a very active person i love being out side and going on runs or just simply going on walks. I wake up early everyday and usually go on runs and take my little puppy on walks. I live in a nice area close to town. I love all types of dogs and my schedule is very flexible being a realtor so i am always able to do walks at all times! would love to have overnight stay and would give extra love to all the dogs! I am a full time realtor so my schedule is made by me and can be very flexible. I can be pretty open with my hours. I have a fenced in yard and also own a duplex so I can house different dogs upstairs or separate if need be. I absolutely love dogs and cats so any pet will feel right at home with my care.

Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in my house since I was in middle school. Since high school, I began dog, cat, and baby sitting for my neighbor on a regular basis and even continued while on breaks from college and after graduation. For the past 5 years, I was the primary dog, cat, and house sitter for a lovely family. My senior year of college I fostered a dog, which my family and I then went on to adopt. I have experience with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and ages. After helping a variety of dogs & cats in NYC, I have relocated to Connecticut, and I’m looking to help out any people and pets in my area! I currently work a hybrid schedule and am onsite on Tues-Thurs. My work allows me to take calls on walks and have the ability to take animals out for walks as needed! We currently live in a condo with easy outdoor access. I do not have any pets. I am comfortable with crate training, but my home is also flexible to let your pet(s) roam if that is preferred!

Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.

Oh my goodness, Alex was just wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased with his work taking care of our many pets and our house. Best of all, he was friendly and communicative, sending pictures regularly and never seeming annoyed when I needed reassurance that all was well. We will definitely rebook with Alex if he'll have us!

We recently had the pleasure of having Sandra house sit and care for our dog Simba and we couldn’t be more impressed! From the very beginning, Sandra was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, asking plenty of detailed questions to make sure Simba’s routine and needs were fully understood. What truly amazed us was how quickly she bonded with Simba. He’s a Korean Jindo, a breed known for being cautious around strangers, but Sandra clearly has a special way with animals. Within the first day, Simba was not only comfortable with her but actually playing and following her around like they’d known each other for years! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Sandra kept our home tidy, stayed communicative, and treated Simba like her own. She’s reliable, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Sandra is officially our go-to sitter from now on — highly, highly recommend!

Sarah - was amazing! Our two dogs were so happy with her and were so happy when we got home. In addition, she was unexpectedly snowed in with them and took wonderful care of them and the house. We will be using her again and if anyone needs a personal recommendation, we are more than happy to endorse Sarah!

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!

About: Hi there! I’m a loving and adventurous dog sitter who believes every pup deserves care, attention, and a good dose of playtime. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so I know firsthand how much love (and patience!) goes into building that unbreakable bond through experience. As someone who loves being outdoors, you’ll often find me exploring nature trails, parks, and neighborhoods — always with a furry friend by my side. I love to keep myself fit & healthy so your pup can expect quality walks full of fresh air, exercise, and plenty of tail wags & sniffs! I enjoy connecting with families from all walks of life and truly value building trusting, long-term relationships so if you’re looking for consistent exercise and a loyal best friend for your fur babies, I’m your girl! It fits into my schedule perfectly as I love having the flexibility to accommodate multiple walks, achieve my exercise, and bond with all different dogs who make it worth the time & care that goes into this hustle :) Aside from a quality walk, sunshine, fresh air and play time, I always ensure they’re taken care of with food, water, meds (if needed) and any requests the owner has I can help with.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals. I’m a pet owner with two dogs, two cats, and a bird, and I’ve also pet-sat and run a dog walking business growing up. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, always making sure they feel safe and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine. I take early classes and work a part-time job two days a week, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and evenings. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets, making sure they get consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention throughout the week. For dog walking, I focus on keeping dogs safe, active, and comfortable. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash preferences, walking routes, and any special needs. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, water breaks, and positive attention during walks. In a client’s home, I respect their space, secure doors and gates, and ensure pets are settled safely before and after each walk. My goal is always a safe, enjoyable walk that fits each dog’s energy level and routine.

About: I have experience with all dogs sizes, especially large breeds. I watched my childhood dogs go from puppies to seniors. From this, I’m able to administer medicine. I currently work from home remotely, so it is very flexible for me. With my current houses, I am able to bring my laptop and work there to allow no interruptions into your pet’s daily routine I care for your pets as if they were my own. When I’m in your home, I tried to make it as if I was never there to allow you to feel fully relaxed up upon coming home from your time away.

About: We've had a family dog for 18.5 years, each year full of unconditional love. I now have a dog of my own and hope to spend just as many loving years with him. Each dog I met makes an imprint with me, whether it be family dogs or ones I pass during a walk. I am available to spend time with your beloved pets at any time! I can walk them throughout the day while I walk my own dog and can be available for house sitting upon request! I have a big yard with a runner for the dogs to play on. I live on a dead end street that isn't too busy so there is no worry for your pup to run off. All my neighbors are friendly and would lend a hand if anything were to happen!
