About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

“Emma was so trustworthy and reliable in walking my dog Zoey twice daily when I was out of town for 10 days. I had left Zoey with my 86 yr old mother who was unable to walk her, so I was thrilled to find someone so capable.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve grown up around dogs and have personally raised both a German Shepherd and a Yorkie Terrier, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats, horses, and farm animals for years, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and ages. From feeding and walking to bathing and playtime, I’ve done it all. I’m great at reading animal behavior and helping them feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available on my days off as well as before or after my shifts. I love spending time with animals, so I’m excited to fill my free time caring for pets and helping out fellow pet parents whenever I can! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I stick to feeding and walk schedules, give them lots of love and attention, and always keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also treat your home with respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel totally comfortable and at ease during the time I’m there.

About: My family has always had pets. In my adulthood, I have owned and trained a yellow lab and chocolate lab and currently have a black lab named Kingston. He is my best friend and his amazing. We also have a tabby cat named Biggie Smalls. He is very sweet. I am looking forward to the opportunity to spending time with your amazing pet friends and caring for them as if they’re my own. I am a 20 year teacher with the summers off and I’m available six days a week. I spend my summer months catching up on yardwork and vacationing with my family and can be available to assist in times of need for your pets. I can be available to care for your pets both at your home and take them for walks when needed. I am flexible with requests.

“Thank you so much for walking Zoey faithfully everyday and sending all the photos - and especially for responding to and accepting my request so quickly when my previously booked dog walker had to cancel at the last minute. Zoey will miss you and probably be looking for you for several days ;-)”


About: I have had dogs my entire life and I deeply care for them and love them. They always bring me great joy when I get to play with them and take care of them. I love to go for walks and hikes. I also enjoy going to parks and the beach when possible for long walks. I take care of my parents two cocker spaniels when they are away. I helped train my parents dogs and helped raised them from when they were puppies. I have also fostered an older dog with medical issues and have experience dealing with dog medication. I work full time and am looking to make money on the side. I can stop in before work, middle of day and after work and I’m free weekends. I care for my own pet every day from taking her for walks, food, daily medication and lots of cuddles. Working from home allows me to be flexible with my schedule to include caring for others pets. I care for your pets just a kind and loving as you would. I fully believe they are part of a family and should be treated that way. I will respect your home and any requests you may have for your pets.

“Carla has been great with my girls Mouse and Ivy. She is super dependable. She is always prompt with her communication and always lets me know if there is anything out of the ordinary during her visits and walks, which I appreciate very much. I recommend Carla, without reservation, for your pet care.”


About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, my entire childhood, adulthood, including my family and friends. I have a soft spot for kittens, puppies, and seniors. My current full time job ends July 31st, after that I will have full availability to dedicate time to your pet and their needs. I will respond quick and update schedule as needed. If a dog, I have no issue feeding, walking, and playing with your pet. Leases and crates included. Cats I can handle litter box, playing, meals, and medicine.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over three years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 2 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!

“Ava did amazing with our animals! I could tell by the pictures that our two dogs absolutely loved her! She was on time and communicative! Definitely recommend!”


Tyler R.
“Tyler is an experienced dogwalker and petsitter, and is clearly a compassionate animal lover, who is great with both dogs and cats. I've also witnessed his patience and skill with energetic dogs. He is trustworthy, and would care for your pets as if they were his own! In my experience using Rover for booking petsitters, it has meant so much to find someone that I feel truly cares about my pet, and goes above and beyond to give them that bit of extra care and attention (and sometimes belly-rubs!) while I'm gone. I'm confident Tyler would be that kind of sitter for your pet.”




Andrea G.


“Andrea is amazing!!! Sent tons of pics, reliable, and you can really tell she loves the pets she takes care of. We will definitely book with her again!”


Tiffany R.Star Sitter
“Tiffany's attention to detail assures me that Kooshina will be well cared for when I'm gone for a night or two, or more. She really connects with my cat, and not only feeds her as directed, and cleans her litter box, but she'll spend quality time playing with her, interacting or just being. She sends pictures and shares their adventures! My plants even get attention and water, when she cat-sits! As a dog and cat, and turtle and fish parent, Tiffany knows how to talk to the animals! Her kindness and genuine love for animals shows up for the assignment.”

She has taken care of my cats for years and not only follows their care instructions to the letter but took the time to get to know them, play with them, and spend quality time with them when I couldn’t be there. I have always been able to leave my pets in her care knowing they would be well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”

I also can attest to this because she takes care of my dog all of the time and he adores her!!”
