About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.

About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I offer reliable, caring pet care services for both dogs and cats. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, potty breaks, basic cleanup, companionship, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I am also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding instructions, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or extra cuddle time. I have about 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets. Because I am home often and not commuting to an office every day, I am able to provide attentive care, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I am doing pet care as a way to make school more manageable while also doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they are my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, playtime, feeding, or just someone kind and dependable to keep them company, I am happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time remotely but am looking to supplement my time with animal care. I have always loved animals and it’s important to me. I take it very seriously, I want everyone to know that I will love your animal as much as mine. I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.

About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with your pet.

“Winnie had a great time with Rachel! Rachel is clearly very experienced with dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie with her. She knew exactly how to give Winnie the time she needed to sniff around and feel comfortable in Rachel's environment. It was clear that Rachel gave Winnie a lot of one on one attention. She also took her on a walk at the park. Rachel took the time to debrief me on how Winnie's day went, and seemed to really understand Winnie's personality. Rachel's experience with caring for and training dogs gave me a ton of peace of mind in leaving my precious pup with her.”

“I can't say enough great things about Jonathan and the care he provides for my two babies Louie and Chase. Like many pet owners, my babies mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Jonathan cares for my dogs as if they were his own. He is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. His scheduling system is very easy to use and he provides very personalized care easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. He is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a dog sitting service.”

“María took great care of my Coco for 9 days when I went out of the country. María provided constant feedback and pictures. Coco had a lot of fun, didn’t rush to jump on the vehicle to get back home. He was very relaxed like if he just came back from vacation too. Maria was very accommodating when I had to modify the times and dates due to airline last minute changes. I’ll bring Coco back for care in the future ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’m patient, reliable, and truly care about every dog I walk. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel safe and happy. I follow instructions closely and treat every dog like my own. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons after 3pm on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends. I offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding when you’re away on vacation. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. In my care, pets are supervised, kept on their routine, and treated gently and patiently. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure the pet feels secure and comfortable.

I can tell by the photos and messages I received during his stay that they were being super attentive and giving him all the love that he gets at home. It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but after our first meeting, I knew Emy was the perfect fit. Will 100% be contacting her again in the future. Thanks guys!!”

Valerie was wonderful in every way with Snickers and myself. I had a family emergency and I booked her for 10 days. I wasn’t exactly sure when I was going to be back. She said no problem just let her know. She sent pictures and updates all the time. When I went to pick her up today she had given her a bath and washed her beds. I would highly recommend Valerie and will forever be grateful.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
