About: Thank you stopping to read my profile! My name is Ellen. I am a lifelong dog owner. Presently I have one dog Harry, who is a 10 year old Wheaten Terrier. I have three grown children, and have lived in my home for 35 years. Watching dogs has brought me a lot of happiness and I look forward to potentially meeting your pup. Above all, I value safety. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for dogs of all ages. I have a large yard that backs up to a park and the walking trails, so your pup has plently of room to explore and play - perfect for dogs who enjoy regular walks and outdoor adventures! As a life long dog owner and dog lover I have experience caring for them at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I tailor each visit to your dog’s needs, whether they prefer active play or a more relaxed stay. I do have dog beds and bowls, but if your dog has a special bed, bowl, toy, that would make them feel more at home than please don’t hesitate to bring them along. Your dogs safety and happiness matters!! Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure yours feels safe and happy during their stay. Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs - such as dietary restrictions, separation anxiety, treat limitations, or known triggers- so I can provide the best care tailored to them. I offer: One-time drop-ins, recurring daycare and overnight stays. Whether your dog loves long walks or prefers quiet days, I’m here to make their time away from home as comfortable and joyful as possible. Pet care fits into my scheduyle as a non-negotiable daily routine that starts early to ensure your pet is fed, excercised and settled before I begin my day. I block 20-30 minutes each morning for a quick walk and play time. I have a trusted caregiver in the event of an emergency. Meet and greet introductions, emergency contacts, including veteranian and backup caregiver. My home is safe and secure from and toxic foods, I will provide gates if necessary, learn leash and harness preferences, feeding and medication schedules, routines, any protocols I need to be aware of for safety.

“Lauren is friendly and reliable!! She sends you bunches of pictures and reports details of how your loved furry family is doing while your absence. Our cat was the same happy girl when we got back home from our trip. Definitely we recommend her and come back to her next time. Thanks again Lauren ?”
About: I've been a forever dog and cat lover and have jumped at the chance to care for pets at every point in my life. I'm now lucky to have the availability and flexibility to care for them all week long. I am pursuing my own business development on the side and am therefore flexible to care for animals for the majority of the week, other than at times when I happen to need to travel myself. As I am not working any sort of ordinary job or 9-5, I have a great amount of availability and flexibility in hours. I take care of pets in their own homes (at the client's home), and my services range from staying overnight to walking/checking in/providing breaks throughout the day, either on a sporadic or more consistent basis, depending on the client's need.
“Karina has been a wonderful caregiver to Dex! She goes above and beyond for him. She thinks of everything and makes sure he is always well taken care of. I have found her to be very reliable and professional and would recommend her to anyone! She is very thoughtful and thorough in all that she does, 5 stars!”
“Jen was great! She was very informative about the process and sent us updates/pictures of our 2 Cats while we were away. This was our first time using the Rover app. Jen made the expierence comfortable and easy.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover who has cared for a wide range of breeds, including Labs, Mini Pins, Beagles, German Shepherds, Boxers, and French Bulldogs.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals I've been a pet owner most of my life, and an animal lover for all of it. I've worked with animals across multiple jobs in my life. All animals have unique personalities, so adaptation and individualized care is very important to me. My roommates and I do not have any pets currently. We keep a clean and cozy spacious apartment near Elizabeth Park.
“There are so many things I could say about Mariah, but it still wouldn’t be enough. She bailed us out after a one day notice. I had to go to work and she took care of our beautiful puppy teddy. He was happy having fun running around and he really enjoys seeing other people. Teddy wasn’t feeling good, yet she wrote us a card saying he’s a lot better and she just went beyond all of our expectations. If you are looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further than Mariah. We will be using her again!”

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Simsbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
